Must-Have Overnight Beauty Products
Just because you’re hitting the hay doesn’t mean you should stop keeping your beauty imperfections at bay. These seven tested-and-true overnight beauty products will help you achieve sleeping beauty status in no time.
For Your Face
If you’re a nocturnal newbie when it comes to overnight beauty products, start with a moisture-rich face cream that includes vitamin C to boost radiance, lavender and aloe to calm skin, and orchid extract to seal in moisture. A little dab will dew you.
Live Clean Nourishing Night Cream, $20 at Shopper’s Drug Mart and Loblaws.
For Your Mature Skin
Let this serum do the heavy lifting while you catch your zzzs. Thanks to ferulic acid (an antioxidant), retinol (a wrinkle smoother) and niacinamide (a skin-barrier booster), you’ll wake up with younger-looking skin while barely lifting a finger.
Dr. Dennis Gross Ferulic + Retional Wrinkle Recovery Overnight Serum, $110 at sephora.ca.
For Your Nails
Craggy cuticles driving you crazy? Try a rich and aromatic butter that works on repairing both cuticles and nails while you get some shut-eye. Simply massage the cream over your nails a few minutes before bed and the product will do the rest.
Burt’s Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream, $8 at mass merchandisers.
For Your Hair
Wake up refreshed – or at least without bed-head. The amino acids found in this leave-in product keep strands smooth and soft, while time-released conditioners and antioxidants, such as rice extract, hydrate hair.
Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Night Cap Overnight Perfector, $37 at mass merchandisers.
For Your Body
Put an end to the itchy-and-scratchy show with a body cream that includes oatmeal and shea butter extract to quiet the noise of dry skin. Look for a fragrance-free, non-greasy formula so that you can stay focused on the task at hand: sweet dreams.
Aveeno Active Naturals Intense Relief Overnight Cream, $12 at mass merchandisers.
For Your Neck
Our thin-skinned necks and chests are susceptible to slackening and pigmentation, but key ingredients like harungana extract can improve density, while Montpellier rock-rose extract can promote an even skin tone.
Clarins Super Restorative Dècolletè And Neck Concentrate, $100 at sephora.ca.

Is your bedtime bliss disrupted by hot flashes? You may find relief from a cream that reduces skin temperature by several degrees thanks to an ingredient called Airlicium that helps dry up the humidity caused by hot flashes.
