Happy Sunday! Hope everyone’s having a great weekend. It’s been a weekend of relaxation and reset before a very busy week and month of travel ahead. It’s been a while since I last shared my nighttime skincare routine and I’ve re-discovered so many new products since so wanted to share an update.
I’m no skincare expert and get a lot of my product recommendations from people like Grace Atwood and Marianna Hewitt but I have using all of the below products for at least a year and have only great things to say.
1| Fresh Beauty’s Soy Face Cleanser. This is one of my holy grails in LIFE. I’ve been obsessed with this cleanser for years and it’s something I can’t travel without. I truly don’t feel clean unless I use this cleanser at night and in the morning. I’ve had allergic reactions to a lot of makeup removers so it’s really important to me to have a cleanser that really cleans and clarifies and I always feel like this removes all of my makeup in one go.
2| Versed’s Press Restart Gentle Retinol Serum. I was introduced to Versed about a year ago and instantly fell in love with their products. It’s one of the more affordable brands in the space, which of course my wallet appreciates. This retinol is very gentle (hence the name) and I feel like I started to see results with 1-2 uses. So much so, that my sister started to notice on our daily FaceTimes and now she uses it as well.
3| Versed’s Vacation Eyes Brightening Eye Gel. I’m someone who ALWAYS has bags under my eyes, a brightening gel is a must for both morning and night.
4| Versed’s Smooth Landing Advanced Retinoid Eye Balm. The crows-feet are real now that I’m in my thirties 😩 and I target this eye balm directly in that area to soften lines + wrinkles.
5| Biossance’s Squalane + Marine Algae Eye Cream. I told you my eyes need a lot of work but after my gels + balms, I use this Biossance eye cream for extra moisture. I tend to get really dry around my eyes, especially in the winter so this is a crucial product for me.
6| Chanel’s Hydra Beauty Gel Creme. This is another long-time favorite product that I really wish my mom didn’t introduce me to because the price tag is a bit higher than I would like. I use a few dabs all over my face and neck for moisture before bed.
7| Biossance’s Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Firming Oil. Last but not least, I use Biossance’s oil to lock in all of the moisturizers and serums I used earlier in my routine. I don’t like to use oils/serums in my morning routine because I feel like it makes my makeup too oily, so I overdo it a bit at night. That all being said, I do think this makes me wake up feeling brighter when I use it.
Seven steps can definitely be a lot but for me, it’s super therapeutic and exactly what I need to transport my mind + body before bed. I’m always to learn about new products and what everyone else is using at night. Share you favorites in the comments.
