Promising review: "Love this moisturizer!! It is thick but spreads easily. It feels a little sticky until it fully dries, but that doesn’t bother me. I put it on before bed, and when I wake up, my skin is so hydrated and glowy! I will definitely be repurchasing this!" —Kindle Customer Get it from Amazon for $18+ (available in two sizes). Promising review: "These pillowcases are gorgeous and so luxurious. My skin has cleared up since sleeping on these, which is the main reason I bought them. The other benefit is that since I toss and turn in my sleep, it's hard to keep a bonnet on, so these help keep my hair smoother than with cotton pillowcases." —MR Wieselquist Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in four sizes, 45 colors, and in multi-packs). Promising review: "These work amazingly well! I just stick one on before bed, and by morning the pimple is noticeably flatter and less red. It really does what it says without any picking or irritation. They stay on all night, even if I toss and turn, which I was surprised by, and they don’t feel uncomfortable at all while sleeping. I also like that they’re thin and kind of blend into the skin, so you don’t really notice them if you wear them during the day, either. Super simple, effective, and way less stressful than dealing with breakouts the usual way. They fit well, and the size is great; they really absorb all the yuck from a pimple. A great value for money!" —Tara Get a pack of 36 from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in 72 and 75-count packs). Promising reviews: "These are my absolute favorite socks! They’re so soft and comfortable, and they maintain their softness and shape even after repeated washes! At night, I like putting lotion on my feet and then these socks — I wake up with the softest feet! If you’re super picky about socks due to dry skin catching and freaking you out, you will love these!" —Taylor "I LOVE these socks! They are the only socks I can wear to bed. They are soft and warm and fit great after a wash. They last a long time but do get 'pilly' after a while. This doesn’t bother me, so they last a lot longer for me! I have bought them for years and will continue to do so! I just bought a second set because I love the color and design, and will be getting another pair soon, too!" —Alexandra Martien-Lanigan Get a pair from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in five individual colors and in multi-packs). Promising review: "I absolutely 100% recommend this humidifier. I have a larger one in my living area, but I purchased this one just for my daughter's room. You can set the settings from high to low. I just set to high and absolutely no sound. It's really wonderful and my favorite humidifier I've ever had. It helps with allergy-related air and dryness. My skin has never felt better. The skin on my face tends to get really dry during the winter months, and this has really helped me. I will have both of ours running all year for these purposes. These are a must-have in my house. Some others I have seen and purchased are just too complicated. It should literally be this easy. Put water in it and turn it on. That is it! Love love love it!!" —Seneca Peterson Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in five colors and three sizes, and a dishwasher-safe style). Promising review: "I’ve been using the BeOkay 1,800-mL dehumidifier in my bedroom and bathroom, and I’m honestly impressed with how well it works for its size. It’s very quiet, so it doesn’t disturb my sleep, and I love the adjustable color lights—they’re a nice bonus at night. The water tank is a good size and doesn’t need to be emptied constantly, and the auto shut-off gives peace of mind when it’s full. I noticed a big difference in moisture and musty smells within the first couple of days. It’s compact, easy to move, and perfect for smaller spaces. Definitely worth the purchase!" —Malinda Qualls Promising review: "Especially in the winter, I get very dry lips — waking up to desert lips is so gross. I also get weird, very dry corners of my mouth sometimes, which hurts, and it's also very not fun. I have always slept with some sort of lip balm, but if you need more than that, this is perfect. It is pretty intense, so probably too much for daytime, but I like to sleep with a thick layer of this on at night." —Rachel Zizmann Promising review: "I'm a big fan of Eight Saints' Cloud Whip, so I tried their night cream. I love it so much. It makes my face feel super soft and moisturized without feeling greasy. It has helped with my puffiness under my eyes. I've tried a lot of different night creams, including very expensive creams, but this is my favorite and my new go-to cream." —ChicagoSG Promising review: "I love this product. I can’t say so far that it’s necessarily helped my nails grow or strengthen, but that isn’t why I bought it. I keep one in my nightstand and one in my purse. It’s great if you’re going out and realize your cuticles are dry-looking. It will add some luster if your nail polish is dull. It can even be rubbed into the hands. It smells so soft, like a hint of vanilla. I put on a nice coat at night before bed. I can definitely say that I see cuticle care results in the fact that I don’t get dry, flaking cuticles anymore. By the way, I found this product when I randomly happened upon a video of things Kim Kardashian keeps in her handbag. She is right. This one is a keeper." —Vennie Kocsis Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in eight scents). Tara Sartoria is a woman-owned small business based in Chicago. Get it from Tara Sartoria on Etsy for $34.97 (available in three colors). Promising review: "I can’t say enough good things about Tatcha’s night repair cream. It leaves my skin feeling deeply nourished, plump, and radiant by morning. The silky texture absorbs quickly — no sticky residue — and it’s now a must-have in my bedtime routine. If you’re looking for a luxurious way to pamper your skin overnight, this is it!" —Desirae Promising review: "I absolutely adore these gloves. I love putting them on at night and sleeping in them; my hands feel like babies afterward. They're soft, smooth, and nourished. Using them daily completely eliminates dryness and heals even the smallest cracks (I've tested this myself; I have very dry skin). I highly recommend them!" —Olha Chuban Promising review: "Perfect! Smells amazing and absorbs well into the skin. I use this product every night before bed! And wake up to soft hands. Perfect Zoe to have on the nightstand. Very moisturizing without feeling greasy." —Kyrie Get it from Amazon for $29 (available in three sizes and 11 scents). Promising reviews: "First time I have tried one of these for my feet! I loved it! Made my feet so soft and got rid of the dryness. Would definitely recommend!!" —sunflorida "Bought for my boyfriend’s calloused and smelly feet (he plays soccer). Didn’t expect much, but it softened the dead skin a lot, and they stayed smelling good even after a full night's sleep! Will be purchasing again." —summersanders24 Get it from Sephora for $5 (also available in coconut). Promising review: "I am newly obsessed with skincare and read about people 'slugging' with Aquaphor before bed, so I gave it a try. It definitely helped my serum and moisturizer do their job overnight and was easy to remove in the morning. I do recommend using an old pillowcase or a towel for slugging, since the product will rub off and may not be great for some fabrics. Overall, a great product and a reasonable price. I think I'm an Aquaphor girl for life." —j Get it from Amazon for $12.79+ (available in three styles). Promising review: "Absolutely love these Quince bamboo sheets. They are incredibly soft, cool, and feel so luxurious for the price. They wash beautifully and make sleeping so comfortable. Highly recommend!" —DONNA Get them from Quince for $100+ (available in sizes Twin–Cal King, 18 colors, and with or without a flat sheet.) Promising review: "Love using these to get rid of zits! Super effective and protective for my sensitive skin. I love to sleep with them, but also will wear them during the day since they are hardly noticeable!" —Ginger & Doodle Get it from Amazon for $4.88 for a 30-pack (also available in a 60-pack). Promising review: "Excellent product! It doesn’t leave my hair greasy, and it really soothes my scalp. Since I started using it, I no longer have flakes, and my scalp is much less itchy. Highly recommend!" —Rosa G. Promising reviews: "This is by far the softest, most convenient, perfectly fitting eye mask I have ever worn. It’s so easily adjustable and fits my face perfectly. The color is beautiful, and it feels luxurious! Truly a must-have!" —Cali Gibson "I love this DROWSY silk sleep mask! Since I started using it, I’m sleeping far better than I ever have before. It truly blocks out 100% of the light, giving me that deep blackout experience that makes it so much easier to fall asleep and stay asleep. The silk feels incredibly soft against my skin — light and super comfortable with no pressure or irritation. The fit is perfect; it stays securely in place all night long without sliding off, even when I toss and turn. If you struggle with light sneaking in from windows, street lights, or early mornings, this mask is a game changer. Highly recommend!" —CorDJ Get it from Amazon for $79 (available in 10 colors). Promising review: "Perfect if you have long eyelashes or hate having something touch your eyes while sleeping. I also love being able to put it in the fridge when I have a headache." —Shelby Contreras Promising review: "Been using this as my nighttime moisturizer. Not too heavy either! Feeling moisturized by morning. :)" —Jocelyn G. Get it from Summer Fridays for $26+ (available in two sizes). Promising review: "This stuff is awesome! It keeps my lips nice and soft, and I’m definitely noticing that they are fuller. I put it on at night and sleep with it on, and it works throughout the day. It comes with a small spoon applicator that helps you keep it sanitary and helps you use the same amount each time." —Amazon reviewer Promising review: "These pillowcases are awesome. They’re soft and kind of stretchy but still feel like cotton on my skin. The standard cases fit my queen-size pillows completely, no problem. I’ve been waking up at night with irritated skin on my neck where it was touching my old pillowcase, and that doesn’t happen anymore. As far as cooling goes, I wouldn’t say they’re super cold, but definitely cooler than a normal case. They may be pricey, but I feel like it was worth it for higher quality sleep. The fabric is a nice weight and feels sturdy. The light blue is very pretty." —Marti Reckless Simmons Get a two-pack from Amazon for $59.25+ (available in two sizes and six colors). Promising review: "These are incredible!! We finally took the plunge to purchase these during Prime Week, and we're not regretting it. You're not waking during the night, fishing the floor with one hand because of an escapee of the sliding sheets playing games while you're sleeping. We both have sensitive skin, and these feel absolutely wonderful and cool. Like these so much that we'll be making another purchase."—Shellie Get them from Amazon for $269+ (available in sizes Twin–Split King and five colors). Promising review: "Okay, I'll admit something that not many people my age confess: at 20, I already started noticing my skin wasn't the same. I'm not talking about deep wrinkles, obviously, but that loss of 'plumpness' I used to have. My skin looked dull, a bit thinner, and with some pores I hadn't noticed before. When I smiled, the expression lines around my eyes took longer to fade. I got scared, I admit it. I felt like I urgently needed something to help with the collagen thing before it was too late. The problem is that between classes, assignments, and internships, I don't have time for 10-step routines. I needed something effective that wouldn't steal hours of sleep (or study time). So when I saw these Biodance collagen masks, I thought: 'they have to work, because it's my only realistic option.' And girls, I'm not exaggerating when I say they changed my perspective. The first night I put them on, the feeling was weird at first because they're hydrogel and adhere super well; they don't slip. They fit perfectly. I fell asleep with them on (yes, you can sleep with these without them falling off) and when I woke up...wow, it was like I'd slept 10 hours at a spa. The best part: I woke up, took them off, and my face was ready. Literally. I didn't need makeup to cover anything. My skin woke up with that natural glow I had lost, plumper, pores minimized, and without any expression lines. I just quickly washed my face, applied moisturizer and sunscreen, and ran to university with rested-looking skin. If you're in your 20s, starting to notice collagen saying goodbye early, and living life at full speed, these masks are the shortcut you need. For me, they were an aesthetic and practical lifesaver." —Blanca veliz Get a four-pack from Amazon for $19 (available in four scents/styles and 16-packs). Promising review: "If you have deep cracks or psoriasis on your heels, get these, they are a total game changer! They hold in Vaseline and topical meds perfectly while I sleep, providing much-needed relief without getting all over my sheets. My heels are healing faster, and my calluses are softer and don’t split open because the moisture is trapped against the skin all night with the built-in gel cushion lining instead of rubbing off. So much hydration. The fact that it is a two-pack is perfect because while one pair is being washed and drying, you still have a set to wear. Very soft, stretchy, breathable, and easy to sleep in. I highly recommend them!" —T. U.
