Today, I thought I would talk about my nighttime routine, viz. what
products I use after I cleanse my skin. If you are curious on how I
cleanse my skin at night, do let me know and I'll gladly provide
information.
After I wash my face and tone my skin, I like to use the Etude House "Tint My Brows" on my brows. I have posted a review if you're interested. I like to use this product on very clean skin, otherwise I find it does not set properly on your brows.
At night, I like to use products that sloughs off the dead skin which means acids and the like which will repair and cleanse without the fear of my skin being exposed by the sun. I don't like to use products that contain acids or retinols during the day specifically because I find even with a strong sunscreen, which I use, my skin still can get discoloured. At night, I've been really enjoying using Drunk Elephant's TLC Framboos Glycolic Night Serum. If this isn't your thing, I also really like Sunday Riley's Good Genes. Both are available at Sephora.
Next,
I like to "cool" my skin with IOPE's Plan Stem Cell Softener. Before, I
would have used aloe vera in addition to this but I've gotten kind of
lazy and just use this. Aloe vera is also good just on its own. I
recommend the Trader Joe's Aloe Vera. I really like the smell.
After I put all this over my skin, avoiding my brows, I have been using a concoction of Hyaluronic Acid and the Korres Black Pine Sleeping Oil. I bought this sleeping oil during my Sephora shopping spree when there was 20% off this past November. When I used this, I didn't really like how it didn't really soak up in my skin. I felt it kind of sat on my skin at night. I find, however, when I used it in combination with the Hyaluronic Acid, it really worked nicely on my skin and I noticed my skin became less discoloured. I use a 3:2 ratio of Sleeping Oil: Hyaluronic Acid.
You can find the Hyaluronic Acid from Amazon for USD$15 and the Korres sleeping oil I got from Sephora. If you're looking for a good acid to plump your skin, I highly recommend this one as it really gets the job done and is such a great price.
After
the sleeping oil concoction, I like to allow the oil to really sink in
with an emulsion. Currently, I can using the Sulwhasoo Essential
Balancing Emulsion and I really really love it. If you can get this,
do. At this time, I also use the Shiseido eye cream around my eyes and
my smile lines. I only use this product at night only as it is very very
creamy; I find when I use it at night, my eyes are not as dry the next
day.
Finally, I use a thick moisturiser, which was in January favourites, so that my skin is healing and moisturising at the same time. If it's particularly drying, I like to use this honey mask from Aritaum, which I also talked about in my January favourites.
Et fin! It seems like a lot but it really is much faster than my writing this entire process.
Until next time, xo Jane.
