Night masks are the new way to give yourself a youthful glow for the new year.

It’s time to add a new and fresh skincare product to your everyday routine for 2016.

Do you ever wake up and have your skin looking tired, even if you are using a night cream? There is a fairly new product on the market called a night mask that can be used a couple times a week to help keep your skin rejuvenated all through the night.

Many brands have launched these products and they come in many different textures so that they are suitable for all skin types. Whether it be a gel, oil or cream, they all do an amazing job at keeping your skin hydrated and will have you waking up with a healthy glow.

Lancome’s Visionnaire Nuit Beauty Sleep Perfect has a revolutionary texture that starts off as a gel when applied, but as you massage it into the skin, it gradually transforms into a lightweight, nourishing oil. Along with its beautiful texture, Lancome’s LR 2412 ingredient will also help minimize the look of fine lines and pores.

Even though this is one of the more expensive night masks, the oil component allows you to only need a pea size amount to cover the entire face.

Vichy has also released their Aqualia Thermal Night Spa that has a luxurious, velvety texture that provides intense hydration all night long, leaving your skin soft and supple in the morning.

While this product doesn’t work on fine lines or pores, it is perfect for those who find their skin is always dry no matter what they use.

Night Spa uses two clinically- proven ingredients that not only hydrates, but also creates a protective barrier that locks in the moisture.

Lastly, Lise Watier created their Age Control Supreme Nuit Sublime, which has the same amazing benefits as a night mask but also has an intense anti-aging benefit. This product uses Labrador Tea Extract, which is an extremely powerful antioxidant that will help with hydration as well as regeneration in the skin. Nuit Sublime has a rich texture and a sophisticated scent that is definitely intended for a more mature skin type.

In 2016, try adding something new to your skincare routine and you will definitely see a major difference in your skin. A night mask will help keep your skin hydrated all night long, will let you wake up with rejuvenated skin and will maintain that beautiful, youthful glow.
