Achieving youthful and glowing skin overnight might be seen as a fantasy, taken straight from a novel but the truth is, many tricks can and do work whilst you sleep. There are many pieces of advice out there that can greatly contribute to your skin and help you to look better when you wake.
1. Humidity and Temperature

A dry atmosphere is one of the biggest enemies of healthy skin. If you struggle with dry air in the rooms of your home, invest in a small humidifier. This will ensure that both your skin, and your lungs, will continue to stay healthy.
Another great option is to place a bowl or plate of water in the room, this will allow the water to evaporate at a natural pace.
This trick will also help the skin products you are using, work significantly better, as they will be absorbed considerably easier.
In addition, the room temperature of your bedroom should be kept a little lower to help you have a healthy and restful sleep.
2. Elevate Your Head

Many people invest a lot of money in beauty products for puffy eyes. The truth is this issue can be avoided if you use a thicker pillow under your head. This trick allows the tissue within your body, to regenerate easier, and you will wake up with eyes that are considerably less puffy, and with a better complexion overall.
If you sleep like this you will also be able to breathe easier during a cold, which in turn will give you a much better sleeping experience.
3. Hydration
Generally, we tend to focus only on exterior hydration. Unfortunately, no matter how many moisturizers you apply, the best hydration comes from within us. If you want to make sure that your body’s tissues have enough water, use a water intake tracker on your phone.
Before you get ready for going to sleep, drink a large glass of water. This will help your body engage in a high-quality sleep, that will also help your skin, achieve a significantly better complexion.

4. Never Sleep with Make-Up On
Yes, yes, we sometimes arrive home incredibly late from a party, and we just go to bed. This kind of night-time routine happens more than we like to admit, and for some of us, it is an unhealthy habit we must break. But as a rule, never sleep with your make-up on. This will only encourage your pores to become clogged and may cause acne.
Another great step is to make sure that you deep-cleanse and exfoliate in the evening. Morning exfoliation may cause redness, which is not a very desirable look during the day.
5. Massage
Nothing beats a good, evening, face massage. This is the best time to give your skin some extra love and help remove all the puffiness accumulated during the day. Use the moisturizing products to do the massage or go for oil if your skin can handle it.

If you focus on your neck as well each night, you may start to notice your face structure improving. Your face and neck will feel considerably better, and it can also help against aging. That alone is a good enough reason to add this step to your routine.
As you may have noticed, the best night-time routine is not about products, it is about habits. Most of our habits can greatly improve our skin, all by themselves. Try following these tips daily and observe for yourself, how your skin and complexion gets increasingly healthier.
