From soothing serums to hydrating masks, these overnight heroes work hard for your skin while you sleep
Night-time is an important window for your skin , as it's when it repairs itself and works hard to restore the moisture lost during the day. So, why not speed up the process? These brilliant overnight treatments are designed to repair, soothe, hydrate, and smooth everything – from lips and under eyes to your hands. Ground Wellbeing Biome Overnight Repair Oil Ground Wellbeing Biome Overnight Repair Oil (€60 for 30ml from A leader in overnight treatments for the face and the body, home-grown wellness brand Ground Wellbeing does it like no other. Biome Overnight Repair Oil (€60 for 30ml from ) is one standout option for the face. Potent and powerful, the oil is light and instantly hydrating, and absorbs within seconds, stimulating cell renewal and reducing inflammation so you wake up to calmer, smoother, more radiant skin by morning. For the body, try Night Body Balm and Night Body Oil – formulated to soothe the skin and support deep, restorative sleep. Laneige Bouncy and Firm Eye Sleep Mask Laneige Bouncy and Firm Eye Sleep Mask (€32 from Space NK) Korean skincare brand Laneige knows a thing or two about overnight products, as creators of the brilliant Lip Sleeping Mask and Water Sleeping Mask , both of which I've recommended before. They've now turned their attention to the eye area, which is often the first to betray signs of tiredness. Laneige Bouncy and Firm Eye Sleep Mask (€32 from Space NK) is a lightweight, creamy gel that delivers intense hydration and plumping to the under eye area. Apply generously around the entire eye area and gently pat it in. Leave on overnight to work its magic, then rinse off in the morning as part of your usual cleanse. [ The best skin tints for summer 2025: Skincare meets lighter coverage for a fresh, dewy finish Opens in new window ] Biodance Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask Biodance Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask (€9 from Another standout Korean skincare brand, Biodance made waves on social media last year with its Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask (€9 from ). This unique, milky-white sheet mask gradually turns transparent as you wear it for several hours. Infused with a powerhouse blend of soothing, hydrating, cell-communicating ingredients – like adenosine, tocopherol, niacinamide, allantoin, and collagen extract, to name a few – it delivers visible results. While four hours is the minimum wear time for noticeable effects, wearing it overnight delivers the most benefits: calm, plump, deeply hydrated skin by morning. READ MORE Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum Synchronised Multi-Recovery Complex Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum Synchronized Multi-Recovery Complex (€77 for 30ml from Brown Thomas) A cult classic, and for good reason. Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum Synchronised Multi-Recovery Complex (€77 for 30ml from Brown Thomas) has been a staple in my routine for more than a decade, and I remember using the eye cream version in my early 20s. There's no product quite like it for encouraging skin regeneration while you sleep. It doubles brilliantly as a hydrating serum during the day. One of the best skincare investments you can make. Naturium Phyto-Glow Lip Mask Naturium Phyto-Glow Lip Mask (€18 from Space NK) I'm a big fan of overnight lip treatments, and Naturium Phyto-Glow Lip Mask (€18 from Space NK) is up there with the best. With a rich, balm-like formula, it's packed with shea butter, jojoba oil and avocado oil to plump and deeply hydrate the lips. There's a generous amount of product in the tub too, and at just €18, it's great value. [ The best beauty minis to buy for travel this summer Opens in new window ] Laura Mercier Amber Vanille Soufflé Hand Cream Laura Mercier Amber Vanille Soufflé Hand Cream (€38 from Space NK) Not technically an overnight product, but worthy of a spot on this list thanks to its long-lasting results (and decadent formula), Laura Mercier Amber Vanille Soufflé Hand Cream (€38 from Space NK) is pure indulgence. It delivers immediate nourishment while continuing to work its magic over time. It's a permanent fixture in both my handbag and on my bedside table. The rich, velvety cream melts into the skin and smells exquisite. This week I'm loving ... Spotlight Oral Care Ultra Teeth Whitening Strips Spotlight Oral Care Ultra Teeth Whitening Strips (24.95 from Spotlight Oral Care) A great launch from another home-grown brand, Spotlight Oral Care Ultra Teeth Whitening Strips visibly whiten your teeth after just one use. While they do leave a bit of gunky residue that needs brushing off, the hassle is worth it. Apply the strips to clean, dry teeth, leave for one hour, and marvel at the results. They're reasonably priced too: €24.95 for a seven-day pack.
