Creating a Night Skincare Routine: Your Guide

Taking care of the largest organ in your body might sound like a difficult job. Did you know that it’s actually your skin? Considering that it covers our entire body and is our first line of defense, it doesn’t always get the love it deserves.  Because of the sheer amount of products on the shelves at large retailers and local drug stores, choosing the right night skincare routine can overwhelm you.

Begin Your Night Skincare Routine By Cleaning

Your skin heals itself during the night, and makeup can keep your skin from renewing. One night may not matter in the long run, but multiple nights of missing the first of these skincare routine steps can make a noticeable difference.

You can try a water-based make-up remover or cleanser. Facial clothes often come with 3 in 1 uses that cleanse, exfoliate and preserve moisture. A homemade remedy of coconut oil or olive oil mixed with aloe vera will remove makeup, dirt, and all the extra your face has come into contact with during the day. Begin your routine anytime in the evening, after your daily tasks are done, and you are ready to wind down. 

Tone Your Skin

Toner digs a little deeper than cleansers and helps to clean out the dirt and other contaminants clogging your pores. It also helps to tighten your pores and improve the tone of your skin. People with oily skin benefit the most from toning because some toners are designed to keep oil production lower. 

Moisturize Everywhere

When you don’t moisturize every day, you develop extremely dry or oily skin. These can lead to further skin conditions like acne or flaky skin. There are a variety of different ways you can properly moisturize your skin. Choosing the best one for you depends on the type of skin that you have.

Face masks are the best at moisturizing your skin because they penetrate deep into the skin and work faster. You can purchase a cream that you rub on the face or a sheet mask that you place on in one piece. Other moisturizers come in creams, gels, and oils. Depending on your skin type, you will want to choose one that helps dry skin, oily skin, or maintains your skin as is. Ask for samples of different products from the beauty counters before you buy to test them out.

Treat the Rest of the Body

When we focus on a simple night skincare routine, we often only focus on the face and the décolletage. The rest of our body needs care too. 

Instead of using harsh soaps that dry out the skin, find a natural, hydrating product like this seaweed soap at cartermillsoapcompany.com. When searching for a soap, look for words such as nourishing and high-quality ingredients.
