How to Take Care of Your Skin While You Sleep
It can be so tempting just to jump into bed at night without a thought as to taking some care of your precious skin.
But it is never too late to establish a better and consistent routine for looking after your skin.
If you can get into a good habit of ensuring a regular night time routine, you will reap the benefits for your skin when you wake up the next morning and beyond.
Cleanse Away the Day
Simply Cleansing Oil will gently unclog the pores, lift any grime and embedded impurities – without stripping the skin’s natural oils. As well as cleansing the dirt of the day, the Cleansing Oil will get rid of stubborn eye makeup too. Use just a drop to smooth across your eyelids and through your lashes before wiping any makeup off with a cotton pad.Â
Replenish With Moisture
Moisturizing your face should always follow cleansing. If you wash your face with water, you wash away the skin's natural oils. Moisturizing will help to replenish those oils especially if you are using a natural product that has essential oils in its ingredients. Simply Face Oil is a non-greasy, natural face moisturizer for all skin types to nourish and improve skin elasticity as well as moisturize.
During your beauty routine, take an extra couple of minutes and use our Simply Body Oil to deep moisturize all the extra dry areas of your body including elbows, knees, heels and hands and feet.Â
Nourish While You Sleep
Nourishing your skin at night supports renewal and hydration while you rest. Here are some of our favorite nighttime essentials:
Simply Eye Serum
Targets dark circles and under-eye bags while enhancing the delicate skin around your eyes.
Simply Neck Oil
Smooths and softens the neckline and décolletage for a more youthful appearance.
Simply Skin Vitamin Oil
Delivers pure nutrition to your face, including your lips, for a healthy, radiant glow.
Simply Night Face Oil
Deeply nourishes and revitalizes your skin overnight.
H-Glow Formula
Helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, promoting smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
You’re truly spoiled for choice when it comes to caring for your skin at night!
Upgrade Your Pillowcase Game
Depending on your sleeping position, your facial skin can be tugged and pulled, especially if you move around a lot during sleep. Silk pillowcases gently caress your skin instead, offering a softer, skin-friendly alternative. Because your face spends more time in contact with your pillowcase than any other fabric, the material you choose is especially important for comfort and skin health. A silk pillowcase can help:
- Keep your face looking refreshed, healthy, and glowing
- Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Prevent acne breakouts
- Retain skin moisture
- Minimize chemical exposure , silk is naturally hypoallergenic
- Reduce bedhead and split ends in your hair
Other Nighttime Tips Your Skin Will Thank You For
Sleep on your back. Pressing your face into a cotton pillowcase night after night can contribute to wrinkles and facial creases. If possible, try sleeping on your back to reduce pressure on your skin and support smoother skin over time.
Use a humidifier. If you sleep with air conditioning or central heating on, especially in extreme climates, it can dry out your skin. While a cooler room is ideal for sleep, keeping moisture in the air is just as important. Using a humidifier filled with water can help maintain hydration and protect your skin barrier overnight.
Get a good night’s sleep. Healthy, radiant skin doesn’t just come from products, it starts with rest. In addition to your nightly skincare routine, quality sleep helps your skin repair and regenerate. Our Sleep Aid Formula can help you unwind and drift off naturally, without tossing and turning.
Show Your Hair Some Nighttime Love
Your beauty routine doesn’t end with your skin — your hair deserves care, too. Overnight is the perfect time to nourish and strengthen your strands while you sleep.
Massage a few drops of our Simply Hair Oil into dry or brittle hair once or twice a week. Let it work its magic overnight as a deeply hydrating leave-in treatment or conditioning oil. Wake up to softer, healthier-looking hair with added shine and less frizz.
Bonus tip: Skip the tight ponytail before bed. Sleeping with your hair pulled back can lead to unnecessary breakage. Try a loose braid or leave it free to protect your strands while you rest.
Make It a Habit
Consistency is everything. Stick with your nighttime routine for at least a month, and it will become second nature, your skin will thank you every morning.
