A night skincare routine includes six easy steps which won’t feel like an extra task added to your day once you start noticing the amazing results.
Step 1: Remove MakeupÂ
Sleeping with your makeup on is one of the biggest skincare sins you are doing. Wash your face and remove your makeup with a cleanser, it helps to remove the dirt accumulated on your face. It is advised to do ‘Double Cleansing’ as it is considered one of the most effective ways to remove your stubborn makeup. Massage your face with virgin coconut oil and then use a cotton pad to remove the makeup product. For dry skin you should use virgin coconut oil or olive oil to lift your makeup products and micellar water works best for oily skin to remove the makeup.
Step 2: CleanserÂ
The next step in your night skincare routine is cleansing. After removing the makeup, it is necessary to get rid of all the dirt, excess oil and makeup residue sitting on your skin. Opt for a cleanser suitable for your skin type. Take a pea-sized amount of cleanser on your palm and massage your face with it, don’ forget to focus on the T-zone. After massaging your face, wash it thoroughly with lukewarm water.
Step 3: Toner
Many consider toner as an insignificant product of the night skincare routine and skip it. But the truth is toner is as important as any other product of your skincare regime. Toner is used during the day and at night. It helps to shrink the pores, removes dirt and rehydrates your skin. Once you wash your face with a cleanser it soaks up all the healthy oil of your skin. Toner replenishes your dehydrated skin with dewy agents. Pour a little bit on a cotton round and gently apply all over the face and neck area for fresh and dewy-looking skin.
Step 4: Serum Â
Do you have acne or wrinkle-prone skin? If yes, then this skincare routine step is vital for you. Depending on the needs and type of your skin, you can choose between hydrating, brightening or other types of serums. After toning, apply serum to your face for better results. Pour a few drops and apply it with a cotton pad. The best way to apply serum to your face is through gentle tapping motions, as it ensures better absorption.
Step 5: Eye CreamÂ
The areas around your eyes are very delicate and the only spot where you can see fine lines significantly. Skin ageing problems like wrinkles, loose skin and spots can be cured with the help of eye cream. Regularly applying an eye cream under the eye bags reduces wrinkles, puffiness and tired-looking eyes. Incorporating a good eye cream to your routine and using it regularly, will relax and moisturize the eye area.
Step 6: MoisturiserÂ
Moisturising is without a doubt the most important step of your skincare routine. Moisturising your skin makes your skin look dewy and supple. At night your skin becomes acidic which results in dry skin, using a moisturiser will help you to restore the vital oil agents. Depending on your skin type, choose a product that is ideal for your skin. For oily skin opt for gel-based moisturiser whereas for dry skin you can use cream-based moisturiser.
