Glamglow’s Dreamduo Overnight Transforming Treatment and Mudmasky’s Sleep Repair Renewal Nourishing Mask are both great overnight masks for all skin types. They focus on plumping, hydrating and nourishing the skin. The Mudmasky is a light, creamy texture and so may be even more effective for oily skin. Guerlain also have an overnight treatment suitable for all skin types. Their Midnight Secret promises to reduce puffiness and tiredness, so is perfect for troubled sleepers or night owls.

For older skin, there’s an array of overnight treatments which claim to keep wrinkles at bay. Filorga’s Sleep and Peel treatment attack fine lines and pigmentation in the skin, leaving your skin looking youthful and even in tone. Khiel’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate is also perfect for aged skin. The facial oil soothes and nourishes in the night, allowing you to wake up with more toned and radiant looking skin, with the additional benefit of a nearly completely natural ingredient base. If you want to splurge, Sarah Chapman and Estee Lauder both do luxurious overnight treatments. Chapman’s Skinesis Overnight Facial is a silky serum rich with vitamins, omega oils and antioxidants, giving instant results for dull and tired-looking skin. Estee Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair reduces the look of key signs of ageing and promises immediate hydration

For drier skin types, Clinique’s popular Moisture Surge Overnight Mask intensely hydrates whilst you sleep, so you can wake up with replenished, nourished, healthy-looking skin. The Body Shop has a more affordable alternative with their Hemp Overnight Nourishing Rescue Mask at £18. Your skin will be softer and dewier, without oiliness or residue. Hemp seed oil is known for its nourishing and skin-restoring properties which will relieve dry skin of its tight feeling. For a similar price, Glow Recipe have an overnight face mask inspired by Korean skincare. Their Avocado Melt Sleeping Mask is a creamy formula packed with avocado to nourish and manuka honey to firm. However, for those with more oily skin, Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask has a unique texture which clings to the skin and absorbs with speed but is still light enough to use throughout the day.

It’s important to give attention to your eyes and lips too, both of which can also be treated overnight. Laneige do a range of sleeping masks for both eyes and lips which hydrate, plump and depuff, so you wake up fresh-faced with well-rested and healthy-looking eyes and lips. Burt’s bees also do a very affordable moisturising lip mask which can be used at any time of day.

With all overnight products, you can lay back, let your skin do the work and wake up with results. It’s the ideal solution for hectic schedules: you can be running around all day, swipe on an overnight mask and leave people wondering how on earth you do it all and have flawless, radiant-looking skin at the same time!

The post What’s Missing From Your Overnight Skincare Routine? appeared first on Voir Fashion.

The #1 trend that is still all the rave is gorgeous, glowy, dewy skin. Glowy skin has zero flaws: it plumps up the skin whilst smoothing out fine lines and gives a healthy flatting look to the skin. Even the oily skins are switching to a glowy skincare routine…even though it doesn’t make sense (guilty).

Want to jump onto the trend but not sure where to start? Have a look at our favourite skincare and make-up products that will make you glow baby. (Just a heads up, the majority of these products have the word illuminating in.)

Skincare

Start off with the base of your face, Elizabeth Arden Skin Illuminating Brightening Capsules £60. This is a night time serum, and it’s really going to help to brighten up your skin as you sleep; Your skin repairs itself at night when your recharging, so it’s super important to have a good serum to give your skin all the good nutrients to help it repair to its best ability.

Some gorgeous moisturisers that will give you that healthy skin glow: Laura Mercier Tinted Illuminating Moisturiser £35 is an award-winning tinted moisturiser with micro pearl pigments for that glowy goodness, not to mention SPF 30 (right?!) and easily brightens up the skin, effortlessly giving you that ‘barely there’ no make-up make-up effect. Glam Glow Glowstarter Mega Illuminating Moisturiser £36; Probably the dewy-est moisturiser you will find; it even doubles up as contouring and highlight with its other shades (which I don’t really get but sounds cool). It has this golden root technology which is supposed to instantly flood dull skin with hydration and moisture which leaves you will unreal bright skin. E.L.F Illuminating Moisturiser £9; Oh, E.L.F. I mean 9 quid?! AND it’s amazing! Not only is it vegan, has SPF 15 and leaves a pretty glow, but it actually works as a moisturiser as it has shea butter! You really cannot ask for more in life can you?

Make-Up

Let’s start this off with the iconic Bobbi Brown Extra Illuminating Balm £45. Okay, a little pricey but so worth it for this gorgeous extra bit of glow for underneath your make-up, or even alone! Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Light Wand £29 is a stunning glowing liquid high-blusher, this will add a healthy colour whilst not matting your skin down, keeping it nice and plump. The two best foundations for this trend has just got to be Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation £42 and the classic NARS Sheer Glow Foundation £33.50. To be perfectly honest, both foundations are a decent coverage and effortlessly blend out so seamlessly on your skin as well as adding to this healthy dewy look. You really cannot go wrong with either!

Last but most definitely not least…the #1 selling highlighter in the US: Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter in Moonstone £30. I know this is a powder which typically won’t give you the shine like a cream or a liquid would but hear me out! With its velvety butter-like feel, this highlight is such a ‘soft focus’ highlight, meaning there are no big chunks of glitter making you feel like you can only wear it on a heavy night-time look. There are literally 14 freaking colours to this product…and it’s a highlight! Not to mention it even will slightly adjust to your skin tone anyway, there’s more of a chance to get one of these bad boys to match you better than a foundation! They do also sell minis for £16 if you want a little trial before splashing out on the full thing.
