How to layer skin care products: Night time routine.

Hi Everyone! Welcome to my blog!


so, bed time is the time when our body and skin get healed, repaired and rejuvenated. So it is important to maintain a healthy and good skin care regime during the night. So, today, i am going to share my views on how to layer your skin products during the night time. do your night time routine at least 30 mins before going to bed, to let the products you apply absorb into the skin, or you will end up sticking everything to your pillow.
     


Makeup Remover



 SO the first thing you are gonna do is remove all your makeup. You have been wearing makeup all day long, and all the sebum and dirt get stuck to it by the end of the day, so its now time to remove it all. I already made a post on how to easily remove everyday makeup. i will leave the links down below. check it out, or just use the makeup remover that you are used to.

Cleanser



 After removing your makeup, cleanse your face using a mild face wash. No matter what brand, your makeup remover cannot remove 100% makeup, so its important to cleanse your face. Apply a pea sized amount, work lather in circular motions, Rinse off. Pat dry.

Toner



 Use a toner to remove any leftover makeup or the cleanser residue. A toner is very gentle and will close your pores tight and soothe your skin making it feel fresh.


Treatment



 Next it is time to use a treatment. If you have acne prone skin, hyper pigmentation or any other skin problems, use a cream  based ointment and save the gel based ones for the day time.
Use them only if they are  prescribed by your dermatologist/doctor. You want the treatment to get absorbed first, and work it's magic before applying anything else. Always consult your doctor before you use any medical treatments on your skin.  If you have flawless skin, then you can skip this step.


Eye Cream


 Then use an under eye cream. Use ring finger to gently apply it and the dab it and then go in outward motion to spread it.


Serum


 Use a serum before using a moisturizer because these seem to be thinner than the moisturizer and they will absorb way faster than a moisturizer. There are different kinds of serums in the market. For brightening, anti-ageing, pigmentation, acne scaring, smoothing, etc.  SO use one that you require and suits your skin.

Moisturizer


 It's time for moisturizer. It is important to use one. It will help make your skin soft and keep it hydrated. Even if you have oily skin, you must use one. Use an oil-free one or a water based one. You might wanna change the consistency depending on the climatic conditions of the area that you live in.


Lip balm


 Finally use a lip balm or Vaseline petroleum jelly. Apply with your ring finger and gently dab.

Apply the leftover lip balm or Vaseline over you upper lash line and lashes to promote lash growth in the long run. Doing so will definitely make your lashes stronger and less prone to breakage.

Your bed time is the time where your skin repairs, heals and rejuvenates. So, it is important to follow a strict routine at night. No matter how tired you are, you must follow a routine strictly. Never ever sleep with makeup. By doing so, you are yourself inviting skin problems to you.
So. take care of yourself and your skin.
