How To Get Better Skin While You Sleep

Valentine NYC

 

We all dream of rolling out of bed looking fresh faced and beautiful. However, the unfortunate reality is that waking up for that 6.30am alarm is a total struggle, and leaves our skin looking far more ‘pillow face’ than ‘plump and radiant’. Make mornings easier by following our tips to getting all the hard work done at night, so you wake up looking gorgeous every day!

For glowing dewy skin

What: If you want to use less makeup in the morning, give your skin an overnight workout by incorporating a product that enhances your skin’s natural renewal process to promote a glowing, morning complexion.

SKII Facial Treatment Essence $99

How: SKII’s Facial Treatment Essence uses amino acids, vitamins and minerals to transform the skin overnight. This is one of those products with an instant effect, and with everyday use, I’m amazed at how smooth, hydrated and glowy my skin looks the next day!

Combat oily skin

What: Do you struggle with oily skin in the morning? Hydration is pretty much the key to great skin. When skin gets dry, it produces more natural oils to compensate. This is what can lead to oiliness, acne and blocked pores.

Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask $32 (save 10% with code: wknd)

How: The Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask is a serious dose of moisture for your skin. The rich formula feels instantly nourishing and sinks in like a dream, revealing radiant skin come morning. This one also smells totally amazing, just like peaches!

Rid yourself of dull skin

What: Dull skin makes you feel like you need an extra dewy foundation in the mornings, but you can combat this with a serum! Your serum should be the most hard working, potent product in your routine. I like to have a couple on rotation that I can switch between depending on how my skin is feeling that day.

Sunday Riley’s Good Genes Treatment $105

How: Sunday Riley’s Good Genes is an overnight miracle worker, pepping up dull skin using lactic acid.

Beat those spots!

What: It’s typical that the night before a big event, a huge blemish with rear it’s ugly head. I like to use an overnight spot treatment to diminish the majority of the redness and swelling, making your cover up job far easier in the morning.

 

Mario Badescu Drying Lotion $17

How: Mario Badescu’s Drying Lotion is the best of the bunch. It contains a blend of chamomile and salicylic acid and I swear has made some of my spots almost totally disappear overnight!

Contour overnight

What: Yes really, if you want to wake up with defined cheekbones you should try an overnight facial massage that will drain fluid from your face and give you more definition to areas of your face like your jaw and your cheekbones.

Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream $160

 

How: Grab your favorite moisturizer, I love Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream for facial massages as it’s thick, smells amazing and promotes elasticity and firmness. Next, you need to follow a good facial massage, at the moment my favorite one is by Suqqu. Check out the instructions here, activate your massage and get ready to wake up beautiful!
