How to glow up overnight
So are you ready to glow up overnight with some serious top to toe pampering? Elevate your beauty game with the ultimate glow up overnight guide….
Hair
Scalp massage and scrub
Massaging the scalp increases blood flow to the hair follicles and improved circulation means better nutrient delivery to your hair roots which means healthier and stronger hair growth for you!
If you’re hair is thinning or you want to give your hair volume a boost, start to give yourself regular scalp massages to notice a difference.
While your doing it, gently scrub the scalp with a soft tooth hair brush to help lift away dead skin cells, excess oil, and product build-up. This cleansing action can prevent clogged follicles, allowing for even more healthier hair growth.
Deep Conditioning
Apply a nourishing hair mask or conditioner that you can leave on for 10-15 minutes to restore your hair and for extra shiny locks. Overnight treatments can intensely hydrate and revitalise your hair. The Kerastase Genesis Masque delivers intense hydration and nourishment for your hair, the perfect addition to your overnight glow-up routine.
Body
Body brushing
Before your shower or bath, do some dry brushing on your body to stimulate circulation and exfoliate dead skin cells.
Cleanse and Exfoliate
Thoroughly cleansing your skin to remove impurities. Follow it up with a gentle exfoliation to slough away dead skin cells and reveal a fresher complexion.

Massage cuticle oil into your nails to nourish them overnight so that they are ready for extra care in the morning and ready for filing some nail polish to finish them off.
Sleep
Quality Sleep is one of the biggest boosts to your overnight glow up – having at least 7-8 hours of quality sleep will rejuvenate your mind, body and skin leaving you feeling extra fresh in the morning.
How to glow up overnight on the inside too
An overnight glow-up is fantastic, but complementing your external pampering with looking after what you consume and glowing up from the inside out will leave you radiant, and gives you a holistic transformation to glow from within.
Diet and Hydration
Nutrient-Rich Foods
While there’s no one-size-fits-all diet for a glow-up, a balanced and nutritious diet rich in greens, fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats can contribute to clearer skin, healthier hair, and an overall radiant appearance.
Hydration
The benefits of drink plenty of water throughout the day are endless. You should aim to have at least six glasses of water a day to keep your body functioning properly – and most important of all – your focus clear.
Mental and Emotional Well-being
Stress Management
Practice stress-relieving techniques like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises. Lowering stress levels can reduce skin issues like breakouts and dullness.
Positive Mindset
Cultivate a positive mindset. Embracing positivity boosts self-confidence and radiates an inner glow that’s contagious.
All of these ideas combined will not only help you glow up overnight, but also nurture a sustainable radiance that reflects your inner health, happiness, and well-being. True beauty radiates when you prioritise both inner and outer care!
