Why this worksEstablishing a consistent evening skincare routine helps your skin repair and regenerate overnight. During sleep, your skin is more receptive to active ingredients, allowing for deeper hydration and nourishment. Plus, a good routine can help create a barrier against environmental stressors you faced during the day.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Remove Makeup Start with a gentle makeup remover or cleansing oil to break down makeup and impurities. This step is crucial to ensure your skin can properly absorb the following treatments.
  2. Cleanse Follow up with a mild cleanser suited to your skin type. This will remove any residual grime and prepare your skin for the next steps. Be sure to rinse thoroughly to avoid any leftover product.
  3. Apply Serums Choose a hydrating serum with beneficial ingredients like hyaluronic acid or niacinamide. Apply a few drops to your fingertips and gently press them into your skin for maximum absorption.
  4. Moisturise Seal in all that goodness with a rich moisturiser. This helps to lock in hydration overnight and keeps your skin feeling soft and supple by morning.
  5. Treat Areas of Concern If you have specific concerns like dryness or fine lines, consider using a targeted treatment, such as an oil or cream, on those areas after moisturising.

Where people go wrong

One common mistake is skipping the cleansing step, which can leave your skin clogged. Another is applying products in the wrong order, which can hinder absorption. Lastly, many forget to patch test new products, risking irritation.

The pro moveConsider switching to a heavier moisturiser as temperatures drop, to combat seasonal dryness.
