Laneige

The Laneige Water Sleeping Mask Is Silky Smooth, Hydrating, And Will Leave You Beaming First Thing In The Morning.

I am not a morning person. I actually thought I was, until I met my husband, who is an actual morning person — someone who wakes up before the alarm and doesn’t immediately bury his face under the pillow and steal every last second of shut-eye before it goes off. When he’s not home, I hit snooze so many times that I’m not sure why I bothered to set an alarm in the first place.

Because of my aversion to waking up, I tend to resemble Oscar the Grouch at 7 a.m., but Laneige Water Sleeping Mask helps. It’s a delicious, bouncy gel that liquefies on contact, delivering plumping moisture to your face. I love the texture, which is like a thicker version of my favorite summer moisturizer, the Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Cream. It has all the hydrating goodness you crave without that greasy dipped-in-French-fry-oil feeling.

Laneige packs each blue jar with Hydro Ionized Mineral Water, a technology called Moisture Wrap that ensures the mask is performing at maximum capacity the entire time you’re asleep, and “Calming Sleepscent” — a soothing blend of orange flower, rose, and sandalwood.

In the morning after using it, my skin looks so dewy that you might mistake me for someone who hops out of bed at sunrise greeted by a team of singing birds to help me get dressed. Still on the fence? It won the Allure Best of Beauty in 2017.

Pros: Hydrating, lightweight, gentle enough for sensitive skin, leaves skin plump and dewy in the mornings

Cons: Doesn’t have exfoliating or anti-aging ingredients
