Elemis Plumping Pillow Facial Review

How We Test Overnight Face Masks

We recruited over 1,000 women to test 46 overnight face mask brands, assessing their skins hydration levels, smoothness, feel and appearance in the morning. They also looked at how easy the product was to apply.

In the Good Housekeeping Institutebeauty lab we used our Multi Skin Test Centre to measure moisture levels with our hydration probe attachment. This gave us information on both immediate and long-term improvements in skins hydration levels after applying the mask.

What Is An Overnight Face Mask

An overnight face mask is, essentially, an intense night cream that gives a boost of hydration and smoothness. Our bodies go into repair mode when we slumber and applying the mask before this time allows your skin to reap the maximum benefits. Many of these masks are formulated to target specific concerns such as wrinkles, dull skin, or acne.

Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Sleeping Mask

Comparing these two sheds some light on the fact that if a company says sleeping mask, it can mean completely different things. While I see the main purpose of the Elemis version in locking in hydration through their emollients, the klairs version has the focus on hydration as well as brightening. klairs contains Niacinamide, one of my favorite ingredients, and some Vitamin E rather than plant extracts as antioxidants, while being similar in texture. If I had to pick one, I would probably go with klairs.

Fair To Middling For Me

Maybe I expected too much after reading other reviews. The scent took several nights to adjust to — at first it was so strong it kept me awake. Once you adapt, it’s not unpleasant. I prefer the scent of lavender at night, though. I couldn’t tell a big difference in the moisture or plumpness of my skin, but it does wash off easily in the morning. In fact, it seemed already either absorbed or wiped off by my pillow case, or a little of both. Overall, it is so costly that I’m on the fence about buying it again, but I intend to use it up, since it was an investment!

How To Use The Elemis Peptide4 Plumping Pillow Facial

Like all sleeping masks , this product is designed to be used as last step in your skincare routine. While using it throughout the day would be possible as well, the fact that is stays kind of tacky for at least ten minutes makes it not suitable for use under makeup. You cleanse your face, apply your serum and treatment and then, when you would reach for your moisturizer, apply the Pillow Facial instead. I recommend you wait at least ten minutes before you go to bed afterwards to not ruin your pillows.

How Do I Apply An Overnight Face Mask

Massage in a generous amount just before bed as the final step in your skincare routine in place of your night cream or moisturiser. Alternatively, use as a pampering treatment two-to-three times a week or whenever your skin needs some TLC. Most dont need to be washed off just follow your usual morning skincare routine and the cleansing step will naturally remove any residue.

A few humectants, but much more emollients as well as the signature Peptide4 blend, a mixture of hydrolyzed Yeast Protein and plant extracts that claim to increase hydration. Red flags for some might be the added fragrance as well as the potentially irritating components of essential oils. In my opinion this products is designed to lock in hydration and smooth the skin rather than hydrate the skin on its own.

Made A Difference After One Use

I really like this product after using it for several weeks. The sample really helped me decide to order the full size product. It’s very soothing to the skin and my face looks healthy and glowing after my morning cleansing. Just a small amount of product glides on my skin. It absorbs smoothly and moisturizers very nicely.
