Night time skincare routine

Hey there! Hi! Hellllooooooo… Are you listening??? It’s time for your night time skincare routine 😉 C’mon let’s try to take out a few minutes for ourselves, I know I know scrolling instagram feels more interesting right now. But trust me you’ll feel wonderful if you go and do something for yourself. Even if it involves just wiping off that makeup, cleansing your face and applying a little moisturiser.
Ooohhh goody! My pep talk worked 😂 
Okay let’s tackle this together 💪💪
So let’s start with cleansing our faces!! 

  • Cleanser
Face wash for my night time skincare routine

I like to use Nivea’s daily face wash with Vitamin C and E. I have been using it for a few years now and I honestly lovvvvvvveee it! You gotta try it, it’s super gentle on the skin and honestly it evens the skin tone so 💃💃
I double cleanse only when I have been out and about all day. Rosehip or Grapeseed oil as an oil cleanser works like magic. I sometimes want to buy a Korean oil cleanser but then these oils do such an amazing job I just don’t feel the need for a “ proper oil cleanser “ Also if you don’t want to double cleanse your whole face, just focus on the problematic areas like I double cleanse my nose daily. Does that rid my nose off of sebaceous filaments??? Welllllll that’s a story for another time 

  • Exfoliation
Exfoliator for my night time skincare routine


I am loving Wishful’s enzyme scrub… OMG have you tried it? I am in love with it. It works wonders on your skin. I usually use this when I want to exfoliate my skin and give it that glowy pink look and let’s not forget super clean face. And it’s super gentle on your skin. What I do is I use this for a few minutes before cleansing my face. Afterwards I just use a very gentle face wash and I am sparkling.
My Hubby also approves of this product and coming from him that means A-lot

  • Toner

Okay now that we’ve washed our faces and have wet our sleeves and the front of our shirts. Let’s tone our faces. I love fancy products but what I love more are products that are cheap but still effective. So I use simple rose water, it’s affordable and it refreshes the skin . It comes in a very unaesthetic bottle but hey it’s pretty cheap and lasts you a long time. Also it does its job, it refreshes your skin and even outs the skin tone. So cha ching!!! 

Although, I am quite curious what toner do you use? 
  • ACTIVES

Now that our faces are damp, this is the perfect time to start applying your actives.
I haven’t been using any actives lately so I’ll wait while you finish off this step. At this point I use Hyaluronic acid so I am going to go slather a good amount of it on my face.

I have been using The Ordinary’s Hyaluronic acid but frankly I am not a huge fan of it so

if you have any suggestions, shoot.. 

I am focusing on moisturising my face so I use alot of products that’ll serve that purpose so after 2 pumps of hyaluronic acid slathered on my face and neck, I wait about 2 minutes ( in real time that’s 30 secs). I go in with my snail mucin Essence.

Favourite korean product for my night time skincare routine

RANT STARTING IN 3 2 1 

….. when I first purchased this I remember using it a few times before deciding it wasn’t for me. It didn’t do anything for my skin, I didn’t feel like it gave me any extra hydration or gave me a glow. A glass skin- nada!


But then after a year of it sitting on my shelf collecting dust, I tried it again (out of boredom really) and I loved it. I guess I just needed to give it some time and my skin needed to be really dry in order for me to see that this product really works. So since my skin was lacking luster and felt way too dry I picked the snail mucin and I haven’t looked back. 

RANT OVER 

So Snail Mucin Essence, it’s not super cheap but once you invest in it, it lasts you a long time. 
Of course this is followed by the snail mucin cream.. I mean of course …. 
Again this product is amazing for hydrating your skin. Your skin is glowing after applying it and the part I love is it lasts you a LONG TIME … value for money …. 
I use this and after waiting for about 2 minutes I reapply this. 2 applications is the trick. 

Now to seal this I use the rice cream which is a bit thick.
Mosituriser for my nightime skincare routine

Its from I’m from and honestly it’s a game changer. Snail mucin essence and cream in itself can’t really hydrate your skin, they are too lightweight so this product *chefs kiss* this product really locks in all the moisture and I kid you not you wake up in the morning with soft plump and glowing skin. Sometimes when I am too tired to do my night time skincare routine, I just use this after washing my face and I still get that amazing glow!! 
I use this and after waiting for about 2 minutes I reapply this. 2 applications is the trick.

If I still feel like my face is dry and will feel dry in the morning I take a pea sized amount of my fav oil like rose hip or grape-seed and dab that on my face
And viola!!
Easy peasy lemon squeezey

Didn’t that make you feel better?

Now I am going to go make my bed, idk if I am the only one but I love sleeping in a well made bed. I light some candles or put on the crackling fire sound on YouTube 😂. Read a few pages of my current read and hit the hay….
