No one has a more stylish nightstand than a beauty editor—take a look at our bedtime beauty obsessions.

      As beauty editors, our days revolve around all things beauty. We evaluate products, craft articles, consult with experts, and participate in beauty-focused gatherings after hours. Our schedules are filled, and our thoughts often remain tied to beauty topics until we finally fall asleep at night. In fact, right before we tuck in, we engage in our own beauty routines. This goes beyond just taking a comprehensive shower and a skincare regimen; it's about the bedside beauty rituals—the comforting and calming items we keep on our nightstands. These essentials help us relax and prepare for a restful sleep, benefiting both our skin and hair. Often, whether intentional or not, they double as decorative pieces. Below, we offer a personal glimpse into our current bedtime beauty obsessions, perfectly timed for the cozy winter months.

      "I typically have at least six hand creams and/or balms surrounding my bedside, so having only four moisturizers here is rather impressive. (Clearly, minimalism isn’t my forte.) This one from Sidia is incredibly lightweight and absorbs quickly, so I apply it first before layering on a thicker cream. If you suffer from painfully cracked hands like I do in winter, trust me, you’ll want to use two." — Schneider

      Dior

      Le Baume Revitalizing Multi-Use Balm

      "I alternate between this Dior cream and the one from Sisley Paris (below). Both are luxuriously creamy, but Dior’s has a more plush feel with a unique slip that never feels greasy. It’s definitely the most stylish item on my nightstand." — Schneider

      Sisley-Paris

      Restorative Hand Cream

      "Moving on to hand cream number three! This rich formula from Sisley is a bit greasier than Dior’s, so I reserve it for nights when my hands are practically begging for hydration. It works wonders for those itchy spots between my knuckles." — Schneider

      Sephora

      The Recovery Stone Soothing Muscle Balm & Massage Bar With Arnica, Ginger & Vanilla

      "This lotion bar not only smells amazing (warm and spicy, thanks to vanilla, cardamom, and ginger), but it also hydrates my dry, flaky shins while soothing my tired muscles. I can literally feel the stress of the day fade away as I massage it into my skin." — Schneider

      Sisley Paris

      Hair Rituel Le Parfum

      "Apologies for being extra, but wearing perfume to bed just feels elegant to me. I refuse to hit the pillow without a spritz, and this Sisley Paris hair fragrance makes me feel as if I’m going to sleep after a fresh salon blowout." — Schneider

      "I have a collection of lip balms, so I’m surprised that I currently only have one on my nightstand. However, this Sonsie balm provides such long-lasting moisture that it’s truly all I need for smooth, hydrated lips in the morning." — Schneider

      "If you know me, you’re aware that my Lyma Laser Pro is my most cherished item. I use it nightly (you need to for noticeable results), so keeping it by my bedside serves as a reminder to turn it on." — Schneider

      Lemme

      Lemme Sleep Gummies

      "These really knock me out. I actually take half a dose (one gummy instead of two), and I’m out for the night. Believe the hype!" — Schneider

      Diptyque

      Sapin (Pine Tree) Candle

      "Lighting a candle is my first step in my nighttime routine. I believe it signals my brain to slow down and relax. Additionally, it creates a warm ambiance, especially in the cold, dark winter (I live in the Midwest, where it’s dark by 5 p.m., so I cherish any cozy, warm light). I adore Diptyque candles. They are not only eternally stylish, but they also burn evenly and have an amazing scent. I had their limited-edition Citrouille Candle on my bedside table throughout fall. Now, I’m swapping it for the Sapin (Pine Tree) candle, which smells fresh like a pine forest, providing the ideal aroma and a warm glow for reading."

      "I have TMJ, so my jaw muscles are almost always tense. To prevent jaw pain, neck soreness, and headaches, I utilize this handy massage tool nearly every night before bed. Developed with input from a TMJ specialist, it gently releases tension in the lower face. It makes a significant difference and helps stop me from clenching my jaw in my sleep. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use it."

      Laneige

      Lip Sleeping Mask - Vanilla

      "What more can I say about Laneige's Lip Sleeping Mask that hasn’t been said? I use it nightly without exception to keep moisture locked into my lips. I actually have five in
