Whether you're a nighttime book reader, an early-bird journaler or all of the above, you know that your nightstand is somewhat of a shrine when it comes to your bedroom decor. Usually home to anything from books to medications to lip balms and glasses, your nightstand plays a key role in your bedtime and morning routines. When it comes to your beauty routine, though, have you been using your nightstand to its full potential?
After a long day, sometimes the last thing we want to do post-shower is a 10 step skin-care and beauty routine in front of the mirror. But, with influencers maximizing their pre-bed beauty routine to minimize their morning getting ready needs with things like heatless curlers, mouth tape and self tanner, it's more popular than ever to use your nighttime routine to your advantage. So, what better way to streamline and supercharge your nighttime beauty circuit than by putting some extra thought into your nightstand product lineup? Ahead, NewBeauty senior editor-at-large Sarah Eggenberger walks us through her list of nightstand beauty essentials that you'll want to keep at an arm's length, as seen on Good Morning America.

Whether you're trying to unwind before bed or wake up your skin first thing in the morning, SkinGym's Cryo Chill Face Mask is a must-have for your nightstand beauty routine. Not only does the cooling sensation help soothe breakouts and inflammation, if you apply a serum to the skin and chill afterwards, the capillaries restrict, creating a pulling effect that helps ingredients penetrate deeper. To use, simply op it in the freezer and use it fabric side down or pop in the fridge and use it bead-side down!

A long-time favorite amongst celebrities like Sydney Sweeney, Laneige's Lip Sleeping Mask is one product your nightstand should never be without. The skin of the lips is among the thinnest on our body, yet it is the first to endure a multitude of environmental assaults from temperature fluctuations to makeup, sun exposure, wind and more. Moreover, the skin on the lips lacks sebaceous and sweat glands, and therefore cannot produce sebum or sweat for protection. The perfect cross between a jelly and a cream, Laneige's Lip Sleeping Mask doesn't just hydrate, it packs the lips with antioxidants and soothing ingredients for juicier, softer lips when you rise.
