My Nighttime Beauty Routine! 🌙☁️

Developing and maintaining a nighttime beauty routine is crucial to the overall health of your skin. I’ll be honest and say that I have struggled for a few years with getting into the habit of sticking to a regimen. I can’t tell you how many nights I’ve gone to bed with a full face of makeup on because I didn’t take any routine seriously. I would wake up to dry, flaky, dull skin! But thru a lot of trial and error, I’ve been able to find a routine that works best for my skin. After all, a good regimen tackles skin issues before the regenerative process of sleep begins, therefore giving you the best beauty sleep!

Without further ado, here is my routine and holy grail products that keep my face clean, hydrated and soft, and overall, looking & feeling well-rested!

Actual Beauty Sleep!

Lack of sleep not only affects your energy levels, but your skin as well! I notice that my dark circles are more apparent when I don’t get a good full eight hours of sleep or more. Not getting a good amount of sleep impairs circulation, which also cause my skin to look more dull and less supple!

To ensure I get my best beauty sleep, I use OLLY Beauty Sleep as part of my nighttime beauty routine. I tend to stress out a lot just as I crawl into bed. I overthink anything and everything i.e. where am I going in life, is my dog happy, did I eat right today, am I making an impact, etc. 😂OLLY Beauty Sleep has ingredients like L-theanine which helps my mind relax and let go of stress. Plus, it works quickly so I fall asleep faster and wake up refreshed and beautiful!

Exfoliate

I try not to exfoliate every night as it can strip my skin of its natural oils. Trust me, I learned that the hard way. But when I do, I use Glossier Solution It literally does what it says! It clears up my skin with powerful acids and makes my complexion more even. I also do a lip scrub from time to time, especially during colder months. I dabble in scrubs, but I often use French Girl Rose Lip Polish.

Cleanse & Tone

Removing every ounce of makeup is the most important step of my routine (and it should be for yours, too!) I have combination skin that’s oily and sensitive, so I love using Fresh Rose Cleansing Foam to remove makeup. It’s pretty gentle on my skin and it smells GREAT. I follow up with my toner of choice – Son & Park Beauty Water . It’s easy on my skin and leaves it supple & soft, but clean.

I also pair an OLLY Flawless Complexion gummy during this step! I’m horrible at taking my vitamins and any supplements throughout the day, so I tend to do this at nighttime. This gummy specifically targets my skin to work from the inside out, to help fight free radicals & support a clean complexion.

Serum

Serums are my favorite! They’re potent and target problem areas with ease. I tend to dabble in this category, too. Right now, I’m using Pure MD Triple Threat, which is packed with antioxidants, and I’m liking it so far! My skin is pretty damn smooth.

Hydrate

Glossier Prime Riche is simply heaven-sent. As my last topical product in my nighttime beauty routine, I love that this cream has calming notes of lavender oil. I’ve been committed to this cream for almost 3 years now! It glides on my skin and settles in quite nicely with its whipped texture.

When it comes to skincare routines, I’ve easily learned that not every product works for everyone. Trial and error, baby! You can find all my skincare favorites at Sephora and sleep gummies at OLLY. Happy beauty routining! 🙂
