Discover the power of beauty sleep with these top-rated nighttime products that will work on your skin whilst you sleep
Winter can be brutal on your skin, especially for the sensitive. Cold winds, low humidity, and indoor heat can leave our faces feeling tight and dull. But don’t let winter steal your glow!
As we enjoy a little extra time in bed, now is the perfect opportunity to refresh our self-care and beauty routines. With the nights growing longer, we’re gifted a little more time to slow down, unwind, and indulge in rituals that leave us feeling recharged and glowing.
The Power of Beauty Sleep
Beauty sleep isn’t just a catchphrase; it’s science! While we sleep, our skin gets to work on repairing, rejuvenating and strengthening its natural barriers. By taking advantage of that extra hour, you’re not only giving your mind a break but allowing your skin more time to reset and recharge. Quality sleep helps reduce inflammation, maintain hydration levels, and support collagen production, making it essential to any beauty and wellness routine.
Our beauty tip: Make your bedroom a restful haven by limiting blue light exposure an hour before bed, setting a comfortable room temperature, and using relaxing scents like lavender or chamomile to help ease you into a deep sleep.

Extra tips from us for your new night routine
1. Create a Relaxing Pre-Sleep Ritual: Wind down your day by incorporating calming activities before bed, like reading, gentle stretching, a session of meditation or listening to soothing music. This lowers cortisol levels, making it easier for your body and mind to relax. So, let peace guide your bedtime routine.
2. Eat Sleep-Supportive Foods: A light snack high in magnesium or tryptophan (think almonds, bananas, or herbal tea) can promote relaxation and help you drift off more easily.
3. Stay Consistent: When the clocks go back, try to stick to your regular sleep schedule to maintain your natural circadian rhythm. This will help you fall asleep and wake up feeling more refreshed, regardless of seasonal changes.
Sweet dreams and beautiful mornings await!
