One of the questions we get asked quite often is whether there really is a difference between products which are created for daytime and nighttime. The answer to that question is a resounding “yes”! Products which are created specifically for night are usually much richer and thicker, and are intended for use while you’re asleep so that they have longer to absorb into and work on your skin. Most night products wouldn’t be suitable for wearing under make up as the consistency isn’t quite right, but it’s possible to give your skin a much needed overhaul by using the correct products before you go to bed. Here are five of our favourite overnight products to boost your complexion and allow you to wake up with a radiant glow
