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

      As beauty editors, we dedicate our days to all things beauty. We try numerous products, pen articles, consult with professionals, and attend beauty-focused events after hours. Our days are filled, and our thoughts often revolve around beauty until we finally fall asleep at night. In fact, just before we drift off, we engage in our personal beauty routines. I'm not referring to a simple "everything shower" followed by a skincare regimen; I mean the bedside beauty habits—those comforting and calming items we keep on our nightstands. They help us relax and get ready for a restorative slumber, benefiting both our skin and hair. Additionally, whether intentional or not, they double as decorative pieces. Below, we provide a closer look at our current nighttime beauty obsessions, perfectly timed for the cozy winter months.

      "I typically have at least six hand creams and/or balms cluttering my bedside, so having only four moisturizers here is quite impressive. (Clearly, I’m not a minimalist.) This Sidia cream is lightweight and absorbs quickly, making it perfect to layer under a thicker cream. If you suffer from painfully cracked hands like I do in winter, trust me—you'll want to use both." — Schneider

      Dior Le Baume Revitalizing Multi-Use Balm

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

      Sisley-Paris Restorative Hand Cream

      "Next is hand cream number three! This thick formula from Sisley is a bit oilier than Dior’s, so I opt for it on nights when my hands are particularly desperate for moisture. It’s fantastic 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 a blend of vanilla, cardamom, and ginger), but it also hydrates my dry, flaky skin and eases my sore muscles. I can practically feel the day’s stress dissolve when I rub it into my skin." — Schneider

      Sisley Paris Hair Rituel Le Parfum

      "Apologies for being extra, but I believe wearing perfume to bed exudes sophistication. I can’t go to bed without a spritz, and this Sisley Paris hair fragrance makes me feel as if I’m going to sleep with a fresh salon blowout." — Schneider

      "I collect lip balms, so I'm surprised I only have one on my nightstand right now. However, this Sonsie balm provides such lasting hydration that it's genuinely all I need for soft, plump lips in the morning." — Schneider

      "If you're familiar with me, then you know my Lyma Laser Pro is my treasured possession. I use it every single night (you really need to for optimal results), so having it by my bedside serves as a reminder to turn it on." — Schneider

      Lemme Lemme Sleep Gummies

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

      Diptyque Sapin (Pine Tree) Candle

      Lighting a candle marks the start of my nighttime routine. I genuinely believe it signals my brain to slow down and transition into relaxation. Plus, it creates a warm ambiance, especially during the cold, dark winter months (living in the Midwest means it gets dark around 5 p.m., so I need all the cozy, warming light I can get). I adore Diptyque candles; they are eternally stylish, burn evenly, and have a heavenly scent. I had the brand's limited-edition Citrouille Candle on my bedside all fall and now I'm switching to the Sapin (Pine Tree), which smells fresh like an evergreen forest. It's the perfect scent for cozy reading.

      I suffer from TMJ, which keeps my jaw muscles tight. To alleviate jaw, neck pain, and headaches, I use this handy massage tool nearly every night before bed. It was designed with input from a TMJ specialist to gently relieve tension in the lower face, making a significant difference and helping me avoid nighttime jaw clenching. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use it.

      Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask - Vanilla

      What can I say about Laneige's Lip Sleeping Mask that hasn't already been said? I use this each night without fail to seal in moisture for my lips. I have five in my bedside drawer, but Vanilla is my go-to.

      Sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Rejuvenating Eye Cream
