Editor's June Picks: Overnight Beauty Treatments And Evening Prep

Writer and expert5 years ago

Let’s face it, getting ready for an event is so time-consuming! From sophisticated blow-drys to intricate makeup, making yourself look and feel fabulous is a process. So, I’ve been on the hunt for the best overnight beauty treatments you can use to wake up looking fabulous and half-way ready!

If you want to win my entire haul, simply enter the prize draw below. Good luck!

Korres - Wild Rose Advanced Repair Sleeping Facial

If there’s one beauty rule I live by, it’s that skincare should always come first. Before you even think about applying makeup, always make sure you have a smooth and hydrated complexion. I like to use a brightening night cream the evening before an event. My favourite? Korres’ Wild Rose Sleeping Facial.

The true embodiment of beauty sleep, this mask works miracles overnight. I always wake up with brighter and smoother skin.

Boasting a gorgeous, subtle rose scent and a velvety texture, it feels so luxurious to use. After cleansing and toning, I apply a thick layer onto both my face and neck. The next morning, my skin feels soft and hydrated. Mostly though, my whole complexion looks brighter and healthier thanks to this vitamin C infused formula. It’s definitely one of my favourite overnight beauty treatments!

NO20 – Detoxing Dry Sheet Mask

If I'm attending a particularly glamorous event, I also use the luxurious NO20 Detoxing Dry Sheet Mask before using any overnight beauty treatments. It purifies my skin, making my Sleeping Facial all the more effective.

Infused with salicylic acid, this sheet mask’s formula penetrates into the pores of my skin, unclogging and exfoliating them.

I’ll admit that using a dry sheet mask is a little strange when you’re not used to it. You have to massage it gently to activate the tiny dots of product on the sheet. You don’t know the magic is happening until you take off your mask and feel how smooth and refreshed your skin is. Trust me, it’s a brilliant pre-event ritual. NO20 also sell fabulous and effective hydrating, firming and protecting dry sheet masks. You'll want to give all of these a try.

The Ritual Of Karma – Hand Lotion

If you’re anything like me, then flaunting gorgeous nails is essential at every event. Of course, a great manicure starts with even better looking hands. That's why I always like to give my hands a little TLC before a special occasion. One of my favourite summer hand creams is Ritual Of Karma’s Holy Lotus and Organic White Tea Hand Lotion. Unlike most hand creams, this one contains an SPF 15.

This hand cream not only helps to soften and soothe your hands in the lead up to your event, but it also protects your skin from premature ageing and sunspots.

You can either use this cream every day in the lead up to your event, or use it with moisture gloves to give your hands the luxurious overnight beauty treatment they deserve.

Cocobaci – Oil Pulling Treatment

If you’re planning on wearing a bright lipstick that draws attention to your teeth or you just want to have a good time and smile a lot at your summer event, then keeping your pearly whites spotless is a must. That’s where this oil pulling treatment comes in. Oil pulling is an ancient Ayurvedic treatment that improves dental health. It removes plaque and bacteria, while brightening and whitening your teeth. For best results, rub the sachet between your hands to help the contents liquefy, then pour the oil into your mouth, swirl it around for 10 to 15 minutes (I do this sat in front of the TV in the evening), then spit it out. You can then brush and floss as usual.

I’ve followed their 15-day programme and have really noticed a difference! My teeth look whiter and my breath feels fresher.

I choose the cool mint flavour (I like that refreshing feeling it leaves in your mouth), but you can also get it in a raspberry or lemon and fennel flavour. After two weeks, my teeth look whiter and my breath constantly feels fresh.

Wilkinson Sword - Quattro For Women 2-In-1 Trimmer & Razor

Most of all though, hair removal is probably my number one priority before an event. I don’t like to rush it, so I always do it the night before. My go-to razor? Wilkinson Sword's Quattro for women! It boasts four ultra-thin blades, as well as Aloe vera and Vitamin E-infused conditioning strips that glide effortlessly over my curves.

My skin always feels so smooth after I’ve used it.

Recently though, I’ve actually upgraded my razor to their Quattro for Women 2-in-1 Trimmer & Razor. It not only features the same efficient and comfortable-to-use razor at one end, but it also has a bikini trimmer at the other end. Now let’s not tiptoe around this Glossies, most of us trim our bikini lines, and I'm sure you can relate to struggling with irritations and spots after shaving your pubic area with a razor. Well, this trimmer is a fabulous alternative! It doesn't cause any irritations. Plus, it has three trimmer settings, so you can reach even the smallest hairs. If you haven't tried it yet, give it a go! You won't regret it. And there you have it Glossies, my five favourite overnight beauty treatments. Good luck with the competition!
