Bedside Beauty Essentials
Are you one of those people that complete all the beauty/skincare routine before going to bed? If you are not in that group, you might have some products on your bedside table, right? With those bedside beauty essentials, you can complete the last steps of your beauty routine.
Even though I complete most of my beauty routine just before going to bed, there are some steps I leave till the very last minute, like applying hand cream or lip balm. That's why I have some of the essentials on my bedside table. They are always there and I can't remember a day that I haven't used them.
Bedside Beauty Essentials
Hand Cream
If you are dealing with dry skin, you probably have a hand cream everywhere. Hand cream is one of my everyday essentials and I can't skip applying it, otherwise my hands will get so dry instantly. Having a hand cream on the bedside table means, I can leave that step till I go to bed. Also it will absorb properly and there won't be hand cream marks on all over the place. Depending on the season, my hand cream preferences change and you should change too. Choosing a hand cream depending on the season is important!
Lip Balm
Hi, my name is Ela and I have a confession to make... Well I am not sure if it is a confession! I've always suffered with dry lips and if I don't use lip balm daily, my lips get so dry that I end up peeling the dry bits... I carry lip balm in my bag, I have it in my makeup drawer, bathroom and of course next to my bed. Whenever I feel like my lips are dry, it is the first thing I reach to. It is best to have a heavier lip balm at night, it will make the lips softer and better protected. Also at night when I drink water, I reapply to make sure that they will be soft in the morning.
Face Mist
Sometimes in the mornings I like to stay in bed a little longer and check social media. Face Mist comes handy then. I can refreshen up without leaving the bed straight away after waking up. Also it prepares my skin to the upcoming skincare routine.
Water
You might wonder why the water is on the list, well firstly you never know when you will get thirsty. Second water is one of the essentials for a beautiful skin. If you minimise the amount of water you drink, then you will see the effects of on your skin. Also when the heating is on, the hydration level in the air drops and it gets dry, so you're more likely to get thirsty. So a glass of water on the bedside table can save you a trip to the kitchen.
These are the things I like to keep on my bedside table. It is clutter free and only the essentials you might need at night. You don't need so many products on the bedside table, leave some place for a book as well! Also if you're dealing with insomnia then having a sleep spray would be useful too.
What are your bedside beauty essentials? What are the things that you have to have on your bedside table?

This is such a lovely post and pretty much the same as my bedside table! I always have to have hand cream! I couldn't live without it! Water is so important! I don't get how people can go to bed without a drink?! <a href="http://www.fixmeinfortyfive.com/" rel="nofollow">Fix Me In Forty Five - A Beauty & Lifestyle Blog</a> <a href="https://www.bloglovin.com/blog/12020835" rel="nofollow">Blog Lovin' </a> // <a href="https://instagram.com/staceylouiseox_/" rel="nofollow">Instagram</a> xx
I can't go to bed without applying hand cream, it is a must-have! x
Which face mist is your favorite? You also love La Roche Posay, right? :) Nati xx www.simplyartdicted.com
La Roche Posay is good when my skin feel extremely oily and I'm having breakouts. Avene is good when I want some hydration :) x
Ok, thanks so much for your tips!
These are some great items to keep bedside. I recently started to get really chapped lips this year and found a sample of a Hanelei Lip Balm that came in an etsy bag awhile back- what a life saver! It is thick and stays on forever and so moisturizing. I put it on every night before I go to bed and it has made such a difference. I think it is a good idea to put it on my nightstand with some of my other essentials like you have suggested that way I can use throughout the night. Thanks for sharing! xx Lauren http://www.blameitonbarneys.com
I prefer to use heavy duty products before going to bed, at least then they stay on the skin longer and in the morning my skin feels softer! x
Lip balm and hand cream are a must!!! I keep hand creams everywhere in my house, I hate when my hands get really dry and it's a step I always do before sleeping. I also keep my sleeping cream which I use twice a week! x Yiota pinkdaisyloves.blogspot.com
I am the same. I really hate dry hands and they are everywhere :) x
These are definite musts! Love the products you picked! =) - Cielo <a HREF="http://www.mermaidinheels.com" rel="nofollow">Mermaid in Heels</A>

Burts Bees is one of my favourite as well!
Ughhh - dry lips are the worst. It's so hard to remember to apply lip balm throughout the day. I love having my diffuser on with some lavendar as well. It really does help to fall asleep... after putting on lots of lip balm haha www.lindseyginge.com
I make sure to apply a thick layer of lip balm right before sleeping then in the mornings my lips feel softer :)
Hand cream and lip balm are must haves for me! www.themakeupaficionado.com
Yes!
I only keep a hand cream on my nightstand. I also always apply lip balm before going to bed, but I keep it in the bathroom (I use the Nuxe Reve de Miel - isn't it amazing?). <a href="http://carolinapage.eu/" rel="nofollow">http://carolinapage.eu</a>
I wish I had started using Nuxe Reve de Miel earlier, it is amazing!
Lip balm is definitely a big one for me, especially at the moment with the weather being so much colder! I also always have a glass of water, even if I don't end up drinking it, it's a big comfort for me to know it's there for some reason! <a href="http://www.musingsandmore.co.uk" rel="nofollow">Musings & More </a>
Sometimes I end up waking up at night and I always take a sip of water then fall asleep.
I also have dry lips. A lip balm, tissues and hand cream are my must have items. www.mydailywear.co.uk
Lip balm is a saviour in winter!
I'm a huge fan of the Avene face mist and always use the Nuxe lip balm overnight too :) love the packaging of this one you have! Jasmine xx <a href="http://www.jasminetalksbeauty.com/" rel="nofollow"><i> Jasmine Talks Beauty </i> </a>
I recently started using the Nuxe lip balm and I'm loving it. It is thick and in the mornings my lips feel so soft :) I think it is the 20th year edition one x
Just like you I have very dry lips, so lip balm is a mandatory step before going to bed! I also use the Nuxe lip balm, it is the best. And you are so right about water, it's really useful to have some at hand because it's essential to drink lots of it, and indeed it prevents from having to get up during the night if you're feeling thirsty! As for non-beauty bedside table essentials, I'd say a book is always a must-have :D Julia x Last post: Luxury Nude Manicure | http://juliaspeaksbeauty.blogspot.co.uk/2016/11/manicure-moment-luxury-nude.html
I recently started using Nuxe lip balm and I can say that it is the best one I've ever used! Ah yes book for sure :) x

Face mists come handy, especially when you wake up in the middle of the night and you feel like needing hydration! Followed you back x
I always keep hand cream and lip balm by my bed - you never know when you're going to get dry hands or lips! Haha x <a href="http://www.itsjessiejane.com/" rel="nofollow">♡ itsjessiejane ♡</a>
Totally agree! x
These are some great picks Ela! I always keep these things beside my bed and include them in my night time ritual before bed. Love that Nuxe Lip Balm too! X Anjelique <a href="http://www.anjelique.com.au" rel="nofollow">http://anjelique.com.au</a> | snapchat: anjeliquetv
Nuxe lip balm is the best! x
I love peeling dry bits...it's a bad habit and my parents always snap at me for it LOL! Hand cream is a must and I need a super thick one now, my hands are so dry after a shower now! Lip balm is an absolute must for me too!
I'm the same and sometimes people just hit my hand to stop it :)
I have a foot cream next to my bed, that is the only thing I won't do in advance, simply because I cant be bothered to walk around with slippery feet. Other than that everything stays in my bathroom, or else my kids would get hold of it. <a href="http://lindalibraloca.com/" rel="nofollow">Linda, Libra, Loca: Beauty, Baby and Backpacking</a>
I always apply the foot cream right after the shower, let it soak a little bit before moving then put on some socks. It seems to work fine that way!
I might try that next time.
These are great bedside essentials and pretty much how mine looks too...Lol I have used the Avene face mist in the past and really like it a lot. I have been curious about the Nuxe lip balm. I want to try it. Ann-Marie | http://facetocurls.com
I recently started using the Nuxe lip balm and it is perfect for the cold weather. It is thick and it really protects the lips and in the morning my lips feel softer. You should try it!
These are some great essentials to add in your bedside table. I also do have a habit bit of peeling the dry bits off my lips and never really kept one lip balm near bedside. I am gonna add that one now! -Karishma http://yourbeautyjournal.com/studio-gear-comestics-pro-t-l-s-mascara-gel-liner-and-brush-review/
Peeling the lips is really bad, they hurt a lot and sometimes bleed. I hope I will stop doing that :)
Burts Bees lip balms are good!
