Moisturize More Overnight You likely already have a set bedtime routine when it comes to addressing your complexion, but use the overnight hours to treat your nails and cuticles, too. Follow Wen's lead and go for more heavy-duty hydration while you snooze. "I apply a thick layer of both cuticle oil and a cream, like Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream, $6, then put on a pair of cotton gloves. Everything soaks in overnight and you wake up with moisturized nails and cuticles."
