The easiest way to get the most out of your beauty sleep is by doing the most before your head hits the pillow. Multitask while you sleep by taking time to prep yourself with the following treatments that can help your hair, skin and nails by the time you wake up. Ahead, 5 overnight hacks that will have you waking up with major beauty benefits.
1. Drying Lotion
Using a drying lotion/ spot treatment like Mario Badescu’s Drying Lotion can do wonders overnight. Celebrities like Kylie Jenner have told social media about this remedy for breakouts and it only takes a few seconds. With a Q-tip, apply the lotion to your breaks outs only as the salicylic acid, sulfur and calamine will aid in diminishing the blemishes. You can leave it on overnight if it’s a stubborn breakout but be sure not to rub it in. Rinse it off in the morning and wake up to clear skin.
2. Coconut Oil
Dousing your locks in coconut oil and leaving it on overnight can do wonder for your hair. Be sure to apply a towel onto your pillow before you go to sleep so the oil doesn’t stain your bedding. You can do the same with your entire body if you want your skin to soak up even more moisture.
3. Silk Pillowcase
A silk pillowcase prevents your hair from losing moisture and snagging. Silk prevents friction that other pillowcases commonly cause. If you are struggling with split ends, maybe considering investing in a silk pillowcase.
4. Under Eye Oil
Oils can be a bit messy and very noticeable if applied at the beginning of the day. If you want to give your eyes an extra boost of moisture, apply an under eye oil like the KORA Organics Radiant Eye Oil. The formula smooths, tones and brightens the eye area.
5. Castor Oil
If you want to promote eyelash and eyebrow growth, castor oil is your best friend. Castor oil is rich in fatty acids that also promote hydration and hair growth. It is specifically recommended by eyebrow threading artists for growing lashes and eyebrows.
