How to Make a DIY Overnight Hand Mask

Mix honey with oats or avocado, apply thick, cover with cotton gloves, sleep in it.

1. Choose your base. Honey works as your humectant base—it pulls moisture into skin and keeps it there. For extra nourishment, mash half an avocado or grind oats into the honey until you have a spreadable paste.
2. Apply generously. Slather the mixture on clean hands like you're frosting a cake. Don't be precious about it—your hands can handle more product than you think.
3. Lock it in. Pull on cotton gloves over the mask to prevent transfer to your sheets and create an occlusive barrier. The trapped heat and moisture will intensify the treatment while you sleep.
4. Morning rinse. Wash off with lukewarm water and pat dry. Follow immediately with your regular hand cream while skin is still slightly damp to seal in the benefits.
