In the realm of beauty, the night holds immense potential for rejuvenation and repair. From skin-soothing sleep masks to nourishing hair masks and even restorative foot treatments, overnight beauty products can boost your routine from head to toe.
As board-certified dermatologist Dr. Ashley Magovern of Manhattan Dermatology in Manhattan Beach, California, says, “The skin is connected to all the other cells in our body, and they know what to do at night. It’s important to have a nighttime routine so that your skin cells (and all your cells) maintain their routine and daily cycle.
“What’s great about overnight beauty treatments is that you can mix and match targeted products to address your specific hair or skin care needs based on your [body’s] ever-changing concerns,” she continues, adding that overnight beauty products work seamlessly with no added time to your daily routine — all while gaining maximum results.

Overnight skin care
In addition to a typical nighttime skin care routine, there are plenty of treatments and face masks that can enhance skin overnight. According to Shamara Bondaroff, celebrity esthetician and founder of SB Skin, these nighttime products typically focus on hydration but can also target specific concerns such as signs of aging, pigmentation and acne.
“While you’re sleeping, your body and skin have the chance to relax, detox, regenerate and recover,” Magovern says. “Using these kinds of products overnight as the body and skin cells repair themselves assist you in maintaining a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.”
And if you’re worried about getting a face mask on your sheets, the experts recommended waiting a while for the product to dry and set a bit before going to bed.
With flavors like Gummy Bear and the limited-edition Cotton Candy, this fan-favorite lip sleeping mask is truly a treat. It feels silky smooth and helps hydrate and soften the lips overnight.
