How are overnight face masks different from face moisturizer?
Overnight face masks usually have a richer, more ingredient-packed formula than everyday moisturizers. They are also different from night creams, but both are intended to help hydrate and nourish your skin while you sleep. It’s important to choose the formula that’s right for you depending on your skin type, health conditions, and environmental factors.
Can I use an overnight face mask as moisturizer?
Depending on your skincare needs and condition, overnight face masks can sometimes be used as a moisturizer. However, the two are not interchangeable — an overnight face mask typically contains a thicker, richer formula than a moisturizer. As such, it’s generally advised that you do not completely swap out your nighttime face moisturizer for an overnight face mask.
How often should I use overnight face masks?
How frequently you apply an overnight face mask depends largely on the formula you choose. Each mask typically comes with specific recommendations on the label for how often you should apply the mask. Some formulas are light enough to be used every night, while others provide he best results when used occasionally.
