Keep your skin, lips, nails and hair healthy while you catch your z's.
Night owls and early risers will agree: Nighttime is the perfect time to pamper your skin and give it the attention it deserves. After all, the term “beauty sleep” exists for a reason.
Without the distractions of your busy day, you can take your time and apply your go-to evening beauty products that nourish and rejuvenate your skin, lips, hair and body while you sleep. Incorporating a few key evening items into your p.m. routine will leave you with a healthy, radiant complexion and hair in the morning.

A rich cream is essential for moisture for your skin while you sleep. We love Charlotte Tilbury Magic Night Moisturizer, which includes time-released retinol in a rich cream base to rejuvenate your skin overnight.
Night serums are formulated with active ingredients that can penetrate deeper into your skin and work while you sleep to repair and regenerate the skin. Some common active ingredients found in night time serums include retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids, and peptides. These ingredients can help improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and uneven skin tone, as well as promote a more radiant and youthful-looking complexion.
It can take several weeks —or even months— of consistent use to see the full benefits of a night serum, as your skin’s repair and regenerative processes take time. A few to try: L’Oreal Paris Age Perfect Cell Renewal Midnight Hydrating Serum, Peter Thomas Roth Retinol Fusion PM Night Serum, Farmacy Honeymoon Glow Night Serum and Shani Darden Retinol Reform Treatment Serum.
Especially during the dry winter months, face oils can be a great addition to your skincare regimen. They help nourish and repair your skin. Look for oils with ingredients like vitamin E, rosehip oil, and argan oil to help improve the appearance of fine lines and scars. We like Pai Rosehip Bioregenerate and No7 Youthful Replenishing Facial Oil.
Lip care is skin care. Use a nourishing lip balm to hydrate and smooth your lips while preventing dryness and cracking. Look for one with ingredients like beeswax, shea butter, and coconut oil. We love LaNeige Lip Sleeping Mask and Clean and Pure Manuka Honey Lip Balm.
The delicate skin around your eyes is prone to dryness and fine lines — so you definitely want to give it some extra TLC at night. An eye cream with ingredients like caffeine, retinol, and vitamin C can help to reduce the appearance of dark circles and puffiness. One to try: Replenix Tinted Brightening Eye Cream.
A nail oil will keep your cuticles and nails moisturized and healthy when you use one nightly. We love apricot oil, especially Essie On A Roll Apricot Cuticle Oil.
Your hair deserves some love at night, too! A deep-conditioning hair mask helps nourish and repair hair damage while you snooze. Look for one with ingredients like keratin, argan oil, and avocado oil to help improve the strength and shine of your hair. We recommend Amika Dream Routine Overnight Hydrating Hair Mask.
