My Night Time Skincare Routine

Hi everyone,

Earlier this month I blogged about my morning skincare routine so today I thought I would share with you the skincare products that I use in the evening. As you may have seen in the last post, I have been trying to look after my skin a lot better recently and have finally settled on a routine that I am happy with!

1)   Firstly I wash away all the days’ makeup using the Elizabeth Arden Visible Difference cleanser (£18). At the moment I am using the one for combination skin which I actually got in a free gift set but I have been using the option for dry skin as well throughout winter. I love how fresh, clean and soft my skin feels after using this product and I have really noticed an improvement in the condition of my skin since using it.

 

2)   Once I have washed away the majority of my makeup I like to use the Bioderma micellar water (£10.20) to remove any last traces of mascara and makeup that have escaped the cleanser.  I find this product to be really gentle but still gets rid of any makeup left on your skin.

3)   Next I sweep a cotton pad with some Elizabeth Arden Visible Difference Gentle Hydrating Toner (£18) over my face to leave it feeling super clean. This toner is great if you have dry skin as it alcohol free and doesn’t cause any irritation.

4)   Finally I apply some Esteé Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum (£49) to help repair skin from any environmental damage and protect against fine lines and wrinkles. I have had a bit of a love / hate relationship with this product but as it costs so much I wanted to make sure that I use it up. I definitely think you have to use it for a good few weeks to see any improvement and I think more mature skin would see greater benefits from using it too. I’m not sure this is one I would buy again and I now have my eye on the Clarins Multi-Active Night Youth Recovery Cream so I think I will try this one next.

5)   Right before I go to sleep I like to apply some of my ‘can’t live without’ product, Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream to my lips so that I wake up to them feeling super soft and hydrated.

Again, it’s quite a simple night time skincare routine with not a huge amount of products but so far it seems to be working for me. If my skin is really suffering I do sometimes slather on some Sudocrem Skin Care Cream and leave it over night and any blemishes or redness have significantly decreased when I wake up in the morning. It’s such an amazing product and only costs £1.69 at Bodycare. I don’t do this every night however, just when I feel my skin needs an extra boost!

Which skincare products do you use in the evening? I’d love to hear about any recommendations that you have!

Thanks for reading,
