Food, water and sleep are the top three things necessary to sustain human life, but keeping all three in check is easier said than done. Eating? No problem. Staying hydrated? A little more challenging, but we'll aim for the recommended 2.7 liters a day. Getting a good night's sleep, every night? Try explaining that to our bosses, our smartphones, our pets, our kids... oh, and our brains.

The science of sleep is a complicated one, particularly in these modern times, but it's scientifically proven that solid sleepers tend to have 100-percent better-looking skin than those of us who struggle to get our eight hours. (Literally, that is a statistic that exists out there in the world.) That said, there's no point in repeating the facts until we're blue in the face. Sometimes the best you can do is to make the most of the sleep you are getting -- by taking extra care to treat your skin while you snooze, whether it's for 4 hours or 14.

Appropriately, embracing skin care that works while you sleep is the best way to reap the beauty benefits of, well, beauty sleep. Overnight skin treatments aim to work with the body's natural circadian rhythm to target the skin when it's at its most receptive, so not only will you face the day feeling refreshed, but your skin will look the part. Slather on one of these nine genius nighttime formulas and hit the sack ... and maybe the snooze button, too.
