The best Overnight Tips to wake up BEAUTIFUL!

Fix your beauty problems overnight to wake up with a new glow.

 

Don’t sleep on your stomach!

What kind of sleeping position do you have? If you are a stomach or side sleeper, I got bad news for you! Sleeping like this can actually cause bags under your eyes because fluid tends to collect in that area (Imagine all of that weight on your face). Avoid this and sleep on your back. Also try putting more pillows under your head. This will allow the fluid in your face to drain instead of collecting and sitting all night.

 

Get a new Pillowcase

Studies have shown that cotton pillow cases cause creases on your skin and create wrinkles. Satin ones, on the other hand, don’t. They absorb moisture and adjusts to all temperatures (warm in winter, cool in summer). Silk pillow cases will not only lessen the pressure on your skin, but will also help reduce the amount of hair breakage, plus your hair stays soft and static free as you sleep.

 

Lengthen Your Lashes

You want longer lashes? Then apply castor oil from root to tip of your lashes before you go to sleep. This natural oil is rich in super-hydrating omega-6 fatty acids, which help moisturize your lashes and prevent breakage (it can also be used for eyebrows). Leave it on overnight and when you wake up in the morning wash it off with warm water before washing your face.

 

Whiten your teeth

Try baking soda before bed. But just be sure to only do it once a week or you could damage your teeth. Brush your teeth as normal, then just dip your toothbrush in baking soda and brush your teeth one more time. Leave the mixture on for a few minutes and then rinse thoroughly. It’s a great overnight treatment because you’d normally have to wait an hour before eating or drinking anything.

 

Rejuvenate your skin overnight

For your face: Use a small drop of vitamin E oil under your night cream. For your Body: Use olive oil and massage it into your skin before going to bed. Your skin will be grateful.

 

Avoid heavy meals before bed

You’ll be doing your body the most favors if you drink lots of water and don’t eat a heavy meal before bed. Keep dinner light and try to avoid alcohol, sugar and too much salt.

 

Nourish Your Hair

Before you go to bed apply some leave-in conditioner to your hair and let it soak in all night. It’s the perfect time for your hair to soak in that extra moisture that it needs. Your hair will feel much more hydrated and healthy when you wake up in the morning and if it looks a little greasy, just wash it out when you take a shower.

 

Wake up sun-kissed

Before your bed time routine, exfoliate your skin, moisturize and apply some false tan. Go to be and you’ll wake up with a sun-kissed glow.

 

Eye Care

Do you constantly wake up with dark circles under your eyes? Apply a small amount of almond oil under your eyes to treat dark circles and fines lines. The oil is very nourishing and can take great care for the sensitive area under your eyes, so you will wake up looking fresh and rejuvenated!

 

Split ends

Get rid of dry and crunchy hair! Before going to bed just apply some leave in conditioner or argan oil to your hair and let it soak in all night.

 

Get Volume!

After showering at night, pull your hair up into a high, loose bun and secure with a soft elastic or headband (tight plastic ones may create creases). So when you wake up and take it down, you’ll have amazing volume and soft waves.

 

Try to sleep for at least 7-8 hours every night

When you don’t get enough sleep, you wake up with red eyes and tired skin – it sags, loses its glow and you get bags. Your blood vessels dilate and you’re extra stressed throughout the day. So be sure to get your beauty sleep!
