For us gals, every day is the big day.  And we want nothing more than to rise and shine,  look in the mirror,  and see a well-slept, glowing complexion staring back at us.  So, we stick to the beauty tip we know best.  We get our “beauty sleep”.

But let me guess — no matter how many hours of zzz’s you manage to squeeze into one night,  you know you could be getting more restful sleep. Truth is, women that have great skin aren’t necessarily getting any more sleep than you, they simply have bedtime rituals that put them in a rested mindset — and as a result, they have better sleep. Which you guessed it — helps improve the radiance of their skin.


So, what does it mean to have a bedtime ritual?   Instead of jumping straight into bed,  these women take a few minutes just for winding down and pampering their skin. To help you get your best beauty sleep ever,  we’ve put together the top ten bedtime habits women with great skin swear by.


Ready.  Set.  Let’s glow!  Scroll through for 10 bedtime habits that all women with great skin do.

NARS Gentle Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover



If you want to wake up with a fresh face, removing all of your makeup is a must.  No matter how much makeup you’re wearing,  or how exhausted you may be,  the extra five minutes to remove your makeup can work wonders.  Leaving on makeup clogs your pores, and prevents your skin from renewing when you sleep.  With a jar of cotton balls and one of these makeup removers on your bathroom countertop, you won’t forget this ritual.

Also, after washing your face, apply a facial toner that makes your skin happy. Using a toner is just another way to rid your skin of any extra oil, dirt, or makeup. With a few drops of these facial toners on a cotton pad, you can say goodbye to breakouts and acne.

Did someone say spa night?  For hydrated skin apply a face mask. Not only is it fun to pretend you are at the spa,  but it helps to remove excess oils and purify your face.

Pamper yourself with these face masks—and don’t forget to add the cucumbers.

Who doesn’t love a bedtime story? Always keep an intriguing book on your nightstand.  Reading a chapter or even a few pages will distract you from any thoughts that might be keeping yours from sweet dreams. This will help to reduce the production of cortisol, which can lead to skin outbreaks. Plus, reading is exhausting, so your eyes will quickly shut.  Anyway to fall asleep quicker will give your skin some extra rest and minimize dark circles.
