Why this worksAs temperatures drop, our skin can become dry and irritated. An effective evening routine helps restore moisture and repair the skin barrier while you sleep. By using nourishing ingredients, you can promote a healthier complexion and wake up feeling refreshed.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Cleanse Your Skin Start with a gentle cleanser to remove makeup and impurities. A hydrating formula is ideal for keeping your skin balanced, especially in cooler weather.
  2. Exfoliate (1-2 times/week) Incorporate a mild exfoliant to slough off dead skin cells. This helps enhance product absorption and promotes a smoother texture. Remember to patch-test any new products to avoid irritation.
  3. Apply a Hydrating Serum Use a hydrating serum packed with ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin. This step deeply hydrates your skin, providing a moisture boost overnight.
  4. Moisturise Generously Seal in all that hydration with a rich moisturiser. Look for formulas that contain nourishing oils or butters to help combat dryness and keep your skin supple.
  5. Treat Specific Concerns If you have specific concerns like dryness or dullness, apply targeted treatments such as an oil or overnight mask. Always patch-test new products to avoid potential irritation.

Where people go wrong

Many people skip cleansing, thinking moisturiser is enough. Over-exfoliating can lead to irritation, so stick to 1-2 times a week. Not applying serum before moisturiser is a missed opportunity for hydration.

The pro moveConsider layering products for extra hydration, like a hydrating mist before serum.
