Wake Up to Radiance: How Sleeping Masks Are Changing Skincare
Home >
If you’ve yet to benefit from an overnight mask, here’s what you’re missing out, according to Dr Isabelle Yeoh.
The WHAT
A sleeping face mask is a convenient and effective way to replenish your skin, acting like a mini-skin reviver. Among the numerous options available on the market, a common issue is the lack of potency and potential sensitivity triggers from ingredients. In addition, not every mask can cater to the delicate under-eye area, which often requires extra care.
The WHY
Beauty on-the-go has become an important part of our busy lives. Face masks — DIY, sheet, peel types — have long been part of our at-home and travel skincare regimen, in between our facials and doctor’s appointments. The sleeping mask trumps them all by acting as a 6-8 hour treatment while our skin repairs itself during the night.
“The primary difference between moisturisers and masks is their interaction with the skin. While a moisturiser tends to sit on the surface, a mask penetrates deeper, saturating the skin’s cells with much-needed hydration,” explains Dr Yeoh. “As we age, our primary concern becomes skin dryness. A supercharged sleeping mask means we don’t have to pile on thick layers of moisturiser.”
The HOW
Forest MD’s Stem Cell Sleeping Mask was created when Dr Yeoh began exploring the potency of earth extracts on skin rejuvenation. Preliminary clinical studies have shown that plant cell culture techniques, including stem cells, can effectively reduce wrinkles, without risk or discomfort, while boosting the health and resilience of the skin.
“I had originally designed this product to target fine lines around the undereye area, But it worked so well that I decided to expand its usage to the entire face as a comprehensive skincare solution. Unlike most masks out there, our Stem Cell Sleeping Mask can be applied on the eye area too.”
Dr Isabelle Yeoh
The mask works using transdermal liposomal technology for maximum bioavailability, delivering a high dose of Swiss apple stem cells into the skin, revitalising it and reversing the visible signs of ageing. Peptides smooth out fine lines, while Carnosine energises and firms. Vitamin C brightens the complexion and defends against oxidative stress, while Swiss garden cress lightens and evens out skin tone.
Independent clinical trials prove the mask significantly reduces wrinkles and fine lines in just 28 days while leaving skin firmer, more hydrated and elastic, and more resilient against climate, pollution and stress.
The RESULT
The Stem Cell Sleeping Mask works proficiently to soothe and heal even sensitive, inflamed or acne-prone skin. While it targets fine lines and wrinkles, the lightweight, non-greasy, gel-like formula makes it versatile enough to apply under the eyes as an effective depuffing treatment. Whether it be a long-haul flight skin fix or your nightly sleep ritual, the mask will help you wake up to glowing skin.
A reminder: seek a professional skin care consultation for personalised advice, ensuring your journey to radiant, vibrant skin aligns with your needs.
