Dedicating yourself to a beauty routine before bed is essential to guarantee a deep and restorative sleep. In fact, bad sleep can cause stress and a perpetual feeling of fatigue, debilitating the body and making us always feel nervous. Fatigue and a day of work or study behind you certainly do not encourage you to do skincare treatments, so it is essential to condense the night beauty routine in just a few steps. In the specific case of the beauty routine for sleeping, only in two steps we focus on skincare, while the others are little tricks and secrets to help us sleep peacefully and make sweet (and fresh) dreams!

#1 THE FIRST STEP OF THE NIGHT BEAUTY ROUTINE CONSISTS IN USING A REPAIR SERUM
Knowing that a product takes care of our skin while we sleep is certainly an incentive to relax and rest peacefully. Furthermore, applying serums and creams with a deep massage helps to relax the facial muscles by releasing all the tension accumulated during the day. The evening beauty routine dedicated to skincare begins with a repairing and regenerating serum that stimulates cell renewal, making the skin healthier, more beautiful and radiant. A must-have much loved by beauty addicts is Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate, a 99.8% natural serum with evening primrose botanical oils of evening primrose (which repairs the skin barrier and gives radiance), lavender (which soothes redness and inflammation, smoothing the complexion) and squalane (which regenerates the lipid structure of the skin).
#2 RELAXING SKINCARE CONCLUDES WITH A REGENERATING CREAM FOR A PERFECT BEAUTY ROUTINE
The onset of wrinkles has certainly deprived many women of hours of peaceful sleep. For this reason, several cosmetic companies have decided to combine the smoothing action of a product with relaxing properties that help to have a good sleep. An excellent product is definitely Lancôme’s Rénergie Nuit Multi-Lift cream for face and neck with Up-Cohésion technology that fights wrinkles and skin aging thanks to a super lifting effect. The product contains extracts of Guanosina and Cyathea medullaris, which give the skin firmness and elasticity.
#3 THE BEAUTY ROUTINE TO SLEEP MOVES FROM THE BATHROOM … TO THE PILLOW!
We rarely hear about a beauty routine that includes a pillow. However, since it is a series of steps designed to help you to sleep, the pillow is essential, and needs care and attention like the skin. In fact, one of the first vehicles of bacteria, as well as one of the causes that lie behind skin and greasy hair, is the pillowcase! For this you should use a fabric that limits these harmful effects by acting, on the contrary, in a beneficial way. This is the case of the silk pillowcase, which in addition to being more hygienic than that in cotton, is much smoother and softer, and gives a deep feeling of well-being. One of the most original? The one by The Beddha in Mulberry silk, a very light and fresh fibre, equipped with a small pendant as a closure to be immersed in your favourite essential oil.
#4 WHAT WOULD BE A BEAUTY ROUTINE WITHOUT AROMATHERAPY?
Perfumes have an exceptional power on our senses: they know how to make memories re-emerge, give us energy, or make us relax deeply. One of the most used essentials for aromatherapy is lavender: its enveloping and floral aroma has calming qualities that help counteract stress, anxiety and tension. A few drops of lavender essential oil on the pillow helps to relax the nerves before sleeping, not to mention that breathing such a good and fresh scent can only be good for the spirit. An excellent and very practical product for this beauty routine is the Deep Sleep Pillow Spray by This Works, which besides being relaxing is also soothing, and if the skin is red or inflamed, the spray will cure it!
#5 THE LAST STEP OF THE BEAUTY ROUTINE TO SLEEP CONSISTS IN WEARING A SLEEP MASK FOR EYES
Finally, to conclude our beauty routine and sink peacefully into the world of dreams, we need an eye sleep mask that keeps the light away and gives the skin a deep feeling of freshness. A super-cute fabric mask is that of NPW, available in many versions, from the unicorn to the panda through the koala, soaked in lavender extract which, besides being refreshing and very fragrant, has a depuff action that reduces dark circles and eye bags.
