The hours we spend sleeping are some of the most important for our skin. It's the time for our body to repair damage done during our waking hours, and those hours can really make our skin look and feel its best. We've compiled a few tips and tricks for you to put to good use while you sleep.

Use a sleep mist.
If you're one of those people who just finds it extremely difficult to fall asleep when your head hits the pillow, try a sleep mist. Studies have shown that if you get between 7-9 hours of sleep a night, your skin looks dramatically better ... so why not help the process along? We love Molton Brown Relaxing Yuan Zhi Mist ($38 at moltonbrown.com), which seriously creates lights out within 15 minutes, tops.

Use a good lip balm.
Prevent chapped, cracked, dry and an otherwise unsightly pout by slicking on a good lip balm before bed. Look for one with Vitamin E, which really works to moisturize the skin, and for one that stays put for over 4 hours. That way, your lips won't feel too dry when you wake up in the morning.

Drink a glass of water before bed.
The best way to hydrate your skin? Good old-fashioned H20, of course! A glass of water before bed can really start to bring the moisture out from within, giving you a gorgeously glowy appearance.

Wear night cream.
While you should wear moisturizer during the day, too, look for a heavier one to wear while you're in dreamland. A good night cream erases the damage of the day, making skin firmer and more resilient, and thus easier to face the challenges of daytime hours!

Great hair? It can most certainly be yours with the tips below. We promise, everyone's got a hair model in them somewhere--and these tips will help you to let yours out!

Use a deep conditioning mask.
Treat dry, stressed-out, unmanageable strands with a deep conditioner. Use it once a week--left on for anywhere from 5-15 minutes, depending on the mask and its instructions, it will seriously make hair shine. Try Kerastase Masquintense For Thick Hair ($60 at kerastase-usa.com), which drenches your hair in softness and shine.

Let hair air dry before blowdrying.
Want to cut down on your drying time and actually make hair look better at the same time? Let it air dry first! Give it anywhere from 20-40 minutes after showering so you're not drying super-soaked strands--and it will actually make your tresses look so shiny you'll be amazed.

Use a dry shampoo in between washes.
First of all, stop washing your hair every day! Some of the natural oils in your hair actually make it look prettier and shinier! But on those days when you feel like you should wash but just can't make yourself do it, try a dry shampoo. A little shaken onto the roots and combed through your strands will let you prolong your next washing by at least a day or two.

Just because it's summertime and most people go on fabulous vacations, it doesn't mean you have to or even want to! But that also doesn't mean you can't have a totally amazing STAYcation! We've come up with some totally fabulous ideas for you to have a beauty-filled staycation right from your own home.

We can talk until we're blue in the face about what to do with your hair, your makeup, your nails ... but sometimes it's just better to hear it straight from the pros, right? We rounded up some tried-and-true tips from some of our favorite makeup artists, hairstylists and manicurists just for you. Check out each pro's number one beauty tip!

"When lining the lips, apply lipstick or gloss BEFORE liner. Dry lips can make it difficult to apply liner evenly." - Kayleen McAdams (her sister is celebrity Rachel McAdams!)

"Use an illuminator on the cheeks under foundation for beautiful, long-lasting radiance." - Rosalina Da Silva, key makeup artist for movies like TRON and Sucker Punch

"Use a good skincare routine, including sunscreen, before blending a small amount of liquid foundation onto your face for a radiant glow." - Robin Siegel, makeup artist for celebrities including Kyra Sedgwick and the former makeup artist for Friends

"ALWAYS never say 'always and never' when it comes to makeup. Use your imagination! Have fun with your look! Remember, makeup is the ultimate disposable accessory ... it washes off!" - Gregory Arlt, Director of Makeup Artistry for M.A.C Cosmetics

"Always keep a hair elastic, pen and four bobby pins in your purse. You can be hair ready in 5 minutes for anything. The possibilities are endless with those three items." - Janine Jarman, former contestant on Shear Genius

"Don't worry if you are crazy messy when you paint your nails. Only worry about getting two thin, even coats on them. Let nails dry overnight, then after a hot shower, brush nails with olive oil and a toothbrush. A crisp, perfect paint job will appear!" - Nonie Creme, founder of cult favorite butter LONDON

"When it comes to makeup, be willing to try something new and step out of your normal routine without compromising your confidence! If you feel good about the way you look, it will show through in more ways than just the products on your face." - Jenna Menard, Clinique Global Color Artist

"If you use a quarter tablespoon of vinegar in your shampoo, it will act as a natural clarifying shampoo to remove buildup from product." - Ted Gibson, celebrity hairstylist (for Ashley Greene, Anne Hathaway, Brooklyn Decker and countless others!)

"For fast, flawless skin, always do all eye makeup first. Because excess eyeshadow falls under the eyes, it's easier to wipe off the mess on bare skin and then apply your normal concealer or foundation. It's a bigger headache to try to blend fallen eyeshadow onto made-up skin." - Mai Quynh, celebrity makeup artist (she's made up Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez and more gorgeous starlets)

"When waving your hair, hold the ends stationary while wrapping the hair around the iron as opposed to regular curling. This makes for a more natural, beachy look." - Alex Polillo, hairstylist for Andy Lecompte Salon
