Have a facial while you sleep

At times when you’re too tired to go through your whole skincare routine before bedtime, whip out one of these night-care treatments and let it do all the work so you can wake up to smooth, glowing skin.

Chanel Le Lift Skin-recovery Sleep Mask, $174

This isn’t just another leaveon mask offering intense hydration, although it does that too. The translucent gel, applied to the face, neck and decolletage, helps to tighten, firm and smooth (we tried it and saw results in just two nights – our fine nasolabial lines looked less obvious, while our saggy skin felt tighter around the jawline). And its fresh floral fragrance helps you unwind. You can use it nightly, or every two to three nights.

Allies of Skin Bright Future Overnight Facial, $159

This hyaluronic acid-based home peel contains a blend of time-release ingredients like glycolic acid and Ally-R (an encapsulated, stabilised form of retinol that doesn’t irritate skin). This keeps your complexion intensely hydrated even as it exfoliates. To give your skin even more moisture , spritz on some facial mist before and after this peel treatment – the hyaluronic acid in the peel acts as a moisture magnet to retain moisture while you sleep.
