Korean sleeping packs: how do they fit into a Japanese night routine?

Sleeping packs (sleeping masks) are a familiar part of Korean skincare: you apply them as the last step at night and sleep in them. With drier months ahead, here is how people commonly use them.

What are they?

• Gel or cream textures that you leave on overnight without rinsing
• Many people use them as the final "lid" on their routine
• Similar in role to Japanese night creams or overnight masks

A common order in a Japanese-style routine

1. Toner (keshōsui)
2. Serum (biyōeki)
3. Emulsion or cream (some skip this)
4. Sleeping pack

Points people often raise

• If layering with cream feels heavy, pick one or the other
• Apply thinly and evenly; a thick layer tends to end up on the pillow
• Some use it only on dry nights rather than every day
• If skin feels sticky the next morning, adjust with your morning cleanse

Things to watch

• When breakouts or irritation are a concern, many avoid heavy textures
• If skin problems continue, see a professional rather than guessing

Are you an every-night or an occasional sleeping-pack person?
