These overnight beauty treatments take beauty sleep to a whole new level

It’s time to take your beauty sleep to the next level. Check out our favorite overnight beauty treatments that will give you a glowing complexion, silky-smooth hair, and soft, kissable lips.

We all know how important getting enough sleep is. Your body begins to repair itself overnight—from clearing out neural pathways to boosting your immune system to building back your muscles. But your skin also reboots while you sleep. While you snooze, your skin fights off the damage it was dealt throughout the day (think: UV rays and air pollution) to counteract signs of aging. Your skin cells regenerate, creating healthier, stronger skin. 

It makes sense then that it’s often referred to as “beauty sleep.” But getting enough sleep is critical for this to happen. Studies have found that people who get enough sleep (seven to nine hours) show fewer signs of aging, improved skin barrier function, and higher satisfaction with their appearance.

But you can take your beauty rest to the next level by applying overnight beauty treatments. Learn more about how to take advantage of the latest P.M. skincare and haircare products that work while you dream. 

What Are Overnight Beauty Treatments?

Overnight beauty treatments are exactly what they sound like: treatments you apply before bedtime that sink in while you sleep for better results. Not only are they convenient (simply apply them and go to bed), they also have some serious benefits. They can help speed up skin cell turnover for a firmer complexion. Plus, they can help replace any moisture lost throughout the night so your skin glows when you wake up. 

You may be wondering “Can I leave a hair mask on overnight?” or “Can I leave a face mask on overnight?” The answer is yes—as long as you do so thoughtfully. For example, if your face is prone to breakouts, you might not want to coat your skin in vaseline for hours on end. Similarly, you want to make sure you’re being careful with the overnight hair masks you use. Drenching your strands in coconut oil may hydrate them, but it could cause acne if it gets all over your pillowcase. However, there are lots of products that are specifically formulated to be left on overnight.

Still, if you’re worried about any breakouts or irritation from overnight hair masks, tie your strands up in a wrap to prevent the product from getting onto your face and body. And if you’re concerned about overnight face masks causing pimples, make sure you’re choosing products that are non-comedogenic (meaning they won’t clog your pores).

Why Should You Try an Overnight Beauty Treatment?

Increased Effectiveness 

The biggest benefit of applying an overnight beauty treatment (like an overnight hair mask or overnight face mask) is that it has hours and hours to sink in. “This is the longest amount of time that we usually get to keep products on our faces without washing or rubbing them off, so they can work better,” says Purvisha Patel, MD, FAAD, a board-certified dermatologist based in Tennessee and founder of Visha Skincare. There is also an increase of blood flow and temperature to the skin when we are sleeping, and that helps with the absorption of active ingredients in skincare products.” Because you’re not exposed to the elements (think: sun, wind, and air pollution), not interacting with others (read: kissing your significant other), not sweating too much, and less likely to touch your face, these products have a better chance of sinking into your hair and skin, allowing you to get the most out of them. Plus, some of these formulas are extra-thick, so it wouldn’t be comfortable to wear them during the daytime.

Decreased Irritation

While some products help protect your skin during the day (think: antioxidant serums and sunscreen), others can make your skin more sensitive to the elements (such as retinol and chemical exfoliants). While you can still apply the latter during the daytime, you’ll experience less irritation if you apply them at night. Plus, they’ll have all night to work on your skin, which means you’ll wake up with refreshed, glowing skin.

Combats Dehydration

Another great reason to apply hydrating overnight hair masks, face masks, and lip masks is that your skin actually loses water as you sleep. In fact, our skin can lose up to one liter of water while we snooze (more than we lose during the day), which is why using hydrating overnight beauty treatments can help. These products are specifically formulated to replenish the moisture levels in your hair and skin so you can wake up flawless (Beyonce-style).

Convenience

Let’s face it: haircare and skincare can feel like a lot of work on your busy days. One of the best perks of overnight beauty treatments is convenience. All you have to do is apply the products before bed, and they do the rest while you sleep. Plus, you can easily wash it off during your morning shower, making the process of getting ready for the day a total breeze.

The Best Overnight Hair Masks

Wondering what the best overnight hair masks are? While some people may recommend trying a coconut oil hair mask overnight or an olive oil hair mask overnight, there are some store-bought options that won’t run the risk of causing breakouts.

The Best Overnight Face Masks

Want to wake up with glowing skin? Try an overnight face mask. These products are made to deeply hydrate and help penetrate the ingredients into your skin more. Here are the best overnight face masks to try. Pro tip: If you don’t want to ruin your sheets, place a microfiber towel on your pillow to help absorb any leftover product. “Make sure you sleep on your back—this ensures both sides of the face get your skincare benefits,” Dr. Patel says. And if you have sensitive skin, be careful about which products you use. “Don’t sleep in acids or masks with acids,” Dr. Patel says. “They could work overdrive while you sleep, making your skin inflamed.”

  • Dr. Dennis Gross Advanced Retinol + Ferulic Overnight Texture Renewal Peel, $78

In the morning, you’ll wake up with younger-looking, refreshed skin.

Not every overnight beauty treatment has to be topical. In fact, you can support healthier skin and hair from the inside out with supplements. Here are the best supplements for beautiful skin.
