Let your beauty products get to work as you sleep
As we get ready to turn the clocks back this weekend there is plenty of focus on beauty sleep and what better way to get the most from your sleep with products that work through the night.
Letting your beauty products get to work overnight is certainly a good way of waking up in a good mood, you’ll wake up not only feeling but looking refreshed and radiant and ready to take on the day.
Here are just some of our favourite overnight beauty products that we like to use to ensure we’re looking our best when we wake up.
Pure Super Grape Overnight Treatment Oil
We recently introduced you to the new range of skincare available at Marks and Spencer, and this treatment oil is definitely a standout product.
Apply before your head hits the pillow and you’ll awake to skin that glowing and plumped. Skin is neutralised to ensure its left smoother and brighter and intense nourishment and moisturisation keep everything soft and supple.
It’s an amazing product for the price. (£16 for 28ml available from Marks and Spencer)
Philip Kinglsey Elasticizer
An iconic product that was created over 40 years ago for Audrey Hepburn, and if it was good enough for her it’s definitely good enough for us. Whilst this isn’t traditionally used as an overnight product, we love the ease of applying it before bed time and waking up to wash it out in the morning for glossy locks that have dramatically improved in condition. To celebrate the 40th Anniversary, they have launched a limited edition kit made up of a 250ml pearlised pink tube and 100% cotton toweling wrap, encased in a luxury white gift box. It’s just too pretty to miss out on. (£46 www.philipkingsley.co.uk)
Arbonne Intelligence Genius
This product helps to regenerate skin cells and slough away those dead ones that only make for a dull and dreary complexion. The resurfacing pads are a little scratchy, so do take care when using them, but the solution on the pads is just too good to pass up. The solution is clically proven to improve skin moisture, elasticity and firmness as well as reducing the look of dark spots and fine lines, revealing skin that feel smooth, even toned and beautiful. This is one skincare product that we definitely don’t mind investing in. (£84 www.arbonneinternational.co.uk)
Clinique Moisture Surge Overnight Mask
If you’re after a little more intense hydration, then we recommend this Clinique mask to be used one or twice a week to give skin an added boost. Skin is especially vulnerable to moisture loss during night time hours when the barrier function is compromised, the Moisture Surge Overnight Mask is a penetrating formula that replenished skin with soothing, nourishing moisture that helps to strengthen the skins ability to lock in moisture. You’ll awake with skin that’s looking plumped and supple. Caffeine in the product helps to soothe and calm skin, perfect for those who suffer from redness. And a blend of anti-oxidants help to fight free radicals which are those nasties in the air that help increase the signs of ageing skin. (£29 from Clinique counters)
Dove Summer Glow
Whilst the sun maybe shining, whilst we’re in work we don’t have the time to soak up the rays and we need to fake that summer glow, our favourite gradual tanner, Dover Summer Glow. There’s no terrible, potent smell, it applies beautifully and nourishes the skin too, moore importantly it comes off naturally too – just give it a helping hand with gentle body exfoliation. (RRP £4.99 available from Boots, Superdrug, supermarkets etc.)
Scholl Velvet Smooth Night Mask
Give your feet a treat this weekend with the Scholl Velvet Smooth Night Mask (£7.99). With pro-vitamin B5 and vitamin E, this night mask stimulated cell regrowth for noticeable softer feet in 24 hours, so you’ll be waking up to super-soft fabulous feet. Just because it’s winter it doesn’t mean should we neglect our foot beauty routines.
E45 Repair & Protect Overnight Hand Cream
Apply the Repair & Protect Overnight Hand Cream (£3.99) from E45’s new hand cream range this weekend to boost your skin cell regeneration overnight. Specially formulated with vitamin B3, it helps repair the skin by enhancing skin cell’s regeneration as you sleep.
