Lately, my bedside has amassed a small stockpile of
beauty products. What once was a humble duo of lip balm and hand
cream now looks like four sleeping masks, a teeth whitening pen,
hair treatments and pimple patches – all of which are designed to
make one more beautiful while they snooze. Call it multitasking,
call it beauty sleep, call it pure genius. Whatever it is, we’re
here for it. See all the best new overnight beauty treatments
below.

Dr Lewinn’s Recoverederm
Intensive Overnight Barrier Repair Balm, $75. SHOP NOW
This is essentially a night cream on steroids – a
heavenly balm that glides over skin, soothing and hydrating all at
once. It’s rich in probiotics and ceramides to help protect and
reinforce the skin barrier, meaning your face will be more
resilient to stress and less red/angry/blotchy. Bonus points for
the cooling effect and quick absorption.
This gloriously rich, buttery balm is the perfect
bedtime accompaniment. The gel-oil texture is full of Japanese
peach, camellia oil and rose-derived squalane for soft, hydrated,
pillowy lips on waking.

ZitSticka Killa,
$40. SHOP NOW
Eliminate any blemish in eight hours with these tiny
micro-needle patches. The little spikes are actually made up of
ingredients like niacinamide, salicylic acid and tea tree, and when
pressed onto a blemish they actually get right in there and speed
up healing. The surrounding “sticker” keeps it clean and safe.
Press gently onto clean dry skin and marvel at the improvement when
you rise and shine the following morning.


Dermalogica Retinol
Clearing Oil, $132. Shop now
This skincare/overnight treatment hybrid is designed
for acne-prone skin. It’s an interesting mix of antibacterial
jojoba oil, time-released retinol and salicylic acid to
simultaneously speed up skin cell turn over and dissolve excess
sebum and pore-clogging bacteria without drying things out. Easiest
clarifying treatment ever.
111skin Meso Infusion Overnight Micro
Mask, $208. SHOP NOW
111skin Meso Infusion Overnight Micro
Mask, $208. SHOP NOWThese micro-dart patches are the perfect at-home
treatment the night before a special occasion. They are fitted with
150 “micro cones” that contain pure hyaluronic acid and vitamin c,
and when pressed onto the skin, they gently transport said
ingredients into the deeper layers of the dermis. Designed to be
worn overnight, they work a treat anywhere that you feel needs
plumping – like under the eyes, on the crow’s feet, frown lines or
nasolabial folds. The effects are short-lived, but
incredible.

Colgate Optic White
Overnight Teeth Whitening Treatment, $35. SHOP NOW
Teeth whitening is often messy and annoying but this
overnight pen from Colgate has changed that. You simply paint the
pen over teeth after brushing and hit the sack. It’s a
non-sensitizing peroxide formula that will deliver on its promise
of subtle brightening over time.

Syrene Skin Aqua
Hydrating masque, $107. shop now
Syrene is a new brand hailing from New Zealand that
recently launched in Mecca. This nourishing mask in particular is
like a thick, clear gel that melts into skin promptly (so you won’t
mess up your sheets) and hydrates incredibly well thanks to a huge
dose of glycerin, seaweed and Manuka honey. Try it if your skin is
feeling tight, stressed or less-than-shiny.

Innisfree Brightening
Pore Sleeping Mask, $34. SHOP NOW
This sleep mask is light and fresh so won’t weigh
down skin prone to shine (unlike other overnight options that can
feel buttery – great for dry folk, not so much everyone else). The
hero ingredient is Jeju Hallabong peel extract – a citrus fruit
that contains actives proven to brighten. Use it as the last step
in your evening skincare routine a few nights a week, really
massaging in to burst the “capsules” suspended within the
product.

Laneige Cica Sleeping
Mask, $48. SHOP NOW
A saving grace for red, angry or irritated skin,
this mask is based on the concept of cica cream and uses Forest
Yeast to heal and repair the skin barrier while you sleep.
Hypoallergenic and really nourishing, it will calm redness and
soften a flaky, tight or winter-damaged complexion. It’s very rich
though, so use sparingly at least an hour before you hit the sheets
(or, put a towel down – no one wants slick linen pillow
cases).

Fresh Rose Deep
Hydration Sleeping Mask, $78. SHOP NOW
This dual-phase option contains an essence to infuse
moisture (made up of rose water and hyaluronic acid) and a creamy
mask to sit atop and lock all the good stuff in, thus preventing
moisture loss overnight. Try it refrigerated for a mini facial
before bed.

Slip Pure Silk Turban,
$95. SHOP NOW
Anyone who feels personally victimized by frizz,
breakage or squashed curls when they wake up needs to try a silk
hair wrap. They protect hair prone to breakage (very real when
tossing and turning all night) eliminate contact frizz and soften
the effects of movement on curls, whether natural, textured or
heat-treated. While not for everyone, if you find sleep adds to the
weight of your styling routine, we highly recommend.

Betterbare SleepyBare
Gummies, $60. SHOP NOW
Formulated with lemon balm, tart cherry, Manuka
honey and magnesium, these gummies help to promote restful sleep
and a general sense of calm come bedtime. Try them with a cup of
chamomile tea every night for the perfect wind-down routine (they
also taste delicious).
