Beauty tips that work while you’re sleeping
You already know how important it is to get eight hours of rest each night, but with these tips your beauty sleep can be even more effective.
Eye cream – Invest in a good overnight eye cream to help reduce and prevent future fine lines while you sleep.
Braids – If you still have your long locks, after you shower, skip the routine blow-dry and tie your still-damp hair in a French braid. You’ll wake up with body and texture.
Gloves and socks – If your hands and feet have been feeling dry lately, apply a heavy-duty moisturiser or Vaseline thickly to your skin and cover with gloves and socks. Keep them on overnight and you’ll wake up to nourished, soft skin.
Buns – Before bed, tie your hair up in a loose bun. Not only will it add texture to your hair the next day, but it will keep your hair from absorbing as much of your body’s oils that are emitted while you sleep.
Retinol cream – Because retinol shouldn’t be used before direct sun exposure, bed time is the perfect the perfect time to apply this wrinkle-reducing, collagen encouraging miracle ingredient.
Silk pillows – If you haven’t invested in silk pillow cases yet, you might want to. Silk helps prevent wrinkles in the skin and keeps your hair from getting static or tangled as you sleep.
