After a long day out and about, I am ready to get the makeup off my face and let my skin breath and my pores relax. I have a simple skincare routine at night.
1. First, I take off my makeup with Micellar water, and that is just the first step.
2. The second step, I go back and wash my face with my favorite Neutrogena makeup remover cleanser, this product is the best makeup remover, and I have used it for years. It removes all makeup and even stubborn waterproof mascara.
3. After removing my makeup, I use my sulfur soap which does an excellent job for my acne prone/oily skin. I have the occasional breakout, and I have noticed that Sulfur does a great job of combatting my acne whenever I have a breakout.
I also use my Beauty 360 Facial Cleansing Power Brush to exfoliate my skin to remove all the grime and dead skin. It is essential to use some kind of chemical or mechanical method to exfoliate your skin to remove dead skin that accumulates as the skin sheds every day. Exfoliating helps to maintain smoother younger looking skin.
4. After cleansing and exfoliating, depending on what day it is, I will use a facial mask. I alternate between two facial masks at the moment. I use a clay mask that draws out impurities out of my skin, and I use a brightening mask that helps to fade my hyperpigmentation. I love using facial masks, It’s relaxing for some reason.
5. After my mask, I like to use a toner to re-balance my skin, bring my skin’s pH back to normal, add a needed layer of protection, shrink my pores, refresh my skin, and add a boost of hydration. I love the new THAYERS Witch Hazel Lavender Mint. I use it twice a day, and it is a fantastic part of my daily regimen.
6. After my toner, I use my moisturizer and eye cream and moisturize my lip with the THAYERS Lip Balm.
That’s it! My evening skincare routine is fast and simple. I don’t have too many steps, I always believe that less is more and if you use skincare products targeted for your skincare and skin problems, then you don’t have to layer on so many products. You can always alternate your products depending on the seasons. For instance, when it’s Winter, you might want to switch your facial moisturizer for a much heavier cream.
