Did you know while you're blissfully in the land of nod, your skin is working hard to restore itself, rebuilding collagen and repairing damage caused by sun and environmental factors?

Here's some new products worth trying to help amplify the process.

In Your Dreams, $20, frankbody.com/au.

A 2-in-1 scrub and soak, packed with soothing magnesium and gently exfoliating epsom salts to relieve sore muscles and smooth dry skin. The first step in your bedtime routine, it has a relaxing blend of lavender oil and chamomile to help reduce cortisol levels and melt away tension.

When you sleep, the blood flow to your skin and face increases, and this is generally how your skin repairs naturally. This sleeping mask provides immediate hydration, so skin looks brighter and healthier the next morning.

Sleep Pillow Mist, $30, thebodyshop.com.

Formulated with lavender essential oil, which is clinically proven by the European Sleep Centre to help you have a better night's sleep. Teaching your body to unwind after a big day can be a challenge, so calming scents such as lavender are helpful.
