When the weather cools down, the air in many parts of South Africa gets drier. This can impact your skin and leave it feeling more parched than usual. By adding overnight masks as the last step in your skincare routine, you can give your complexion the extra hydration it needs to look and feel its best. Here is a selection to choose from that will have you waking up glowing.
