Sleep is touted as being one of the best beauty aids there is and skin care mavens never tire of raving about the goodness an eight hour sleep brings. Adding a few well-chosen products to that natural goodness cant hurt, and we put together a list of the ones you need to stock up on. Get started to get glowing every morning
Face: During the day the skin on your face is constantly exposed to free radicals that work extra time in aiding the aging process as do exposure to sunlight and pollutants. At night while you sleep your skin is busy repairing itself and generating new cells to replace the old tired ones. This is also when skin is most receptive to nutrients, so indulge it with rich hydrating night creams and nourishing serums. Vogue.in recommends Chanel Ultra Correction Line Repair Anti Wrinkle Night Cream and Comfort Zone Renight Recover Cream.
Eyes : Well rested eyes are the key to a radiant looking you so make sure you pat on an eye cream before you hit the sack. Look for plumping formulas in your eye creams so you wake up to relaxed skin and no visible fine lines. For our eyes we love Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Synchronized Complex and Guerlain Super Aqua Eye Serum. And fussy as it sounds, it really does work to sleep on your back with your head slightly elevated to avoid any morning puffiness.
Hair : Its not all about your skin. A bad hair day can ruin a look faster than you can say "bad hair day," but you can escape it by treating your hair to a conditioning treatment while you sleep. Wash your hair and squeeze out excess water. Gently towel dry it and massage a overnight conditioner into your hair; it works by healing brittle ends and softens your hair cuticles. In other words - you wake up to soft, frizz-free hair. The Kerastase Noctogenist Voile Nuit Overnight Revitalizing Treatment is a great pick me up to help for dull hair that needs to be brought back to bouncing health. For the bargain beauty in you, try the Loreal Paris Elvive Total Repair Restoring Masque for some intense repairing of dry tresses.
Hands & Feet : Drench your feet with an ultra hydrating formula and pull a pair of cotton socks over for super soft feet the next morning. If the socks feel like too much work, use the cream and stick your feet under a cotton sheet. Last in your night time beauty routine are your hands that have helped you with all the above. Treat them to a relaxing massage with your favorite hand cream.
