I Woke Up Like This: Beauty Products that Work Overnight

Her Campus Placeholder Avatar Mary Paige Nesfeder

In college, everything revolves around time: study time, social time, class time. As in, time is valuable—and we know that more often than not, there just isn’t enough of it. So we’ve put together a list of six beauty products that give new meaning to beauty sleep… products that work to repair, restore and regenerate throughout the night, so you can wake up flawless.

Hair

Between the cold winds this season and the repeated heat styling, hair during the winter just isn’t at its best. You can get a little extra help from Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Overnight Hair Rescue ($38)! This deeply penetrating treatment repairs damaged hair while you sleep, restoring hair strength and preventing future breakage. 

Face

Nothing is worse than seeing that cute guy from your history class and greeting him with a smile… and a pimple. Try  Dermalogica Clear Start Breakout Clearing Overnight Treatment ($19). Working overnight to fight breakouts, the treatment purifies your skin to reduce redness while cleansing pores.

With winter rapidly approaching, acne may not be your only issue. Dry winter air makes skin flaky and sensitive. The Clinique Moisture Surge Overnight Mask ($33) replenishes skin’s lost moisture all night long to guarantee soft, glowing skin in the morning. Use as needed to keep skin hydrated and protected from harsh winter weather.

Eyes

Thanks to those all-too-common all-nighters, collegiettes often wake up to unsightly dark under-eye circles. The natural ingredients in Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Eye ($36) combat fine lines, puffiness and dark circles as you sleep, so you can wake up looking like you actually got a full 8 hours!

Lips

Our lips deserve as much TLC as the rest of our bodies and are often neglected when they need our love the most. Try Neosporin Lip Health Overnight Renewal Therapy ($5.49) and wake up to visibly healthier lips, free of scaling and chapping. 

Body

Dry knees, chapped elbows—the skin on your body might not handle the elements so well when winter comes around. Jergens Overnight Repair Nightly Restoring Moisturizer ($6.99) works as you sleep to keep skin touchably soft: Evening Primrose and antioxidants hydrate and renew skin.

How will you be working on your beauty sleep this season, collegiettes?
