Our face goes through a lot of harsh treatment in the day like wearing make-up, going out in dust and pollution, going out in sun, and chores like waxing. It is important to relax your skin as well in the same way you relax your mind before sleeping. In this blog, Rubina Ratnakar helps you in forming your skincare routine and lists some steps to be followed in night skincare.
At night, the skin has the time to repair itself so you need to take those refreshing steps in the right order.
Start with cleansing your skin from all the make-up, oil, and dirt. We advise you to opt for double-cleansing. Firstly clean your face with an oil-based cleanser to remove the makeup. After that use a face wash to remove all the extra sebum and dirt.
The next step is to hydrate your skin if you use any kind of toner or essence. Since you have cleansed your skin with some lightweight water-like product. If you use both toner and essence, it is advised to use a toner first and then the essence.
The next step should be using your eye cream to get rid of dark circles and eye bags. The area under your eyes is very soft and delicate. An eye cream will help you to preserve the tenderness of your skin.
If you are using any kind of medicine on your skin, now is the time to apply it. We do a lot of things to repair and rejuvenate our skin but applying a lot of layers can prove to be irritating for the skin. So, shortlist the products to the minimum possible.
The last step in your routine should be using a night cream or a heavy moisturizer. Moisturizers are different for day and night. The heaviness of the creams helps you in retaining the water content of your skin. Keep the skin routine simple and pause after every step to let the products blend in your skin.
