An overnight facemask is always going to be the product at the top of my list when my skin is in need of some TLC and when one is described as being a sleep mask designed to work hard to revitalise and hydrate skin — all while you catch up on those much-needed 'zzzs', is the one I am wanting. Enter the Disciple Downtime Overnight Mask.
Having already shared my love for the Disciple Clean & Serene and the Skincare Discovery Kit, I had high hopes that this mask would be just as amazing.
Ever wish you could get more out of those precious hours you spend snoozing at night? What if we told you there was a gentle-yet-effective mask that could leave you waking up smooth, glowy and plump skin? Enter: DISCIPLE Skincare's Overnight Retinyl & Hyaluronic Mask.
This mask is housed in a glass jar and is designed to be applied as the very last step in to your night time routine. So for me this is a double cleanse and then depending on whether my skin needs it, an oil, eye cream and always a lip balm, but if I am using this mask, I tend to keep my products to the absolute minimum to let it work its magic. You should only use this mask 1-2 times a week and having it layered on into a thick layer, simply leave it to do its thing whilst you sleep.
There is a reason that this Downtime Over Night Mask is so delightful and that is partly the lovely thick but it absorbs really quickly rather than sitting on your skin, then there is also those magic ingredients:
- Retinyl - which helps to soothe away signs of stress and smooths fine lines as well as to help stimulate collagen production;
- Hyaluronic acid - We all know this helps to absorb moisture and hold it within the skin, for a plumped up, hydrated complexion;
- Cucumber, green tea and chamomile which work to soothe any potential irritation and help re-balance.
What I have found with this mask is that when my skin is really dry, something that now flares up during my menstrual cycle, I find that using this mask calms my skin down. Where the dryness appears across my forehead and around my nose, it is often red with my nose looking as though I have had a bad cold. Using this mask helps to dull that redness and leave my skin feeling nourished and moisturised and it is perfect for just giving your skin some TLC.
Priced around £21, the Disciple Downtime Overnight Mask is a great addition to any even routine.
