There’s no shortage of factors that threaten to steal away sleep—but when the clocks change over this Sunday at 2:00 a.m., courtesy of Daylight Savings Time, we’ll all gain one more precious hour of it. Upping the odds of a rested glow the next morning? The latest wave of multitasking overnight skincare treatments, which promise to make the most of those extra sixty minutes by capitalizing on the body’s natural regenerative processes.
“When you sleep, your parasympathetic nervous system works to balance, repair, and recharge the skin,” says New York City dermatologist Ellen Marmur, who also links inadequate rest (less than seven hours a night) to a decrease in collagen repair, dryness, blemishes, and the inflammation that leads to wrinkles.
Among the best of the new moisture-rich masks, resurfacing creams, and soothing eye concentrates that deliver the potent rejuvenating effects of a good facial: Darphin’s new Ideal Resource Light Re-Birth Overnight Cream stimulates cell renewal with soothing neroli oil and white hibiscus extract; Omorovicza’s Gold Night Drops, inspired by centuries-old Hungarian beauty rituals, help restore sun-damaged skin with vitamin A and calm inflammation with colloidal gold particles. For gentle exfoliation, consider Kate Somerville’s Overnight Discoloration Perfector, spiked with salicylic acid and vitamin C, to increase cell turnover. As for dark post-party circles, Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Eye with butcher’s-broom extract helps minimize swelling, fortifies with evening primrose oil, and smells (yes) positively dreamy.
