Best before bed: Pampering products that work even better at night

If you're using all the same beauty products when you wake up as you do before bed, you might be missing out on some skin TLC. Some products are made specifically to use while you rest, and unlike daytime products, nighttime treatments don't have to compete with as much else that you might be applying by day (think SPF or makeup). And it's not just about swapping out your moisturizer. These days, there are nighttime tan masks, hair conditioners and foot salves to cover all your needs from head to toe. Scroll on for more on these hero products that work hard while you sleep easy.

The tan mask

James Read changed the game forever when he introduced his first overnight tan mask. If you've ever wanted to sleep and simply wake up with a golden glow by 7 a.m., this one's for you. When applied at night, the formula which also contains hyaluronic acid and aloe vera hydrates skin while it gives you a natural looking tan. It's the ultimate summer 2-for-1.

The deep conditioner

Use this product with silk proteins all over hair to nourish processed hair and repair damage. When you wake up, expect hair to feel soft and look extra shiny, so it's easier than ever to style before you head out the door.

The foot friend

Summer is a time when feet need to look their best, but this salve is great for when skin gets dry and tough in the winter too. So year-round, try applying a skin-softening balm with a pair of socks before bed to put an end to dry and chapped skin by morning. Made with a base of shea and coconut butters, and a light scent of peppermint leaf and rosemary, this is the stuff dreams are made of.

The gel-cream comfort

Dermalogica's latest launch is a gel-cream that uses tamarin seed extract, Wu-Zu-Yu and Persian silk tree extract to hydrate, brighten and revitalize while you rest. Plus, its essentials oils work to promote deeper sleeps.

The nail rescue

Ever been here: you're in between gel manis and your nails aren't looking great? There's something you can do to refresh them. Try a mask like this one packed with antioxidants like acai and green tea to repair nails and help promote healthy growth. Massage the product into nails before you turn in for the night and let the mask work while you catch some ZZZZ's.
