Nighttime skincare routine

Last week was all about my morning skincare routine and this week we are talking about the things I do before going to bed.

Yes, I have my days when I skip my routine and yes my skin punishes me for this by breaking out every now and then. A little more information about my skin before continuing with the post: I have oily skin on my T-zone and normal/dry skin on my cheeks, some acne scars on my chin, and the habitual pimples once or twice a month.

My nighttime routine actually starts with taking my makeup off but as I have not used any makeup during this time I have decided to skip that part. But if I do use any makeup I like to take it off using a makeup remover pad and some micellar water.

After that step is done I clean my face every night with the Kiehl’s Rare Earth Deep Pore Daily Cleanser. What I love the most about this one is that it does not have a very abrasive texture. It really does the job and you don’t even have to use a lot of product to clean your entire face.

Next step is toner. I got my hands on the Tetraforce Toner from ElishaCoy and used it ever since. It is supposed to help with sebum excess and to minimize the pores and I swear that if you pair it with a good skincare routine it will do wonders for you.

I use it by applying a small amount on a cotton pad and pressing it gently on my whole face.

Next on the list is the Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% from The Ordinary. The serum is perfect for combatting blemishes, enlarged pores, and uneven skin tone so if you have any of that I strongly suggest getting one.

I use it on a clean and completely dry face and I only put 3 small drops. One on my forehead, one on my chin and one on my noes.

After the serum is completely absorbed into my face, I apply eye cream. It is the same one I use in the morning too.

Next is face cream. I apply a small quantity all over my face as a little goes a long way in this case. This one has a 91% snail slime filtrate that promotes skin cell regeneration and boosts elasticity and repairs damaged skin. I mainly use it to improve the aspect of my old acne scars as well as prevent new ones.
