Lancome Hydra Zen Masque

I’ve aged 10 years in three months. Yes it’s official. Three months of broken sleep thanks to my restless and sniffles-prone four-year-old means I haven’t had a full night’s rest since.. well.. I actually can’t remember when.

While you will never replace the benefits of a good night’s sleep, I’ve been pulling out all the beauty stops in a bid to look alive the next day. The latest addition to my skincare arsenal is the super luxe Lancome Hydra Zen Overnight Masque (€55).

Described as anti-stress, the serum is designed to be left on all night. Firstly, it has a very floral scent which I personally like but might not be everyone’s cup of tea. A little goes a long way here. It doesn’t quite sink into skin but it’s gone by morning (possibly all over my pillow).

I can, however, report soft, healthy looking skin by morning. It’s good – not as good as Yon-Ka’s Age Defense Cream – but good none the less.

Do you have a Holy Grail overnight product? Do you have any tips for better sleep?
