Restoration and moistening: 6 working night masks
Text: Adel Miftakhova
Like so many other interesting care items, night masks came to us from Korea. They give a noticeable effect overnight and perform different tasks: from simple moistening to lightening pigmentation and smoothing. Of course, you should not overestimate them: in the end, a night mask is the same thing as a night cream, unless it is more saturated and not absorbed to the end. They can be used immediately after washing and on top of lotion or serum. It is not necessary to apply too thick a layer: it will not add efficiency, and at night you will most likely stick to the pillow. Of course, you can use masks in the daytime, if you're not going to leave. Adel Miftakhova has collected for us a list of proven nightlife.
Night face pack Aveda Tulasara Wedding Masque
5200 rub.
Aveda at times overwhelms with ayurveda and ritualism, but this is not so bad: for many consumers it is important that cosmetics not only work, but also have a history, but here it is more than enough. The manufacturer writes that the mask is inspired by Indian wedding ritual, during which the bride is applied to the skin paste from turmeric, which is in a mask and contained.
Generally, it is difficult to say for sure about the benefits of turmeric for the skin, but there is evidence that it helps alleviate the symptoms of psoriasis, that it has antibacterial, brightening, antioxidant and healing properties. But at the same time, you should not use a mask on sensitive skin: there are too many plant extracts and essential oils in it, which can only harm.
Night Mask TonyMoly Magic Food Banana Sleeping Pack
1020 rub.
Korean brand TonyMoly has long ceased to be difficult to access: you can find it even in large cosmetic networks, but it is relatively inexpensive. Leaving with the smell of food is a piece for an amateur, but the aroma of banana gum in this mask is not at all annoying, although it lasts until the very morning. After some time after applying the tool on the face turns into a very pleasant fat texture, and then absorbed and almost not felt.
Banana Sleeping Pack is a product from the category of moisturizing and nourishing, you should not expect any additional effects from it. But she copes well with her tasks: in the morning the skin is supple, full and glowing with a healthy sheen. So much so that I don't even want to wash my face, but I want to go live my day like that.
Restorative mask Dr. Jart + Cicapair Night Re.Pair
6300 rub.
The Cicapair line is designed for irritated skin and contains healing components like niacinamide and Asian Centella. Of course, you can use it not only on irritated, but in general any skin, if you want a more intensive care than usual.
The mask among all means is perhaps the most powerful: it restores the protective barrier well, nourishes and removes redness. It is so good that you shouldn’t use it every day, the skin can react with rashes to too intensive care. Available tool in the format of sachets, and it is convenient for travel and long flights.
By the way, it shows itself especially well in flights: it creates such a reliable barrier on the skin that water remains in it for as long as possible, and there is no feeling of tightness (checked personally) even after six hours in an airplane. Only in this case, it is better to apply it over a moisturizing lotion or serum.
Natura Siberica Night Face Cream Cream Mask
1534 rub. in shops Natura Siberica
The Russian cosmetic giant recently began to closely monitor global trends in the care and, albeit with a slight delay, produces fashionable products. Night mask from the premium line -45. Siberia is positioned as a cream mask, but the essence is the same: rich care with a texture that you can’t apply during the day.
Bulky packaging: a matte plastic parallelepiped takes up a lot of shelf space, but contains the usual 50 ml of product. It is best to use this mask over active or moisturizing serums, but if you do not use these, then on clean skin it will give good moisturizing and help get rid of dullness and peeling.
Transforming cream mask L'Oréal "Luxury power"
555 rub.
Mass market giants are also trying to keep up with the trends, but it turns out that they are often strange: the funds are obtained as if made on the knee and therefore not thought out. Here, the story, fortunately, is different: the night mask contains many nutrients and a little exfoliating salicylic acid. You should not expect an instant effect: she will not be satisfied with the transformation during the night. But at the same time, it will slightly peel, smooth and moisturize the skin, and it will become noticeable in a couple of days of regular use.
Intensively moisturizing Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask night mask
1000 rub. for 50 ml
Origins brand philosophy is built around masks, and it would be strange if there was no night among them. By the way, it turned out to be one of the most successful in the line: an unobtrusive apricot smell, a pleasant texture, and a crazy moisturizing. Perfect for dehydrated skin of any type, but especially for normal and dry: it contains avocado oil, which contains a fair amount of linoleic and oleic acids - they help restore and maintain the protective barrier of the skin.
By the way, despite the naturalness of the brand, the mask has little irritating essential oils, and as for the owners of sensitive skin, it may well fit. But in this case, as with any products, it is worthwhile to test for allergies, you can use the tester right in the store.
