This Natural Overnight Skin Mask uses gentle kitchen ingredients to help hydrate, soften, and refresh your skin while you sleep. Overnight masks work because your skin naturally repairs itself at night, so adding soothing, moisturizing ingredients can help support that process.
Perfect for dry, dull, or tired-looking skin — and ideal content for wellness or beauty blog posts.
