This Really Works: A Hydrating Overnight Mask
It can seem daunting when you’re standing in the skin care aisle, starring at all the different lotions and creams deciding which one will give your skin that pick-me-up it needs. I was on the search for a night treatment that was gentle but still hydrating. I was nervous to try anything too extreme, since my skin is sensitive, so I started looking for something with the basics: hydration plus anti-aging benefits. I wasn’t expecting to end up with an overnight mask until I stumbled upon Lancôme’s Énergie De Vie Nuit Overnight Recovery Mask ($65).
The mask is free from parabens, sulfates, or phthalates and is packed with three natural root extracts that help reduce the look of fatigue, enhance radiance, and give skin a dewy look and feel. I have combination skin, and the mask left my skin feeling hydrated and rejuvenated without leaving behind any oily residue. While it’s not marketed as an anti-aging product, the mask is designed to lock in moisture and leave skin with a healthy glow. Since the product is thick, I end up massaging in a dime-size amount on my forehead and cheeks after I wash my face at night. The mask settles deep into the skin instantly so by the morning, you don’t have to worry about removing any excess product. If you are looking for a no fuss hydrating night treatment, the search ends here.
