A goodnight sleep is the backbone of maintaining healthy skin. Anything less than an uninterrupted eight hours and we’re wearing our lacklustre eye bags for a week. But just because we require rest, doesn’t mean that we can’t enlist the help of someone (or something) to do the hard yards for us while we doze. Introducing: the overnight face mask.
Overnight masks have been formulated to rejuvenate tired skin, replenish moisture lost during the night and boast the same powerful anti-ageing benefits as your current night cream. The only difference? They will continue to work until you wake up.
So for a radiant complexion that doesn’t require immediate rescuing every morning, here are the best overnight masks to ensure you’re having the ultimate beauty sleep.
Essano Collagen Boost Overnight Mask
By replenishing our depleting collagen stores, the Essano Collagen Boost Overnight Mask will provide the ultimate workout for your face as it firms up sagging skin and strengthens compromised complexions — without you having to lift a finger.

Clinique Moisture Surge Overnight Mask
When your skin is so dry that your foundation is flaking off, do yourself a favour and layer on Clinique’s Moisture Surge Overnight Mask before going to bed. In the morning, you’ll be greeted by a soft-to-the-touch, supple, and hydrated canvas.
“I think overnight masks are genius in general and this is one of the best I’ve tried. Non perfumed and safe for the most sensitive of skins. I can’t recommend this highly enough!” – Frenchy1

Burt’s Bees Hydrating Overnight Mask
Combining all the best that nature has to offer, the Burt’s Bees Hydrating Overnight Mask blends nourishing ingredients like avocado and beetroot to reinvigorate the skin and restore moisture.
“The mask was easy to apply and is good to use a couple of times a week to give your skin a break from your regular serums and creams. It’s not too thick and but feels luxurious once applied.” – Jodes71
$19.95 at Burt’s Bees
innisfree Green Tea Sleeping Mask
We’re no strangers to the skin-brightening benefits of the powerful antioxidant, green tea. Now bottled up and blended with other nourishing ingredients, innisfree’s Green Tea Sleeping Mask will keep your skin dewy, well hydrated and equipped to defend itself against ageing environmental pollutants.

Skin O2 Sleep Mask 24k Gold, Collagen+ HA
You can forget a basic moisturiser. From here on out, we’re all about lathering 24k gold flakes onto our skin. With its star-studded ingredient list that contains vitamin A, C, E, hyaluronic acid and yes, even gold flakes, Skin O2’s Sleep Mask is delivering an unmatched glow.
“I loved how it gave my skin bounce and resilience. It gave my skin also a deep hydration. I love what this did for my skin in the short term and now am looking forward to results in the long term with regular use.” – Clearcrystalwater

Habitual Beauty Hydrating Sleep Mask
After scoring an impressive 4.5 star rating in a recent Trial Team, bh members have cemented the Habitual Beauty Hydrating Sleep Mask as a nighttime routine must-have. The cooling, purpled-toned formula has been packed with a unique blend of omegas, antioxidants, and vitamins to nourish, protect and illuminate dull skin.
“I LOVE the colour of this sleep mask. It’s a beautiful lavendar purple which you don’t expect at first. This is great for all skin types, especially those with dry skin. The formula is thick but it absorbs wonderfully into the skin. It has a silk like texture when it absorbs into your skin – it blends beautifully.” – Belle07
$95 at Sephora

Which of these overnight masks would you most like to try?
I haven’t tried these brands (yet). I’d like to try the innisfree because I do like their Green Tea Seed Serum.
The current hydrating masks that I am using are from Garnier.
I would most like to the the Habitual followed by Clinique then Skin 02.
I made a typo. Hate not being able to edit comments. I need to be more careful before I hit post comment
Yes it’s annoying as
That bugs me, too, Izzy.
Me too !!
The Skin O2 mask is a dream to apply!
These all look so good! but I’m concerned for my pillowcase afterwards….
They soak into your skin and the ones i have tried are not greasy
They just like a moisturiser
I was thinking the same { being Silk }.
me too! that was always my concern or thought of overnight masks.
The Clinique moisture surge is great but in summer these are a no no for me. Breakouts
I’ve used Clinique. I haven’t tried the Habitual range yet and am quite curious to try.
Essano perhaps. Love overnight masks.
Yes I love overnight masks too -they really make your skin feel nourished
I haven’t tried any of these, but would like to give Burt’s Bees a try.
The essano & Innisfree ones sound great to try. I’ve only tried one sleep mask, Neutrogena Hydro Boost Sleeping Mask. I’ve repurchased it a few times. It’s my go-to for before events.
Wanted Skin02 in RR but didn’t have enough points 😫 I’ll have to read the reviews and be jealous of those who did get it.
It’s a wonderful mask! Get it in the next RR!
I have never tried an overnight mask but I am very interested to give it a go. Perhaps I will try the Essano if that brand is included in the next Priceline goody bag brands.
I got the Clinique one as part of a Christmas gift set, but haven’t yet tried it. Frenchy1’s review makes me keen to do so soon though, the non-perfumed part definitely makes it more appealing to me. I love seeing members’ reviews within these articles.
Skin O2 would be lovely to try -wow they all look nice
I have the Clinique overnight mask but haven’t used it as yet. I’d try them all if I had a chance.
I would like to try Burt’s Bees mask.
Never tried any of these before
I don’t really care for overnight masks, the ones I’ve tried were too thick for my liking.
Wow there are so many sleep masks now to choose from!
I have used the clinique moisture surge, it is quite good. Another one that should be on here is The Body Shop’s vitamin E sleeping mask, that stuff is really good =)
Oh and Trilogy’s overnight mask!!!! Very good ♡♡
I am currently using the innisfree Green Tea Sleeping Mask and its lovely to use, non greasy and I apply over a serum several nights a week. Ive been really ill and had to have surgery so my skin was a mess even peeling from medication and this mask has really helped.
I want to try that Green Tea mask!
I’d like to try the Clinique one as it’s fragrance free.
Have used the Clinique mask, it’s very good for sleeping in as it isn’t too oily and soaks into your skin rather fast.
I will give this a try.
the colour of the Habitual Beauty mask sounds cool!
Never used an overnight mask, wouldn’t it rub off?
So many great Sleep Masks to choose from love to try Habitual Beauty Hydrating and Sleep Mask also Sleep Mask 24k Gold, Collagen + HA.
I love overnight masks, the Clinique and Innisfree ones look good
Haven’t tried these masks but I have tried the glow recipe overnight mask and few others. I love overnight masks, so I will have to look into and try some of these ones!
Nothing beats Sulwhasoo’s overnight mask.
I have used the Clinique mask and loved it but I’d like to try any of these. Love an overnight mask.
I haven’t used over night mask.
I’m currently using a Sukin mask, the hydrating one. It’s not marketed as an overnight mask but it soaks in well like a moisturiser. Like other Sukin products I’ve tried it smells nice, it’s gentle but it’s hard to tell if it’s doing much for my skin.
I really like the Innisfree Green Tea Serum and their mask is pretty reasonable. I’m still using the Habitual Beauty Hydrating Sleep Mask from my trial and I do love it – and my skin looks terrific. It’s very expensive but it does have lovely ingredients.
I am not big on masks but overnight sounds like it would be easy and I should give it a try.
I’ve just noticed this for the umpteenth time: models with darker, unblended lip liner. New trend? There have been many Bh articles with pics like this recently.
The pic is courtesy of Habitual Beauty, I never would have noticed that if you had’nt mentioned it.
I would love to try any of these.
I received the Skin 02 in the latest rewards room, loving it
I’d love to try overnight masks, I currently have a sample from a friend I’d love to try out, but I’m not sure how it works there’s no directions lol. but I wonder if it may smudge on my pillow while I sleep? I guess it’s not going to do that? it would dry up. I’d love to know how everyone used their overnight masks? I know every mask maybe different though.
I use it just like a normal moisturiser, I really think it is a fancy name for a evening moisturiser, although it’s not recommended to use it every night.
I would love to try green tea mask because it’s my favourite ingredient.
I’ve tried the Clinique one, it’s very good 🙂
