Night Skin Care Routine: 4 Home Remedies To Nourish And Rejuvenate Skin Overnight

After a long day of work and chores, there's nothing that one looks forward to more than settling under the sheets and falling to a blissful sleep. It isn't just your body that enjoys the activity, it's also your skin. During the hours of the night when your body is at rest, your skin cells are awake and hard at work. Damage experienced through the course of the day; be it through harsh sun rays, breakouts or exposure to dirt and pollutants, are steadily repaired during these hours. Cells regenerate and recover from dullness, pimples, wrinkles and sun exposure; which is why those night hours are such crucial ones. They don't call it beauty sleep for nothing, you know.

While the skin is a magnificent self-repairing organ itself, it can definitely use external help to boost it along the way. Sometimes that's with medical treatments and skincare products, other times that's with home remedies. If you thought home remedies were only designed for the day time hours when you could slather them on and continue with your day, you're solely mistaken. Night skin care routines can include overnight home remedies as well. That way, they are applied right before you jump into bed and give your skin cells a gentle nudge to work harder on repairing, brightening and rejuvenating your face while you are sleeping. Overnight skin care home remedies fit effortlessly into one's schedule  as it is rest time for your body too. Our only suggestion would be to follow them with pillows lined with tissue paper or old cloth so as not to stain them. Before you head to bed tonight, pick one of these 4 skin care remedies that will work on nourishing your face through the hours of the night.

4 Home Remedies To Nourish And Rejuvenate Skin Overnight

Tonight, add these home remedies to your night skin care routine.

1. Jojoba Oil And Tea Tree Overnight Face Mask For Acne

Those who experience acne and pimples can turn to this face mask. Mix 3-4 tablespoons of jojoba oil with 3 drops of tea tree oil well and apply over your face, especially on pimples and areas with uneven skin. The next morning, wash off with warm water and cleanser followed by your usual skincare routine. While jojoba oil emulates naturally produced facial sebum, tea tree oil works on bacteria setting into the skin.

2. Honey, Milk And Oats Overnight Face Mask For Dry Skin

Dry skin symptoms like flaking and dryness can be tended to throughout the night with the help of these ingredients which together, might sound a little like a breakfast smoothie. In a bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of rolled oats with 2 tablespoons of honey and raw milk in proportion to form a thick paste. Apply to the face and leave it overnight. In the morning, pat water over the face and gently scrub the oats in circles and wash it off completely. This face mask will help to dry moisture into the skin while removing dead surface cells.
