Beauty sleep is real, people! Just like the rest of your body, your skin has its own circadian rhythm. As you rest your eyes, your skin goes into repair mode, and skin cells turn over more quickly to produce new ones. So while you may focus on prevention during the day — wearing sunscreen and antioxidants — your skin care should also focus on repair and restoration at night.

For you, that may mean using retinol or applying glycolic acid. However, you should also keep hydration in mind. As we sleep, our skin loses moisture through something called Trans Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL), which is a fancy way of saying that the water in our skin evaporates. This actually happens gradually all day long, but the evaporation speeds up at night. If you’ve ever woken up with dry or tight skin, this may be why.

However, that’s also why hydration is so important. Hydrating the skin directly correlates to a stronger skin barrier, which in turn can reduce the appearance of fine lines, reduce redness, improve skin texture and more.

Whether you have dry, oily or combination skin, these five best-selling night masks and creams are worth trying. They can help you hydrate and retain moisture, so you wake up with plumper, healthier skin.
