Nighttime beauty treatments can be very effective in keeping your hair, skin and eyes fresh and beautiful. You can try different products, both store-bought and natural. For example, you can make a mask to combat dark circles and prevent wrinkles, strengthen hair, treat eyes and lips.
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Night Face Masks
Step 1. Before going to bed, apply a salicylic acid serum
If you have acne-prone skin, this product can help you fight impurities. In fact, it will prevent the sebum from clogging the pores and favor the exfoliation of the skin during the night.
- Go to the pharmacy and buy a salicylic acid-based acne serum.
- After washing your face as usual, apply a thin layer of serum to your face. Leave it on overnight and you will see that you will have less impurities.
Step 2. Try making a moisturizing mask that you can leave on overnight
When you sleep, your face rubs against pillows and blankets. This can dehydrate the skin and negatively affect the overall appearance of the face. Try applying a moisturizing mask to protect your skin before going to bed.
- Purchase a moisturizing gel mask from a perfumery or drugstore.
- Before going to bed, apply the product abundantly on the face, carefully avoiding the area around the eyes.
- This mask is most effective when you sleep on your back.
Step 3. Use a face oil before bed
You can find it in perfumery or pharmacy. It will help you moisturize your skin overnight, preventing it from looking dry and dull in the morning.
- You don't have to use a lot of it. Just apply a few drops on your face.
- If you live in a fairly dry climate, try supplementing the oil with a humidifier.
Step 4. Invest in a hyaluronic acid and peptide night cream
At night the skin tends to wrinkle due to friction with pillows and blankets. To counter this, use a face cream. Those with hyaluronic acid and peptides can prevent wrinkles, so look for a product that contains these ingredients.
Apply it to parts of the face that tend to wrinkle at night, such as cheeks, around the eyes and around the mouth
Step 5. Look for products that rejuvenate and repair the skin
When you sleep, the skin and body regenerate, so it is good to feed them with products that stimulate this process.
- Go to a perfumery or grocery store to look for products that help repair and rejuvenate your skin. Usually, they should be applied 5-10 minutes before going to bed, after washing the face.
- To enhance its effectiveness, try to sleep between 11pm and 4am. It is at these times that the skin is most likely to regenerate.
Step 6. Use rose water for dark circles
You can buy it online or in perfumery. If dark circles are your concern, this product can help you find a solution. Before going to bed, soak a cotton ball and apply it to dark circles for 10-15 minutes. Repeat the treatment every evening.
Method 2 of 3: Hair Treatments
Step 1. Use coconut oil
It can help moisturize your hair, but also make it look healthier and shinier in the morning. If they tend to be dry, invest in a coconut oil mask.
- When applying, start at the tips and work your way up to the scalp.
- Before applying coconut oil to your hair, read the instructions on the package to know the right doses. The amount varies according to your hair type and length.
Step 2. Use dry shampoo before bed
It can help fight the sweat that is secreted from the body at night, which can make your hair oily. Before going to sleep, dab some dry shampoo on your scalp with a makeup sponge. That way, they won't be greasy in the morning.
Step 3. Make a coconut and honey mask
Mix equal parts and voila: you will have a rejuvenating and moisturizing treatment. Apply it to your hair just before going to bed. The next morning, rinse them off in the shower.
Protect the pillow with a towel to avoid getting dirty
Step 4. Let your hair curl overnight rather than using electric tools
If you like waves and curls, don't iron in the morning - it can dehydrate and damage your hair. Instead, invest in a pack of curlers to use while you sleep.
- You can buy them at the supermarket or perfumery.
- If you don't plan on buying them, you can also wrap your hair around a headband and let it curl overnight.
Step 5. Get a night treatment that deeply nourishes your hair
Nourishing products are most effective when left on for longer. Try applying one before bed, then pull your hair up in a bun or braid. This way the product will penetrate better. Rinse it off the next morning.
Method 3 of 3: Treating Eyes and Lips
Step 1. Use a gel eye contour to prevent any puffiness
If you wake up with puffy eyes, a gel can help. Apply it before going to bed. In the area around the eyes, gels tend to be more effective than oils. In fact, an oil can get into the eyes, causing them to swell even more.
If the swelling is due to an allergy or a cold, you should also take a decongestant before going to bed
Step 2. Look for a ceramide-based night lip treatment
Ceramides are lipid molecules that protect the skin. If your lips tend to dry out at night, choose a gel containing this active ingredient. Apply a large dose before going to bed. In the morning you will have soft and hydrated lips.
Step 3. Try castor oil for eyelashes
Apply a drop before going to sleep with the help of a cotton swab. Leave it on overnight. It can thicken and soften lashes.
