As ridiculous as it sounds, if I don’t do my usual night-time skincare routine, I’ll know about it in the morning.
Whether that’s waking up with angry spots that could resemble a second head, or noticing my mood isn’t the best, missing out on those five minutes of pampering the night before can ruin my day.
That’s why I’ll shout about self-care from the rooftops because I’m a firm believer everyone needs to create their own at-home spa every now and again to take away the day’s stress or worries.
But I know just how expensive it can be, especially these days when we are so easily influenced to buy the latest trending products from high-end brands such as Elemis or Neom.
Winter Skincare: How to Combat Dry Skin
Yet thanks to Aldi, there’s no need to cause serious harm to your bank account when it comes to wanting a calming and nourishing pamper routine before your beauty sleep.
From a facial oil to an overnight plumping face mask, the supermarket’s Lacura Sleep Range left me in shock.
Most items offer the same luxury results as the big brands (often used in professional spas), without the big prices.
Lacura Overnight Face Oil (£3.99, 30ml)
One of the supermarket's newest additions to its Lacura Sleep Range is the Overnight Facial Oil.
It’s made with a “deeply hydrating” formula and enriched with almond, jojoba, peach and cranberry oils, similar to Neom’s Perfect Night's Sleep Face Oil priced at £46.
As someone who has acne, I was hesitant to try it as my skin can be sensitive but I couldn’t resist – I’ve been using the luxury oil for several days now and it’s not irritated my skin at all.
It’s not a heavy oil either, so it absorbs into my skin as soon as it’s applied.
Plus, I’m pretty sure its incredible scent has been the reason for numerous deep sleeps lately.
Lacura Overnight Plumping Face Mask (£5.99, 50ml)
Returning to Aldi’s Lacura Sleep Range is the “specially formulated” Overnight Plumping Face Mask, with the “powerful properties” of star arvensis, hyaluronic acid and speedwell extract.
It’s said to be a dupe of the Elemis Peptide Plumping Pillow Facial (£59, 50ml) meaning you could save a staggering £53.01.
But is it worth the huge price reduction? Of course it is – similar to the Lacura facial oil, it has an irresistible scent and sinks into the skin straight away, ready to be washed off the morning after.
It has a silky texture so it glided onto my skin very well – my face felt plump and smooth even at the end of the next day.
Lacura Sleep Pillow Mist (£2.49, 100ml)
If you’ve been wanting to get your hands on the M&S Apothecary Sleep Pillow Mist (£7.50, 150ml) but it’s a little above your budget at the moment, the Lacura Sleep Pillow Mist is a great alternative (and you can save 60%).
Not only will Aldi’s pillow mist save you £5.01, but the results are just as good.
I’ve been spraying this on my pillow in the morning and as I get into bed at the end of the day, I can still smell the hints of lavender, eucalyptus, vetiver and jasmine.
I’m certain it’s been helping me drift off to sleep easier.

Sleep Pulse Point Oil and Lacura Sleep Hand Lotion
Lacura’s Sleep Pulse Point Oil (£2.49, 10ml) and Sleep Hand Lotion (£1.99, 75ml) are also part of the new collection.
Having never used a pulse point oil before, I had no idea what to expect and in all honesty, I had to go away and do a little research.
However, I've been using it consistently for around a week now and although I’ve not seen a dramatic difference when it comes to calming my mind and body, I do like the ritual.
I think it’s worth applying just for the heavenly scent and who knows, it could be the missing product from your night-time routine.
It’s made from essential oils and includes aromas of lavender, eucalyptus, vetiver and jasmine.
For those with dry hands (especially as we are in autumn), I’m pretty sure the Lacura Sleep Hand Lotion is going to be your saviour throughout the colder months.
I was stunned to discover it costs less than £2 because it has the luxury results (similar to Clarins and Cowshed) without the hefty price tag.
Even better, it doesn’t leave your hands feeling greasy and soaks in straight away.
The moisturising ointment is also scented with lavender, vetiver, jasmine and eucalyptus – making it the ideal bedtime hand cream to soothe your senses.

Other products that have been released as part of Aldi’s Lacura Sleep Range are the Sleep Candle (£3.49, 205g) and Sleep Reed Diffuser (£3.49, 100ml).
The duo are infused with a bouquet of tranquil rose and musk with calming scents of lavender.
Aldi’s Sleep Range launched in stores on October 17 and is available while stocks last.
