10 OVER NIGHT’S BEAUTY SECRETS
Sleeping Beauty had the right idea…after all, who doesn’t
want to sleep for a hundred years and wake up looking flawless? Though the
story may be a fairytale, there’s still hope for those of us living in the 21st
century. Here are 10 overnight beauty tips that will help you
wake up with soft skin, bright eyes, perfect waves and
more. The best part? All of the magic happens while you slumber, giving a whole
new meaning to the term “
beauty sleep.”
1.) Soften
For a pampering overnight treatment, apply Vaseline to the soles of your feet
and put on socks before you sleep. The socks help bind the moisture to your
feet and you’ll wake up to soft, smooth soles. Now all you need is a pair of
strappy heels to show them off…
2.) De-puff
If you constantly wake up with puffy, swollen eyes, try this simple switch: Add
an extra pillow and sleep on your back. This will allow the fluids around your
eyes to drain easier and keep the puffiness to a minimum. And of course,
don’t forget your eye cream. Look for creams that list caffeine as one of the
ingredients—it will help keep fluids moving.
3.) Create waves
To wake up with perfect waves, simply shower at night and style your hair
before bed. Allow your strands to air dry until they’re damp, and run some
light styling crème through with your fingers. Depending on your hair type and
what kind of waves you prefer, you can either sleep in braids or twist your
hair into buns. Don’t be afraid to experiment! Bed head has never
looked so good.
4.) Moisturize
Ladies with
dry skin, take note: A humidifier might just change your skin
forever. Turn one on before you sleep (this works best during colder months
when the air is drier) and let it work its magic. It instills the air with
moisture, which in turn helps plump your skin and keep it hydrated.
5.) Prevent wrinkles
Sleeping on a cotton pillowcase can cause creases on your skin and create wrinkles.
Instead, pamper yourself by investing in a silk or satin one. It will lessen
the pressure on your skin and help prevent
hair breakage.
6.) Whiten teeth
For an easy DIY whitening treatment, try brushing some baking soda to your
pearly whites right before bed. Leave the mixture on for 5-6 minutes and make
sure to rinse thoroughly afterwards. This is a perfect PM beauty treatment
because in the waking hours, you would normally have to wait about 50 minutes
before eating or drinking anything afterwards. Just make sure you are only
doing this once a week; any more, and the acid in baking soda can wear down
your tooth enamel.
7.) Brighten
It’s best to apply any face products that have brightening ingredients like
retinol and vitamin C in them at night. Sunlight can actually deactivate them
and prevent them from working to their fullest potential.
8.) Lengthen lashes
Give your fluttery fringe some loving with a DIY lash lengthening treatment.
The secret ingredient? Castor oil. This natural oil is rich in super-hydrating
omega-6 fatty acids, which help moisturize your lashes and prevent breakage.
Using a clean spoolie,
gently brush the castor oil through your lashes each night. In the morning,
just rinse with warm water and wash your face as usual. You should notice
healthier lashes in just a few weeks!
9.) Repair
Smooth a leave-in conditioner into your locks before you snooze to wake up to
shiny, soft strands. Applying it in the evening gives treatment more time to
penetrate into your hair cuticles for optimum moisture. (For a great natural
alternative, try coconut oil.)
10.) Smooth
Nail beds looking dry? Apply cuticle cream or oil before you sleep and slip on
gloves afterwards. You’ll wake up to healthy, hydrated nail beds. Now you just
have to decide on the perfect polish color!
