Testing out new skin products while having sensitive skin can sometimes feel like you’re stepping into a minefield, except instead of bombs, you get bumps, rashes, and flakiness.
We understand, and that’s why we’ve put together this list of 7 gentle sleeping masks that aim to soothe and prevent skin reactions.
Korean skincare is known for being gentle on the skin, and this famous product by Laneige is no exception. Its innovative SLEEP-TOX technology repairs and revitalises fatigued skin while gentle ingredients such as Hydro Ion Mineral Water, evening primrose root extract and Hunza apricot extract work to hydrate and protect the skin throughout the night.
That’s right, snails. But don’t be too quick to judge. With 50% snail extract and a mixture of skin-tightening herbal extracts and peptides, this product focuses on getting the skin back to its optimum condition by improving skin elasticity, essentially giving it a youthful appearance the next morning.
The best part is that it does all of this sans ingredients that could irritate the skin. That means no parabens, alcohol, mineral oil, or artificial fragrances.
DR.JART+’s Vital Hydra Sleeping Mask sits lightly on the skin but packs a punch in terms of ingredients.
With hydrating hyaluronic acid, soothing phytoncide and a unique Aqua Soothing Complex that provides extra protection and hydration, sensitive skin caused by excessive dryness during the night will most likely be a thing of the past. It also goes one step further with the addition of nine relaxing essential oils for a scent that encourages better sleep.
This hydrating sleeping mask by Banila Co. is great for giving dry, easily-irritated skin the rest it needs. Lotus extract calms down irritated skin while mineral-rich bamboo extract offers high levels of moisturisation. It also features a unique Urban Water Guard System which defends the skin from moisture loss as well as harmful UV rays as you go about your day.
Does falling asleep to the scent of calming lavender appeal to you? Then you’re up for a treat. Besides its pleasant scent, this sleeping mask from Laneige also offers increased moisturisation to the skin, giving it a more radiant and vibrant appearance - even to the most tired of us.
This Austalian-made product prides itself on being completely free of harmful ingredients, comprising instead of natural ingredients which work to better the skin’s complexion through a healing and hydrating effect. Such ingredients include antioxidants (from native Australian Wild Rosella Flower, Shea Butter and Avocado Oil) and a blend of natural extracts that fight against damage and ageing.
Composed primarily of hydrating and mineral-rich French Spring Water as well as soothing Jojoba Oil, this mask works by penetrating deep into the skin’s layers to moisturize and nourish the skin throughout the night.
