Sleeping Mask Formulation for Clear and Bright Skin
Question
I would like a formulation for a Sleeping Mask. Could you provide some recommendations?
The goal is to use the mask overnight and wake up with clear and bright skin.
Answer
Sleeping Mask Formulation for Clear and Bright Skin
A sleeping mask is a type of facial mask designed to be applied before bed and left on overnight without rinsing. This allows the nourishing ingredients to fully penetrate the skin while we sleep, which is the optimal time for skin recovery. Using a sleeping mask helps the skin appear plump, moisturized, and brighter upon waking.
To create a sleeping mask aimed at achieving "หน้าใส" (clear/bright skin), you can start by using a ready-made mask base and then adding active ingredients that focus on skin brightening.
Recommended Mask Bases
You can choose a sleeping mask base with a texture similar to popular products for a familiar and easy-to-use feel, such as:
- Water Sleeping Mask Base (compare to Laneige): A lightweight gel base that absorbs easily and provides good hydration, suitable for all skin types.
- Cica Sleeping Mask Base (compare to Laneige): A cream base containing ingredients that help soothe the skin and reduce irritation, suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin.
These mask bases are formulated to be easily customized by adding various active ingredients.
Active Ingredients for Brightening Skin
Select active ingredients that help reduce dark spots, even out skin tone, or enhance skin radiance. You can use them individually or combine them as needed:
- Yeast Radiance™: A protein extracted from yeast that helps the skin appear naturally brighter and more radiant, without causing the skin to look pale like some direct whitening agents. It is suitable for all skin types.
- Pep®-Radiance (Nonapeptide-1): A highly concentrated peptide that inhibits melanin synthesis, leading to brighter skin. It also helps improve blood circulation under the skin, which may help reduce dark circles under the eyes.
- MelaninTerminate™: A protein extracted from deep-sea pearls. It works through a different mechanism than other whitening agents by blocking the endothelin receptor, preventing melanin formation. Continuous use shows noticeably clearer skin.
Adding these active ingredients to the mask base according to their recommended usage rates will help enhance the effectiveness of your sleeping mask in achieving clearer and brighter skin.
