Product review: My regular night regime with Laneige Water Sleeping Mask and Lip Sleeping Mask

To fans of Laneige’s Water Sleeping Pack EX, you will definitely be delighted to know that the  new Water Sleeping Pack Mask does more than just moisturizing and brightening; it also offers you deep sleep. It works to restore and repair your damaged skin cells, offers deep moisturizing with continuous moisture being supplied to the skin and helps you to go into deep sleep for longer hours. These are all key factors in ensuring your skin stays youthful and rejuvenated.

      

Lack of sleep can affect your skin condition. In a skin research by Sleep Care Expert with 224 Asian women, it was revealed that skin moisture, texture (dead skin), clarity, radiance, and pore-related skin indicators decreased correspondingly when you do not have enough sleep. Clinical research has also shown that our skin feels drier, rougher, looks dull and lackluster when we are sleep deprived, even if just for one night.

This is because during the night, when we rest, the skin takes the time to restores and repairs itself from damage inflicted by various external aggressors during the day. And if and when the skin is restored to its optimal condition overnight, it is then better able to protect itself from the external environment the following day. Studies have shown that when we sleep at night, our skin’s permeability increases. That is why it is more effective in absorbing active ingredients. But it is because of this, it also means that our skin loses moisture at a higher rate at night. That is why our skin needs a solution that not only affects the absorption of active ingredients but can also replenish and lock-in moisture

After 15 years of research on the sleeping pack, the all-new Water Sleeping Mask is now developed as a significant upgrade from its predecessor, the Water Sleeping Pack EX. It was also selected as a World Class Product of Korea in 2014 by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy.

1. SLEEP-TOX™ Purification Technology leaves the skin clear and revitalized.

Laneige has found that during sleep, there is a ‘golden time’ to boost the detoxification and purification functions in the skin. SLEEP-TOX™ activates the purification genes with Hunza Apricot and Evening Primrose extracts to normalize fatigue skin affected by daytime stress and restore the skin to its optimal condition overnight. 

2. MOISTURE WRAP™ acts like a porous moisture film that locks-in moisture through the night.

Laneige’s exclusive technology boosts skin’s absorption of effective ingredients such as Hydro Ion Mineral Water, Evening Primrose Extract and Hunza Apricot Extract, which are stabilized within the dense beta-glucan mineral network. 

Rich with moisture, it forms a porous moisture film that locks in moisture through the night. 

Besides providing the skin with moisture and keeping it locked in, MOISTURE WRAP™ also works to keep the effective ingredients of SLEEP-TOX™ stabilized within its network, continuously delivering them into the skin for 8 hours throughout the night.

3. SLEEPSCENT™ relaxes your mind and helps your body to go into deep sleep.

SLEEPSCENT™ contains natural fragrances from ingredients such as Orange Fruit Flower, Rose, Ylang Ylang and Sandalwood oil  It also bears aroma-therapeutic properties to help relax the mind and body, promoting a deep and peaceful slumber.

Created with a patented fragrance exclusively for Laneige's Water Sleeping Mask, SLEEPSCENT™ strengthens the skin’s regenerative ability by improving the quality of sleep by prolonging the REM3 and 4 stage, which are stages that denote deep sleep, hence reducing body movements during sleep. Moreover, its soothing and mild formula truly assists to reduce skin redness the next morning. Its formula is also non-irritating, mild, safe and gentle on the skin throughout the night.

   

After having the priviledge to use Laneige Water Sleeping Mask for a month, it has became something I cannot do without. The mask is pleasant to smell, and it is a non greasy gel texture which absorb quickly by my skin. I get to wake up to a much better skin every morning now. And where I used to have dehydrated skin, I find my skin is much better hydrated now and softer to touch. 

And that is why I insist that Laneige Water Sleeping Mask is definitely my top 10 favorite skin care !!

The all-new Laneige Water Sleeping Mask, is retailing at RM110 (70ml)  at all Laneige boutiques and beauty counters starting May 2015.

Laneige also introduces the All-New Lip Sleeping Mask. Formulated to provide your lips with a special intensive care, it gently erases dry, flaky skin on the lips through the night to realize smooth and supple lips the next morning!

The Lip Sleeping Mask is made of a balm-like, sticky texture with a sweet and fruity berry fragrance. On top of its sweet and relaxing fragrance, the Lip Sleeping Mask has been carefully formulated to give your lips with amazing benefits.

1. Berry Mix™ Complex
Berry Mix Complex™ is made up of 8 different  types of antioxidant-rich berries. They are raspberry, strawberry, cranberry, blueberry, gojiberry, soapberry, cloudberry and coffee berry (So many types of berries... right...). 

Packed in Vitamin C and antioxidants, this berry mix extracts soothes your dry and chapped lips, making them soft and smooth again.

Raspberry is rich in ellagic acid, polyphenols, and Vitamin C.

 Termed as a ‘super antioxidant fruit’  Blueberries contain the most anthocyanins as compared to other fruits and vegetables. 

Cranberries on the other hand is abundant with polyphenols to provide antioxidant and anti-ageing effects. 

Last but not least, Strawberries contain an abundance of Vitamin C.

The berries are extracted though super-high pressure to preserve the antioxidant properties of the berry extracts. 

Antioxidants are vital to counter the oxidative actions of free radicals. It slows down the body’s aging process, prevents damage caused by free radicals and protects the body from diseases.


2. Super-High Pressure Technology
This super-high pressure extraction technology was used in the extraction of antioxidants from 8 types of berries to produce a highly concentrated antioxidant extract that can be absorbed swiftly into the skin.

The technology used in the formulation of the Lip Sleeping Mask involves super-high pressure of 1000 ATM, 100MPa to perform extraction using water as a  medium at room temperature. 

In this process termed hydrothermal extraction, water is infiltrated into the plant cells to extract super-low molecular effective ingredients.

Hydrothermal extraction reduces the destruction of nutrients extracted at room temperature level, enables larger quantities of low molecular weight amino acid and peptides to be extracted, preserves the natural colour of the berries and lastly, reduces the change in smell. 

During the super-high pressure extraction mechanism, cell walls are broken down using super-high pressure to increase the amount of beneficial substances released from within the cells.

3. MOISTURE WRAP™ Technology

Similar to the Water Sleeping Mask, the all-new Lip Sleeping Mask has also been formulated with MOISTURE WRAP™ technology. MOISTURE WRAP™ is an exclusive technology by Laneige whereby dense Hyaluronic Acid mineral network holding abundant moisture, forms a moisturizing film over the skin surface like a wrap. 

This locks in active ingredients to help the skin absorb and retain moisture through the night. Upon application of the Lip Sleeping Mask, lip purifying ingredients stabilized within the moisture-rich MOISTURE-WRAP™ network are continuously delivered into the lips for 8 hours through the night.

   How to Use :

1.Before heading to bed, just apply a layer of Lip Sleeping Mask on your lips with the spatula.

2.Dead, flaky cells are melted and erased during the night and your lips are infused with abundant moisture.

3.Wipe off with tissue or cotton pad in the morning.

4.You will have  achieved a much smoother and suppler lips in that one night!

I swear by this as well as whenever I feel my lips are getting dry, I do this  which is twice a week or so and the very next day, my lips are just perfectly smooth and nice...
