We call it beauty sleep for a reason. 

Yes, sleep is one of the most important things we can do to keep our bodies and skin healthy, but we like to make the absolute most of our shut-eye with skincare products that make our skin feel better when we wake up. While you rest, your moisturizers, serums, acne dots and more should be working overtime for you.

Sleep is the perfect time to clear up blemishes, soothe and calm rednesshydrate dry skin and more. If you don’t know where to start your hunt for products that work overnight, don’t worry. We’ve rounded up top-rated products to add to your nightly skincare routine so you can wake up looking like your most refreshed self. Scroll below for the best skincare products to use to sleep your way to better skin.

Give your skin some elasticity and extra firmness while you sleep with Weleda’s Plumping Night Cream. Packed with nourishing ingredients like pomegranate seed oil, shea butter, maca root peptides, and olive leaf extract, you can wake up with plumper skin and a more radiant complexion.

These pimple patches have over 129,600 5-star reviews on Amazon. The medical-grade hydrocolloid in the patches extracts build-up in your pores. The brand says you’ll see results in 6-8 hours, so they’re perfect to wear during your next beauty sleep.

You’ve probably seen this lip mask all over your FYP if you’re on TikTok. Laneige says this product will soothe and moisturize your lips while you sleep, but it smells so yummy, you’ll want to wear it all day long. It also comes in four other scents.

Here’s a hydrating mask you won’t have to wash off, so you can put it on right before you go to sleep. Niacinamide, Glycerin and Hyaluronic Acid in this mask work together to reduce the appearance of fine lines and pores, hydrate, brighten and plump the skin. You’ll wake up with baby-soft skin.

It’s perfect for combatting wrinkles, dark spots, and scars, and while it’s designed for those over 40 years old, the cream is great for all types of skin.

Another skincare trend that’s loved by TikTok is slugging which involves covering your face in Aquaphor as the last step in your routine before you go to sleep to seal in your skin’s moisture and skincare products. If you think Aquaphor will be too heavy for your skin, Aquaphor also works as a great overnight eye and lip cream.
