Evening Skincare Routine

I have had a skincare routine since I was in high school. I always take my makeup off before I go to bed, and strongly encourage everyone to do the same because you don't want to sleep with all of your makeup on your face plus all the sweat and grime from the day and then put that on your pillow to sit on your face all night. No, just no. Even if all you do is take off your makeup and don't do any of the other steps, thats better than nothing.

I always start with a double cleanse. Unless I didn't wear makeup that day. For my first cleanse I like to use a cleansing balm; the one I use right now is from Deziskin, Skin so Balm. This removes all your makeup and a little goes a long way.

For my second cleanse I go back and forth between my Sanitas Lemon Cream Cleanser and the Beta Clarifying Cleanser. The lemon cream cleanser is a gentle cleanser, and the beta clarifying cleanser is an active cleanser. I switch off everyother day.

I usually go in with the Sanitas Brightening Peel Pads for my toner, but my skin has been kind of dry lately, so I've actually been using the Anua Heartleaf 77 Soothing Toner from Amazon to help my skin feel more hydrated.

With serums, I again switch off between the Skin Soothing Concentrate and the Collagen Elastin serum, from Sanitas.

For my moisturizer, I have been using the Deziskin, Agua Fresca which has been great for my dry skin lately, it’s a gel formula so it feels like it melts into your skin and is hydrating; it doesn't just sit on top of your face.

The last two items I apply are eye cream and a lip moisturizer. Currently I either use the Laneige Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Eye Cream or I will wear eye patches for 15 or so minutes. For eye patches I like the Water Drench one's from Peter Thomas Roth or the ones from Uncommon Beauty. And for lips I've really been liking the Slick Salve by Topicals.
