Seven Tips To Take Care Of Your Skin At Night

Taking care of your skin in the evening is just as important – if not more important – than the routine you do every morning before you leave your house. If you want beautiful skin, it is essential to take good care of it morning and evening.

In this article, we share seven tips that you can incorporate into your evening routine to care for your skin. Within 10 minutes and with the right products, you can prepare your face for a restful and revitalizing night.

Taking care of your home at night

1. Always remove makeup

The first step in taking care of the skin at night is the most important step of all. You should remove makeup before preparing your face for rest. If you don’t remove the traces of makeup, you will block your pores and look blah when you get up.

You can opt for a thick and oily makeup remover if you use a lot of semi-permanent cosmetics. For the most superficial and natural make-up, on the other hand, it is better to use a liquid and lighter product.

2. Use a mild cleanser

Even if you don’t wear makeup, the second step is to thoroughly cleanse your skin. This way you eliminate dirt, impurities and dead skin cells that can give your skin a dull appearance.

Today there are mild cleansers of soap and cream and even some deep cleansers, which also exfoliate. The most important thing is to use one that does not contain alcohol or strong ingredients, as these can alter the pH and natural oils of your skin.

3. A tonic for fatigue

Next, your skin care routine should include a tonic to relieve the signs of fatigue from the day. The tonic closes your pores, balances your skin and provides hydration to your skin.

We recommend that you choose a product that does not contain alcohol, as this gives your skin a fresh feeling, but does not damage your skin.

Furthermore, there are a number of natural tonics that you can use, including:

• rose water
• rosemary
• witch hazel

4. Use the right serum for your skin

Serums are products that you apply right before a moisturizer and that contain a high concentration of nutrients. You can apply it in the morning and in the evening. However, the most effective time to apply it is before going to bed.

The type of serum you use will depend on what you want to achieve. The most common resources include:

• hyaluronic acid
• collagen
• vitamins A, B and C
• coenzyme Q10

5. A night cream

From the age of 25, you can use a specific moisturizer at night. You should keep in mind that the face cream you apply before going to bed is not the same as the face cream you use during the day.

During the nighttime hours, your skin will absorb nutrients much more efficiently than during the day because you rest. Therefore, this cream should contain more nutrients.

In addition, day creams usually also contain sunscreen, but not a high concentration of nutrients. While you can certainly use it at night, you won’t get the same benefits. Even if you have to invest in two creams, keep in mind that they will last twice as long.

6. Massage is also effective

If you still have a few minutes to complete your skincare routine before going to bed, you can massage your face. Or, even better, have your partner, a friend or family member do this for more relaxation.

A facial massage is the best way to relax the face and take away the tension. In addition, it also provides firmness to the skin and activates blood circulation. This way, your skin will also better absorb the products you applied in the previous steps.

7. Get enough rest

Finally, to round out your routine, don’t forget these final tips:

• Your bedroom should be completely dark (without light) when you sleep. This also applies to the light from your mobile phone and computer.
• Try to sleep face up as this is the best position to avoid wrinkles.
• Before going to sleep, try to clear your mind, forget your worries and relax your face.
• If your face is swollen when you get up, try using lighter cosmetics and use a slightly higher pillow.
• Sleeping fewer hours than you need affects the appearance of your face. However, if you sleep too much, you will also look tired the next day. Find the perfect balance for your health.

Remember that health equals outward beauty  and there is no getting around that.
