7Use a thick moisturizer.

Finish with an ultra-hydrating, thick cream made for sensitive skin -- it will not interfere with any of your "action" products. Also, a facial oil can soothe and nourish your skin.

8Condition your lashes with petroleum jelly.

Dry lashes can become brittle and fall out. so condition them overnight.

9Take extra care of the skin around your eyes.

Find an eye cream that is both firming and anti-wrinkling, and apply generously before you go to sleep.

10Moisturize your feet.

11Double treat your lips.

First apply a medicated lip balm, then follow with a moisturizing lip balm. The first layer treats dry lips, while the second seals in moisture and add comfort to your lips.

12Whiten your teeth.

Some teeth-whitening products can be applied before bed, whether they are trays, paint-on formulas or teeth wraps. Now you can wake up with a dazzling smile!
