Think you look like hell when you get up in the morning? Then you obviously aren’t taking advantage of the tons of beauty products created specifically to work overnight. Packed with potent rejuvenating ingredients that promise to have you looking très fabulous by morning, these formulas make the most out of the dark of night.

| Sweet Creams |
 |
| Most face creams don’t mix with makeup and the daytime elements, so get in the habit of applying one at night. Vegetal peptides headline the class act that is L’Bel Resurgie Nuit (1) ($44). An intense yet non-irritating cream, it resurfaces the skin so you look younger and, well, you know, better. Origins High Potency Night-A-Mins Cream (2) ($33.50) uses the nighttime hours to repair damage done during your busy, crazed day. Cell turn over is accelerated as is your time for looking hot for the day to come. Get excellent help for your hyperpigmentation issues with Olay Definity Night Restorative Sleep Cream (3)($23.39). It works on wrinkles too, and gives skin a glow that you’ll get addicted to seeing you when you get up in the morning. Rise and shine, indeed. Made with pure, natural ingredients, vedaPURE Luscious Nourishing Face Cream (4) ($50.00) contains oils that attach themselves to impurities in your skin so you can wash them away in the morning. Now isn’t that a neat trick? |
| See Spot Run |
 |
| Dark spots and melasma can sneak up seemingly overnight, but you can strike back with ROC Multi-Correxion Night Treatment (5) ($22.49), which contains ROCRetinol and confronts dark circles, fine lines and brown spots. Salicylic acid is the star of Dermalogica Overnight Clearing Gel (6) ($35.50), which is great for clogged chins and t-zones and for use all over you face. A fab exfoliant that will have you waking up to fresher, more even toned skin. |
| Hand and Foot Magic |
 |
| If nothing else, please do take advantage of the fact that nighttime is the right time to apply an ultra thick hand cream and let it do its good work. Qtica Overnight Intense Hand Repair Balm (10)($20) has a blend of honey, vitamins and essential oils to soften and soothe even the most thin, sensitive skin. When it comes to your dry, calloused feet (which includes most feet), Avon Foot Works Overnight Renewing Foot Cream (11) ($4.99), with its jojoba oil and super cool emollient moisture beads, will have you rising to ask, “Um, whose feet are these?” |
