You’ve taken the time to perfect your daily skincare routine and your skin is reaping the benefits. Even if all you do is cleanse, moisturize and use a sunscreen, you’re setting your skin up for a lifetime of health and youthful radiance. There’s nothing wrong with a simple skincare routine, but if you’re looking to take things up a notch with minimal effort, consider a night treatment product, for example a night cream or an overnight mask. Overnight skincare products are designed to be worn while you sleep. Both night creams and overnight sleep masks come in a variety of different formulations to address a wide array of skin concerns from dryness to aging and everything in between. Read on to learn more about the benefits of overnight products and to explore the top five overnight creams and sleep masks from Yon-Ka Paris.
The Benefits of Night Treatment Products
Quality sleep is essential for overall wellness and health, including skin health, but there’s a simple way to take the skin benefits of sleep up a notch: use a night treatment product. A night cream or sleep mask is simply a skincare product designed to be worn overnight. They’re formulated for deep penetration without leaving a mess on your pillow.
Night creams and sleep masks take advantage of your skin’s increased ability to absorb product at night. Your body operates on a cycle regulated by various hormones including melatonin, the sleep hormone. Just as melatonin production is ramping up at night to make you sleepy, your skin hits its peak permeability, making it the perfect time to apply topical treatments. On the flip side, the skin also loses moisture overnight. Using corrective products at night helps protect against that moisture loss while providing supplemental skin benefits.

Before you hit the hay with your night treatment applied, it’s important to cleanse your skin to remove makeup, dirt, and other impurities. Choose an overnight cream or sleep mask that addresses your primary skin concern or keep an assortment on hand so you can switch between them as the needs of the skin change. Here are 5 overnight products to try from Yon-Ka Paris:
