If you want healthy flawless skin, you must take care of it during the day as well as the night. The products used during your daytime routine are mostly to hydrate your skin and protect it from UV rays and other environmental impurities such as dust, dirt, etc. During the night, your skin repairs and heals very quickly and it is the perfect time to apply your anti-ageing products as it works its best when the body is at rest. This is why the term “beauty sleep” has become popular.
While you are asleep, your body is active and all the parts are doing their job. As there are no external factors applied, most of the rejuvenation and renewal processes of the skin happen during the night, so you can use this opportunity to get the best results if you follow a good night time skincare routine. Due to the pandemic, it has become hard to get beauty services in Bhubaneswar at the salon, so it is entirely up to you to take care of your skin. Do the following steps during the night to maintain the glow of your skin:
1. Remove Your Makeup:
Going to bed with your makeup on is one of the rookie mistakes you can make. Washing your face with water or only face wash is not enough. Makeup products these days are waterproof and designed to last longer. This is why most of it does not come off easily. Double cleansing is considered to be the best makeup removal option here.
To effectively remove your makeup, massage your face with coconut or olive oil and use a cotton pad to strip down the products. Micellar water is also another good alternative that breaks down the makeup easily so that it can be removed. Starting your night time routine with this step is crucial.
2. Cleansing:
After the makeup is removed, it is important to get rid of the excess dirt, oil, and makeup residue from your face using water and a suitable cleanser. You need to make sure the water is at room temperature or lukewarm as extreme temperatures can dry your skin making it look dull.
There are many cleansers available in the market. You need to choose the one that suits your face and requirement well. Take a coin-sized amount of cleanser and massage it on your face properly, covering all the areas, especially your T-zone.
3. Toner:
Toner is an important step for both day and night skincare routine. A toner re-hydrates your skin after excess oils have been removed. It also shrinks all the pores and removes the extra dust that is left behind.
Toners having no alcohol content are suitable for all skin types and are very easy to use. Pour a little bit of toner on a cotton pad and apply it evenly on your face and neck for fresh-looking skin.
4. Apply Eye Cream:
A night time skincare routine is incomplete without an eye cream. The area around our eye is very delicate and one of the very first places that shows the sign of ageing. This happens for reasons like we do not moisturize enough, forget to apply sunscreen around it, or stare at screens for a very long time.
Without proper care, we can develop dark circles and puffy eyes. A good eye cream will moisturize and relax the area around the eye and leave you with smooth, wrinkle-free skin.
5. Moisturizer:
No matter what your skin type is, a moisturizer is absolutely necessary. If you want to wake up with healthy and fresh skin, applying moisturizer should be your last step.
Choose a good moisturizer that suits your skin well. If you have oily skin, use a gel-based moisturizer, rather than anything heavy that will clog your pores. Along with the face you also need to apply moisturizer on your neck too.
The best time to do your night routine is 10–20 minutes before you go to the bed so that everything gets absorbed properly and not end up on your pillow. Although, your makeup needs to be removed as soon as you reach home. Just as you apply so many products to be attractive during the day, you need to follow these nigh time steps to properly rejuvenate your skin, so that you wake up with fresh and healthy skin.
