Four products to boost your complexion while you sleep.

We’re not sure Mr Dylan Thomas was talking about skincare when he wrote “Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night”, but the poem’s sentiment about raging against one’s mortality lends itself quite well to cosmetics, especially the ones we use before we retire for the evening. Your night-time grooming routine might consist of just brushing your teeth and hitting the sack, but the addition of a decent night cream is an easy hack that will have you waking up looking refreshed, rather than exhausted, especially if you’ve had a heavy night or could do with a bit of anti-ageing TLC.

While you sleep, your skin goes through a process of cell renewal and repair for the day ahead, which means anti-ageing creams and regenerative serums are more effective when used overnight. In other words, it’s a great opportunity to reach for the super-nourishing stuff that’s a little too heavy for daytime. Here are our recommendations.

01.  Dr Sebagh Suprême Night Secret

Bedtime skincare staple found. Dr Sebagh Suprême Night Secret is stuffed full of the latest biotech ingredients that somehow sync with the skin’s body clock (that’s really a thing) to maximise results while you’re sleeping. Combining antioxidants with anti-ageing technology, it’s a sure-fire way to wake up with a smoother, clearer complexion than you went to bed with.

02.  Perricone MD Multi-Action Overnight Treatment

Perricone MD specialises in cutting-edge anti-ageing cosmetics that are effective yet gentle, and the dermatologist brand’s Multi-Action Overnight Treatment is a good go-to if you want something to work on those fine lines and wrinkles while you sleep. It contains alpha lipoic acid to tone and tighten skin and promote cell regeneration, and penetrates deep into the dermis to keep it hydrated.

If you suffer with dark circles and eye luggage, a wise time to send them packing would be in the evening with Supremÿa Eyes At Night Serum by Sisley - Paris. It works to repair and nourish the delicate skin around your eyes overnight, leaving you suitably de-puffed and de-bagged by sunrise.

04.  Dr Jackson’s Night Cream

For something natural and rejuvenating, reach for this apothecary-style pot of Night Cream from Dr. Jackson’s. It contains baobab, an ingredient known for its protective properties, which works particularly well in harsh environments (such as cold weather and central heating) and has a jungle’s worth of other extracts that are anti-inflammatory, will prevent blemishes and will generally leave you looking like a better version of yourself come morning.
