The Best Korean Night Mask: Review
Some By Mi Retinol Intense Reactivating Mask
What I liked the most: If you have fallen for sheet masks too, make sure to try the Some By Mi Retinol Intense Reactivating Mask, intended for mature skin and dry skin. All you need to do is to is apply it to your thoroughly cleansed face twice a week before going to bed, and leave it to work. After you take the mask off, massage the residue of the serum into your skin with your fingers, then tuck yourself in for the night. You’ll be as good as new in the morning. If you have an early wake-up call, a morning meeting at work or just want to feel great in the morning, treat yourself to this quick beauty ritual in the evening.
Advantages: After the first use, your face will feel supple and smooth. For me personally, it’s probably the best night mask for sagging skin I’ve ever tried. The serum supports collagen production, so after you wake up, you won’t feel “wrinkled” but nice and fresh and ready for the new day. The mask contains only miracle ingredients, whether that means hyaluronic acid, retinol, tea tree oil, panthenol, niacinamide, or centella asiatica.
Disadvantages: Maybe just that if you get one, soon you will be ordering more. So order a few to stock up right away.
Missha Time Revolution Night Repair Ampoule
What I liked the most: Another reliable helper in the fight against dry skin and wrinkles is the Missha Time Revolution Night Repair Ampoule sheet mask, which will enrich your usual beauty routine. The brightening and refreshing face mask pampers your skin and ensures that it feels fresher than ever in the morning. Use it again on your cleansed skin before going to bed, then finish the treatment by massaging the remaining serum into your face. Feel your face in the morning and enjoy silky-soft skin which will improve your entire day.
Advantages: The biggest advantage of sheet masks is that their application is incredibly simple, and they work quickly. And that’s no different in this case. Your skin will love this premium treatment. A big bonus is the panthenol content, which soothes the skin beautifully.
Disadvantages: A slightly higher price, but it’s definitely worth it for the perfect awakening.
TIP: Don’t exceed the recommended sheet mask application time. They are a great tool when used as specified. If you leave the mask on for longer, it can start “sucking out” moisture from your skin.
Neogen Dermalogy RE:P by Neogen Nutrinature Ultra All-Night Moisture & Relief Mask
What I liked the most: With more than twenty years in the beauty market, the Korean brand Neogen has made it to the top of its industry. Their Neogen Dermalogy RE:P by Neogen Nutrinature Ultra All-Night Moisture & Relief Mask is definitely one of the top products, and should (at least on the basis of my experience) become part of every beauty routine. This mask can work miracles. You just need to include it in your beauty routine at least twice a week.
Advantages: After just one use you’ll see that your skin is deeply hydrated and nourished. If you use the mask regularly, you will see other visible effects such as significant brightening, but also a reduction of wrinkles. And to top it all off, it smells great.
Disadvantages: I haven’t found any.
Some By Mi Yuja Niacin Brightening
What I liked the most: The Some By Mi Yuja Niacin Brightening mask works on your skin all night long. It utilises night cellular regeneration processes and delivers the necessary doses of vitamins while you sleep. The lightweight, fresh consistency means it’s absorbed quickly, so you don’t need to worry about going to bed with an unpleasant build-up of it on your face. Plus, the natural fragrance of yuja bark boosts sleep, so you’ll feel beautifully refreshed in the morning. Apply it to your clean face in the evening, avoiding the eyes and lips, and wash your face with water in the morning.
Advantages: This mask has a unique formula you won’t find elsewhere. Seventy percent is made up of exotic yuja fruit extract, which hydrates, soothes and nourishes skin. Credit for the perfect results also goes to the popular ingredient niacinamide that brightens your skin, and ten types of vitamins that soothe and revitalise sensitive skin damaged by external stress. The fresh citrus fragrance is just the icing on the cake.
Disadvantages: None that I could find.
For Sleep Disturbed by Nothing and No One
Cosrx Ultimate Nourishing
What I liked the most: The Cosrx Ultimate Nourishing rice night mask can be used in 3 different ways. Apply it before going to bed, leave it on all night and wash it off thoroughly with water in the morning. Apply it any time during the day, leave it on your face for 15 minutes, and rinse it off. Or use it as a moisturiser, applying a thin layer to your face and letting it to get absorbed. This is exactly why it’s a great travel companion – it can easily replace three different products.
Advantages: Apart from the versatility, which I was amazed by, the visible effects are also worth a mention. Your skin will be nourished, regenerated, and your skin tone more overnight. If you use the mask long-term, fine wrinkles and lines will be smoothed out and your skin texture will improve in general. Rice extract, sunflower oil and niacinamide play a big part in all this.
Disadvantages: I haven’t found any disadvantages here either.
Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Sleeping Pack
What I liked the most: Sleeping your way to beauty has never been easier. The SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Sleeping Pack perfecting mask reliably soothes and renews your skin during the night. With the hyaluronic acid and melatonin, your skin will be beautiful, refreshed and perfectly rested as soon as you wake up. All you need to do is apply a thin layer of the mask to your face and neck area before going to bed and have sweet dreams. That won’t be hard with the watermelon and pear extracts that combine to create a sweet, refreshing aroma.
Advantages: The light gel consistency makes it easy to spread and you can barely feel it on your face. While you sleep, it can nourish even very dry skin, which will be full of life not only in the morning, but also all day long. If you use the mask regularly, your skin will be visibly brighter, your skin tone more even, and acne minimised.
Disadvantages: None.
Now you know the best night face masks, meaning you can wake up feeling as if you have been reborn. Once you’ve tried one, you will always want to keep it on hand – I mean face.
