At the end of a busy day, a meticulous evening skincare routine not only helps us to relax, but also to wake up the next day with a glowing face. A good evening skincare routine allows the skin to repair and regenerate during the night, preparing it for a new day. Here’s a simple set of evening skincare steps that will help you sleep well overnight and glow in the morning.
Remove Makeup
Firstly, use a gentle make-up remover to thoroughly remove make-up and dirt that has accumulated on your face throughout the day. This step is crucial because only a thoroughly cleansed skin can better absorb the nutrients from your skincare products.
Cleansing
After removing your make-up, use a cleanser to deep cleanse your skin, removing any remaining impurities and oils and keeping your pores clear. Choose a cleanser that suits your skin type and rinse off with lukewarm water.
Toner
Use a toner to balance your skin’s PH level and help your skincare products to be better absorbed by your skin. Gently patting the toner on will also enhance the skin’s vitality.
Essence
Evening is the prime time for skin repair. The highly effective ingredients in serums penetrate deep into the skin to target skin problems. Choose the right serum for your skin condition.
Eye Cream
The skin under the eyes is very delicate, so use an eye cream to minimise dark circles and puffiness and prevent fine lines. Apply eye cream gently to avoid fine lines caused by pulling.
Face Cream
Choose a nourishing cream to lock in moisture and keep your skin hydrated all night long. It also creates a protective film to shield your skin from external aggressors.
Sleeping Mask (optional)
If your skin is very dry or needs extra care, you can choose to use a sleep mask. Apply a thin layer of Sleeping Mask and it will provide continuous nourishment to your skin during the night.
Caution
- Give your skin enough time to absorb the products after each skincare step.
- Finish your skincare routine at least one hour before bedtime to avoid lying down to sleep before the product is fully absorbed.
- Maintaining good sleeping habits will help your skin’s repair process.
With the above step-by-step evening skincare routine, you can not only effectively relieve the fatigue of the day, but also allow your skin to get enough rest and repair during the night. This way, when you open your eyes in the morning, you will be able to welcome a new day full of energy and radiance.
