Just like our body, our skin needs special attention all the time. One of the most important parts of your skincare is how you take care of your skin before going to bed. In this blog, Rubina Ratnakar gives you some useful tips for your bedtime skincare.
Before going to bedtime, we barely want to spend another 30 minutes preparing our skin. Since it is a matter of 6 to 9 hours we should take care of our skin.
We shall begin by removing all the makeup from our face or any other product we have used during the day. Remove any dirt or oil from your face with a cleanser. Make sure your skin is clear. Even if you don’t wear makeup you shall clean your face as it may have many impurities. Use warm water to wash your face as it is really effective in removing all the dirt. Use toners and astringents according to your skin.
Scrubbing and exfoliation should be done periodically. Removal of dead skin cells and clearance of pores are two main advantages of exfoliation.
Your skin needs a lot of hydration throughout the day. At night, you shall start using serums to keep your skin hydrated and save it from dryness and dullness.
Moisturizers are important products to be used in the day and at night as well. These days moisturizers come with a number of nutrients for the skin. You can choose moisturizers according to your skin type. Refer to our guide for more help in choosing the right moisturizer.
Applying a face mask can be a great way of relaxing your skin and enhancing it. So it is your choice whether you want to buy a face mask or make one on your own. There are many options out there for choosing the perfect face mask.
Apart from all the products we use before going to bed, good quality of sleep and keeping your body hydrated internally, are some crucial things. And lastly, you are what you eat, so eat a healthy diet.
