My 8 step anti-ageing evening skin care routine
In a previous post, I shared my morning skincare routine.
Today I want to go over my evening skincare routine, which is equally if not more important. I invest in my skincare and I am diligent about sticking to my routine while adding new or rebuying products as needed.
1. Remove Makeup
I like to remove my makeup with Neutrogena’s makeup remover wipes. Another great option for removing your makeup is Clinique's Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm
2. Cleanse
Once I have my makeup off I cleanse my face. Lately, I have been using Summer Fridays Super Amino Gel Cleanser. I like this cleanser because it is pH balancing and leaves my skin feeling clean and not stripped. I use this with my Foreo Luna 3. The Foreo Luna 3 takes just one minute to cleanse the face while simultaneously massaging the skin. This leaves your skin feeling plump and younger-looking. Another plus is the Foreo can hold a charge for up to 650 uses!
3. Treatment
Once my face is cleansed, I use Dr.Dennis Gross’s Alpha Beta® Extra Strength Daily Peel. This two-step daily peel helps to reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, pores, and shine. I have seen a difference in my skin since using this peel on a consistent basis.
4. Light Therapy Mask
After my daily peel, I use Dr. Dennis Gross's SpectraLite™ Faceware Pro. This is a light mask that has 100 LED red lights and 62 LED blue lights that work together to smooth the wrinkles, give your skin a firmer appearance, and diminish discoloration.
It offers three options: red light therapy, blue light therapy, and red and blue light therapy. Red lights support the natural production of collagen and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, sun spots, sun damage, and redness. The blue lights target bacteria and prevent future breakouts. I use the third option of using both lights together to target the look of wrinkles and blemishes at the same time. This is an expensive item. I wait to buy high priced beauty and skincare tools until Sephora has their Rogue 20% off discount to purchase. I have noticed a marked improvement in my skin since purchasing and using the mask daily. I even feel that my makeup goes on smoother now. I recommend you look into purchasing one if it is within your budget!
5. Oil
After my mask, I use Sunday Riley's Luna Sleep Oil. This is a retinol oil which is great at targeting fine lines and wrinkles, dark spots, and redness. My skin loves this product and I have gone through multiple bottles and will continue repurchasing.
6. Eye Cream
Next up is eye cream! Lately I have been using Sunday Riley's Auto Correct Brightening and Depuffing eye cream. This cream reduces the appearance of wrinkles and dark circles. I say yes to anything that helps crows feet go away!
7.Night Cream
I finish my face off with Kora Organic's Sleep Mask. Your final step to your nighttime skin routine should always be night cream or a sleep mask. I like the way that this product hydrates my skin while I am sleeping. Overnight your skin renews and repairs. I wake up to soft and hydrated glowing skin!
7. Lip sleeping Mask
Last but not least, I apply Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask. I can’t say enough good things about this lip mask. I highly recommend purchasing one if you haven’t already!
