Nighttime Is the Right Time
Sleeping is one of my absolute favorite pastimes—can’t get enough of it. Lately I’ve been optimizing my z’s with these evening products.

This kit consists of 30 vials of a camelina-oil-based serum, a gardenia-stem-cell night cream, an eye and lip contour cream, and four arjuna-bark-extract jowl and chin masks—the best part. The directions say leave the mask on for 20 minutes, but I like to wear it longer and wake up with what appears to me to be a more defined jaw line.

A special polymer called Elasti-Flex Texture gives this thick cream a fun, spongy consistency—not to mention incredible firming action. Hyaluronic acid and the plant extract Centella asiatica provide skin with extra lift.

This four-week treatment contains a molecule created by Chanel scientists in Japan that inhibits pigment production to prevent dark spots, as well as pearl-protein extract that promotes a healthy glow. It makes me look like I’ve gotten a full eight hours even when I haven’t.
