What Are Caffeine Sleeping Masks And What Do They Do?

Introduction: What are caffeine sleeping masks?

Caffeine sleeping masks are a new trend in the beauty industry. They are used to help people have better sleep, by reducing the time it takes to fall asleep and by improving the quality of sleep whilst doing wonders for your skin in the process.

The caffeine in the masks is absorbed through the skin without causing any side effects or discomfort. It’s also claimed to help with anxiety, depression, and fatigue upon awakening.

The effects of caffeine on sleep are claimed to be well-documented and this is why so many people use it as a sleep aid in recent years.

This is surprising to most as caffeine when consumed prior to sleep has an adverse effect on keeping you awake.

Benefits of Using Caffeine Sleeping Masks and Lotions

A caffeinated sleeping mask is a cream that you can use to help you fall asleep faster and achieve more restful sleep. It works by applying caffeine to your skin and then allowing it to absorb into your body. The science behind them claims it will help you get the best night’s sleep possible, without the side effects of drinking coffee as they help replenish your skin, and therefore you feel more relaxed.

Benefits of using these products include not feeling groggy in the morning, waking up feeling well-rested, and the skin feeling revitalised and nourished.

How to Apply Caffeine Sleeping Masks?

Different parts of the body need different types of care. The face is delicate and needs more attention than other parts of the body. It needs a dedicated caffeine night cream that is light and non-oily in texture so that it does not clog pores or saturate your bedding.

For maximum results, the neck, chest, hands and feet also need moisturising creams that are specifically designed for these areas.

Due to its proximity to the face, it is important to apply a caffeine night cream on the neck as well. The skin in this area tends to be dryer than other areas because it doesn’t have any oil glands or sweat glands.

Applying a caffeine night cream will help keep your skin supple and soft even after you wash your face in the morning. Helping you feel refreshed and having positive effects on pigmentation and reduced inflammation in the skin.

Lastly, you should use a dedicated moisturiser on your hands. The caffeine in these products helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the skin. Caffeine is also an antioxidant that fights against free radicals that cause premature ageing.

The Science Behind Caffeine Sleeping Masks and Why They Are Effective

Caffeine is a stimulant, which means it will keep you awake. That’s why it’s not advised to drink coffee before bed. But that doesn’t mean you can’t use it for your beauty routine!

A caffeine sleeping mask is a product that contains caffeine in a gel, serum or cream form and is applied to the skin before bed. The caffeine will then absorb into the skin and begin nourishing the skin while you sleep. When used over a longer period of time, studies show increased energy levels in the morning upon awakening.

The science behind this product is that when your body detects an increase in blood pressure and heart rate, it interprets this as a sign of stress and responds by releasing hormones like adrenaline and cortisol, which are responsible for increasing alertness levels. Caffeine has been shown to block these.

Should I Use a Coffee Facial Exfoliator?

Coffee exfoliating face scrub is one of the newest trends in beauty products, too. It is a great way to fight acne and reduce wrinkles with the help of coffee’s caffeine. It also revitalises your skin with its antioxidants and helps it stay healthy.

Market-leading facial scrubs are made from coffee grounds, sea salts and natural oils, which are mixed together to form a paste that you wash off after 5-10 minutes. The coffee beans contain antioxidants that will rejuvenate your skin, while the natural oils will moisturise it.

Using a caffeine-based exfoliator is something you should try and monitor the effects, yourself. Studies found over 60% of people felt like their skin felt smoother and less prone to clogged pours and oil buildup after using a facial scrub for 4 weeks.

How Often Do I Need To Use Caffeine Skin Treatments?

Using an exfoliator scrub can be quite harsh on sensitive skin so twice a week is sufficient enough if this is your skin type.

For normal to tough skin, use 3-4 times per week.

Using a caffeine-based night cream can be used daily before bed and generally treated like a normal, daily moisturiser when introduced to your regular routine.

Conclusion

Coffee/Caffeine based face masks and exfoliators are certainly becoming popular in the UK due to the knock-on effect circulating the health benefits of coffee when consumed in moderation.

Although it may be subjective to the individual the positive effects when used on the skin, studies show significant numbers acknowledging improvements to their skin’s look and feel across different demographics.

Whether you are looking to clear up acne, improve smoothness or reduce fatigue, it’s worth giving these products a go as there are very few side effects (if any at all) when used in moderation.
