You can amp up your beauty, hair treatment by doing a rejuvenating and nourishing overnight treatment. You don’t even need to buy any special item for these.

If you have dandruff, use your anti-dandruff as you sleep. This can help lessen flaking through the day.
Soften Dry Hands or Heels
Our hands and heels tend to be the areas that become dry due to how much pressure it goes through and harsh chemicals that gets on them. We can help soften these areas as we sleep by hydrating them with hand cream or nourishing oils. You can even use lotions or any type of moisturizer. Apply a good amount of your choice of product on your hands and heels and massage it for a few minutes. Apply some more product and take cotton glove or socks and wear it. This will help the skin absorb the product and reduce dryness. The sock or gloves prevent you from making a mess. If you really have flaky or cracked heels, you can use a pumice stone on your heel as soon as you wake up. This is the best time to do this since the skin is really soft and can be easily removed.
Care for Your Eyes and Wrinkles
You can do a triple treatment at night by placing your eye cream and wrinkle serum or cream in the fridge in the morning. When you finish cleaning your face, take a good amount of your eye cream and place it on your under eye and eyelids. Putting it in the fridge can help reduce puffiness in the morning and soothe your eyes as you sleep. Apply your anti-wrinkle cream to have the same effect on your skin. You can also use nourishing oils while you sleep, but applying too much of this can cause your skin to be too oily in the morning. Once you finish applying creams or oils, take some castor oil and apply it on your eyelashes to help make them grow thicker and stronger.
