Your Perfect Night time Skincare routine: A Ritual for Radiant Skin
A well-crafted night time skincare routine plays a crucial role in promoting skin health, rejuvenation, and overall well-being. Lets face it, nobody wants to go to bed with a dirty face, as it can lead to clogged pores, breakouts, and a dull complexion. During sleep, our skin enters a phase of accelerated cellular repair and regeneration. A night time skincare routine aids this natural process by providing the necessary nutrients and support for the renewal of skin cells. Essential ingredients like hyaluronic acid, natural plant & fruit extracts that contain antioxidants work wonders in boosting collagen production and reducing signs of aging. You can find these amazing ingredients in our skincare products.
Check out our 5 step night time skincare routine for radiant skin:
Step 1: First Cleanse: removing make-up & SPF
Step one of a skincare routine utilises double cleansing which involves using a cleansing oil and then a gentle cleanser. We recommend using an oil cleanser such as our 100% natural Coconut & Grapefruit Cleansing oil on damp skin, massaging it gently in circular motions. Then wipe off with a damp face cloth or cotton pad.
It has a lovely relaxing scent making it more enjoyable when cleansing at night.This step effectively breaks down makeup, sunscreen, and excess sebum, allowing the oil to dissolve impurities that have accumulated throughout the day, without stripping the skin of its natural moisture.
Step 2: Second Cleanse with a gentle cleanser
While the cleansing oil focuses on clearing your skin of makeup and sebum, your cleanser is then needed to clear the surface thoroughly of dead skin cells, bacteria, dirt and oil. You would want to be using an effective cleanser yet gentle enough that it doesn't strip your skin leaving it dry and tight. Our Refreshing foaming facial wash is the perfect cleanser that doesn't dry or strip the skin. Its gentle, hydrating formula effectively removes dirt, oil, and impurities while maintaining your skin's natural moisture balance. Thanks to the hyaluronic acid and cucumber extract that it contains.
Using one to two pumps, simply massage in to the skin and wash off with water.
Step 3: Serum
Using a serum at night is highly effective because this is when your skin naturally undergoes its repair and regeneration processes. Serums are formulated with concentrated active ingredients that can penetrate deeply, addressing specific concerns like fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and dehydration. Our Brightening hyaluronic gel serum is amazing for your skin leaving it hydrated, smooth and supple. It is 97% natural containing. Strawberry & Cranberry extract; a natural source of Vitamin C for brightening & reducing dark, spots. Also contains papaya which exfoliates by removing dead skin cells promoting skin regrowth and creating softer, more even skin.
Step 4: Moisturiser
Using a moisturiser at night after applying a serum offers several benefits. First, it helps lock in the potent active ingredients from the serum, enhancing their effectiveness and ensuring they penetrate deeper into the skin. Moisturisers provide essential hydration, preventing dryness and maintaining the skin's moisture barrier. This is particularly important at night when the skin can lose moisture more rapidly. By sealing in hydration and nutrients, a moisturiser ensures you wake up with softer, smoother, and more radiant skin.
Our Hydrating facial lotion is amazing for the skin. It is quick absorbing and super hydrating, leaving your skin very smooth and supple. Enriched with hyaluronic acid hydrating the skin, niacinamide to strengthen the skin and retain moisture, coconut, jojoba & aloe vera.
Step 5: Overnight facial oil (optional)
The night is an opportune time to replenish and lock in moisture. Utilising hydrating serums, creams, and facial oils help in preventing moisture loss and ensuring your skin wakes up plump and hydrated. The rosehip & raspberry dewy overnight facial oil is especially great at night and will have you waking up with glowing, soft and radiant skin. Apply 3-4 drops of oil to your face and neck and massage in.
Beyond the physical benefits, a night time skincare routine can serve as a therapeutic and calming self-care ritual. The act of cleansing & massaging serums and moisturisers into the skin not only nurtures your complexion but also promotes relaxation, helping to alleviate stress accumulated throughout the day. So, let the night be your canvas for self-renewal, and wake up each morning with skin that reflects the care and attention it deserves.
