Sleeping Beauty: Night Time Beauty Products Review Part One

Beauty sleep may be one of those clichés that is actually true. Your body rejuvenates when you are sleeping so make the most of it by upping your game with some great products. We are sourcing the best ones, starting with these three beauts.

Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant Nighttime Moisturizer.

Eight hour cream is a classic and this is particularly good as it smells of lavender which is known to help people sleep. Leaves skin soft, plump and smooth. Great stuff.

Available from House of Fraser.

Lotil Foot Care Cream with Aloe Vera.

Absorbs easily and leaves feet wonderfully smooth. It is a rich and hydrating formula which incorporates Rosemary extract, a highly effective natural anti-oxidant that both softens and moisturises the skin. The addition of Aloe Vera helps soothe dry cracked, skin. Cover feet generously in Lotil Foot Cream before bed, then pop on cotton socks and you’ll wake up in the morning with beautifully soft feet. It really works. £5.49 from independent pharmacies.

Dentyl Active Plaque Fighter

Dentyl says this:

  • Kills up to 99.9% oral bacteria (in lab tests)
  • Powerfully lifts plaque from teeth and gums
  • Provides a super refreshing mouth feel
  • Is alcohol free so it tastes great and doesn’t sting or dry your mouth

We included Dentyl Active Smooth Mint Plaque Fighter because teeth are important for both health and looks. Cleaning them properly before you go to bed is a great beauty tip.

This mouthwash is great, it tastes good (not an excuse to swallow it!) and leaves your mouth amazing clean. It definitely improves oral hygiene.

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream | Beauty Review

elizabethardeneighthourcreamElizabeth Arden’s Eight Hour Cream is constantly on the major magazines best of beauty lists. It is the little tub of cream that has a million uses and is a favourite of celebrities. My family and friends also love it. Here is my review.

Elizabeth Arden says their Eight Hour Cream soothes minor skin irritation and is also for the symptoms of chapping, peeling and flaking due to minor burns, sunburn, windburn, scrapes, abrasions and cracked lips. Phew. That is quite a list. Created in 1930, it is Elizabeth Arden’s bestseller, with a tube of the stuff selling somewhere in the world every 30 seconds.

I use the cream on my lips and it is a great lip balm. I also use it on my hands which are really drying out because of the weather and it really sorts them out. It is great on dry skin, you can really feel it healing the skin. I end up using it on my feet too. It makes them really smooth. I also put it along my cheekbones to highlight them when I am going out. It is good on rashes and burns. In fact it solves pretty much any skin based problem.

I quite like the smell but it is not to everyone’s taste. I know Elizabeth Arden recently brought out a version that is scent free. I think Eight Hour Cream is a great all-purpose balm. An essential for every make up bag. I am addicted now.
