HI-YA, pretty people. It’s #beautymonday, and also Memorial Day! So happy memorial day. I hope you are all out celebrating with family, and that you are having a spectacular day. Today’s post is the bomb because I’m going to tell you all my ~ s e c r e t s ~ to looking beautiful (but the prep work is done WHILE YOU ARE SLEEPING). I’ve reviewed all these products before, so consider this a consolidated roundup. Let’s dive into this ish.
Overnight Beauty (How To Get Gorgeous While Sleeping)
Product #1: ViiCode Oxygen Mask For All Night
Okay this product rocks (I did a big review on it here). You basically put it under your eyes on yo’ eye bags and go to sleep. It works all its jelly magic on your dark circles while you sleep. I saw a significant difference in my under eye circles the first night I used this. I won’t do a full review (because, duh, I already did that) but trust me on this one: you need this.
Product #2: Sekkisei Herbal Gel
This is an incredible moisturizer. I love using it before I go to sleep because it hydrates and protects my skin. I wake up practically glowing. I wish I had known about this the day before my wedding…. If you struggle with dull, dry skin…this will make a HUGE difference in your skin overnight. 10/10 would recommend.
Product #3: LUSH Sleep Lotion
I lovelovelovelovelove this product. My husband and I both totally swear by it. Infused with lavender, it not only helps you fall asleep easier, but it also makes your skin crazy soft. It’s really thick so I wouldn’t use it during the day, but it is just the thing for going to sleep. I put it on my feet (no more cracked heels) and my hands because the dry air wrecks my knuckles. You’ll wake up with baby soft skin and you can thank me later.
Product #4: Zapzyt Spot Treatment
This stuff is the bomb. I have been really breaking out a lot lately (ugh), so I’m trying to wash my face twice a day and treat my breakouts with this spot treatment before going to bed (read about my skincare routine here). I notice significant redness reduction, and often times little blemishes are gone the next morning. #winnerwinner
Product #5: Coconut Oil Lash Enhancer
You can totally make this yourself. Just grab some coconut oil on a little Q-tip and swipe over clean eyelashes before you go to sleep. It conditions lashes and lengthens and thickens over time. You aren’t wearing mascara when you go to bed (you shouldn’t be anyways, I’m shaking my finger at you if you do), so bedtime is the PERFECT time to give your lashes a BREAK and enhance them in the long run.
Product #6: BLNDN Leave-In Conditioner
This is for my blondies, but can be totally used by brunettes to with a slight adjustment. This leave-in conditioner is perfect for nights when I go to bed with wet or damp hair. I personally use the BLNDN leave in conditioner but you can choose whichever type of leave in conditioner is best for your hair. It protects, softens and adds shine overnight so you wake up with gorgeous hair.
PIN THIS FOR LATER:
I hope this helps you out when you are trying to decide what products to use before bed. Taking care of your hair and skin before bed. It is so easy to do these steps before hopping into your cozy bed and your body will THANK YOU, I pinky promise.
Do you have any overnight beauty tips I forgot to mention? Leave them in the comments below!!
Going to sleep and waking up more beautiful than ever sounds like my ideal beauty routine 😀 Love the sound of the Lush Sleep Lotion and I bet it smells amazing!
I don’t know how I’ve missed the Lush Sleep lotion as many times as I’ve been there. I absolutely love using lavender scented products after a shower. I’m going over to their website now!
I’m all about overnight beauty products and letting them work while you sleep! I agree- coconut oil is deff the best 🙂 I think I need to try that leave-in conditioner!

Thank you for writing this! I have been on the hunt for things to add to my nightly routine that will help me achieve clearer skin. Especially during the warmer months, I’d rather go without wearing concealer than to have to wear it to hide spots all of the time. I love this list!
I adore Lush so I SO want to try that lavender sleepy lotion for my hands (they get SO dry). I also would love to try coconut oil lash enhancer.
That Lush cream sounds awesome…I have a gift card for Lush and I have to get some of that. The coconut oil tip sounds great too…coconut oil has so many uses
This is a lovely blog post. I’ve been trying to up my skin game and been needing some new products to try. I think I should rethink my before bed routine now.
Sometimes I am so tired I just go to bed without taking the time to do the night routine 🙁 I need to prioritize this like you do! Love your pin visual.
Lovely post, Taylor! My nighttime routine bores me now so maybe I’ll spice it up with some of these products!

I love my VIIcode eye masks! They’re totally incredible and they really do wonders for dark circles – which this girl needs super badly! I really want to try out that LUSH product now. I’ve never found a LUSH product I dislike so I’m sure it would become an instant favorite hehe!
My actual dream is to just wake up with #flawless skin…so, this is perfect!
Coming Up Roses
I love the viicode masks! I always pack them on long flights and they help with puffiness.
Seriously there are so many things I want to try here, but most of all I’d LOVE to try that Lush thingie that actually aids in getting sleep which would be ideal. Not only would it help me sleep some more, but I’d get prettier while using it, haha. 🙂
Thanks for all these recommendations!
