RING IN THE NIGHT According to the National Sleep Foundation, more than 71 percent of Americans get less than the recommended eight hours of sleep a night. Sleep deprivation can increase the risk for obesity, diabetes and heart disease. New York fitness expert Lisa Wheeler’s remedy: “Set your alarm for when it’s time to get ready for bed. At first you’ll probably turn it off and go back to what you’re doing. But eventually you’ll start managing your time better and get to bed earlier.”

SLICK ON SUEDE
Makeup artist SCOTT BARNES’S LipSuede ($24), that is. His new lipsticks are as soft and supple as their namesake. At selected Saks Fifth Avenue stores.

LATHER WITH ORGANICS
INNERSENSE Hair Bath shampoos ($22 each) gently cleanse hair with a detergent derived from apricots, and conditioners ($25 each) moisturize with natural emollients like rice-bran oil.

CONCEAL WITH A WAND
VALERIE BEVERLY HILLS Magic Wand Concealer ($35) unleashes powerful forces: antiseptic tea-tree oil and nourishing vitamins A and E. But its real charm? Cake-free coverage. http://valeriebeverlyhills.com/catalog/default.php.

DRINK IN GOOD SCENTS
Perfumer MANDY AFTEL used her taste buds to create Aftelier Hydrosols ($20-$30 each), distilled waters with trace amounts of aromatic plant oils such as passion-fruit oil. Add four drops to a glass of water for a taste of aromatherapy. aftelierhydrosols.com.

PUMP A FRENCH SOAP
As much as we love a good old-fashioned block of Marseille soap, we were ecstatic to discover a liquid version in six scents ($19 each) from LA COMPAGNIE DE PROVENCE MARSEILLE. Put a bottle next to your kitchen or bathroom sink.lcdpmarseille.com.
