5 beauty products that work while you sleep
With the festive party season over for another year, you’ll probably be banking on a few early nights to catch up on lost sleep.

And if you want to wake up looking effortlessly gorgeous, why not invest in some products that will beautify you as you doze.

From eye serums to skin regeneration creams, there are countless products designed to do their hard work while you rest.

Here are some to try:

Eyes:
Banish those telltale dark circles by applying a cooling eye cream before you get into bed. With a blend of Vitamin E and caffeine, Kiehl’s Eye Alert is a cooling gel, enriched with cucumber and alfalfa extracts. Perfect for giving you a bright-eyed January lift.

Hair:
If your tresses are feeling the after effects of too much styling, it’s well worth investing in a rich hair repair. Frédéric Fekkai Ageless Overnight Hair Repair absorbs instantly into your locks, without leaving residue on your pillow. Enriched with edelweiss, it’s super-moisturising and works to protect your hair from the inevitably harsh effects of New Year weather.

Skin:
Night creams aren’t exactly a new innovation but they are one of the most effective ways to overhaul your complexion. Why not try Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Premiere Intense Moisture and Renewal Overnight Regeneration Cream which is a gorgeously rich cream that uses skin-replenishing ceramides, nutrient-rich sea minerals and retinols to support the skin’s own natural collagen.

Lips:
If your pout has been sporting this season’s bold matte lipsticks, you might want to treat your lips to an overnight replenishing treat. Rich in aloe vera and vitamin E and A, ChapStick Overnight Lip Treatment nourishes and conditions lips.

Body:
Nourish your tired body with an overnight cream, such as Clarins Toning Body Balm which uses apple pip oil to protect and moisturises your skin. It’s also enriched with ginseng extract to tone, firm and revitalise. Meanwhile, a concoction of mint, rosemary, rosewood and geranium works to refresh and energise the skin. © Cover Media
