We’ve heard the supposed recipe for good skin time and time again: drink lots of water and don’t skip on beauty sleep. But we weren’t born yesterday, and we know that water isn’t going to fix all of our skin woes. When 6-8 hours of beauty sleep just isn’t enough, sleeping masks are a literal dream come true.

So how do they work? Sleeping masks are the final step of a nighttime beauty routine and there’s no need to wait around to wash off the product. They’re meant to stay on the skin overnight when cells are in regeneration mode, so the ingredients can make the most of this crucial time. Of course, there’s a sleeping mask for just about every skin concern and most are formulated like rich moisturizers so they’re comfortable to sleep in. For the busy girl and beauty slacker alike, slathering on a sleeping mask nightly makes us feel like we’re killing the skincare game. Because skincare is a way of life, and who says we have to stop just cause we’re resting. (We cannot thank K-beauty enough!)
