Make the old cliche work for you with overnight beauty treatments. We test-slept a few for you…

Biore Hard Day’s Night overnight moisturizer – This is quite possibly my favorite moisturizer ever, day or night. Part of their “inbetween skin” line (too old for acne products; too young for serious anti-wrinkle formulas), this moisturizer is like a thick serum. It is oil free, which allows it to give serious hydration without being heavy or greasy. I do not have particularly dry skin, but when I use this cream my skin feels well-balanced, soft, even toned, and healthy. From a sciency standpoint, Biore’s exclusive Botanamide technology strengthens and hydrates skin while protecting it from free radicals. All I know is that I simply love this moisturizer. If it had a sunscreen in it, I would use it as a day lotion, too.

Zo Oraser Overnight Hand Recovery – This hand lotion is loaded with super-retinol, vitamin C and E, and coenzyme-10 to relieve dryness, brighten skin, improve elasticity, and fights signs of aging. What I find interesting is that it definitely is meant as an overnight treatment. When I first put it on, it doesn’t feel particularly moisturizing. But when I wake up in the morning, my hands feel smooth, hydrated, and generally healthy. Cracked portions of skin on the ball of my palm are virtually healed by morning. It is definitely a worthwhile product, just understand when to use it and know what to expect. Once I got over the initial “WTF?” stage, I was in love.

John Frieda Creme Serum Overnight Repair Formula – I wasn’t really expecting much by way of results with this product. I don’t process my hair in any way, so it is pretty healthy, if a touch frizzy. But after one night of using this hair serum, I was amazed with the results. You rub a few drops on dry hair before bed, and shampoo in the morning. The light serum absorbed quickly and didn’t leave a mess on my pillow. The next day I washed my hair, added a couple drops of anti-frizz serum and let it air dry. When it was dry I was amazed. My hair was extra-shiny, bouncy, and silky. No frizz or fly aways. I had that “feel like you just stepped out of a salon” hair at a much lower price.

Sally Hansen Overnight Lip Recovery – Another product that was surprisingly awesome. You know how sometimes when you go to sleep with lip balm on, you wake up with puckery lips, like fingers that have been in water too long. This thick lip conditioner was a little heavy, but by morning, my lips just felt plump and soft and healthy. I have very sensitive lips and was worried I would have an allergic reaction – I didn’t. What is more, that healthy feeling lasted most of the day – I only needed to apply balm once. Another winner!
