🛌 Tips for Best Overnight Results
✅ Cleanse first: Always start with a gentle cleanser to remove makeup, sweat, and dirt.
✅ Take it easy around eyes: Most masks should not be applied very close to eyes.
✅ Patch test first: If you have sensitive skin, test a small area before full‑face use.
✅ Don’t overuse masks: 2–3 times a week is enough for most skin types.
✅ Follow with light moisturizer: If your skin still feels dry, apply a thin layer of your favorite nighttime cream after mask removal.
🧴 What to Avoid
❌ Sleeping with masks that contain strong exfoliants (like lemon juice or baking soda) without dilution
❌ Using masks with heavy essential oils overnight if you have sensitive skin
❌ Applying masks on broken or inflamed skin without a doctor’s advice

✨ Hydrated
✨ Refreshed
