How This Overnight Mask Became My Daily Night Cream

February 08, 2019/ Lorna Soonhee Umphrey

It’s cold. I know it’s the winter time but here in LA, it’s stinking cold for us. And to add to that, we’re now having to spark up those heaters in our house that are rather foreign to us and putting them on full blast which inevitably dries up our desert air even more. This equals zero moisture in the air unless you get a humidifier (can we say that I just added that to my amazon cart?) which has forced me to up my skincare game even more. I was in the market for a night cream as I felt like I needed some extra-ness during my beauty sleep as I strive for those deep 8 hours of slumber. Enter, the Youth To The People Superberry Hydrate + Glow Dream Mask ($48) who came to my rescue.

But when I found this line, I knew I hit gold.
