Day: Protect, Night: Correct
My Nighttime Routine
Featuring Sorella Apothecary Skincare, Omnilux Red Light Mask, and Clean Skin Club Towels
A nighttime skincare routine is essential because our skin undergoes critical repair processes while we sleep. Plus, you have the added benefit of your skincare ingredients having time to penetrate in to your skin without being rubbed off by the wear and tear of the day. A relaxing and nourishing regimen can lead to glowing skin during the day. I always use the saying to help you remember which products to use when “day: protect, night: correct” Here's a breakdown of my favorite products and steps:
Double Cleanse
First Cleanse: Apricot Mango Cleansing Milk This cleanser, rich in Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, a stable form of Vitamin C that promotes deep hydration and antioxidant protection. I call this cleanser the "makeup melter" due to its silky blend of apricot and sweet almond oils that effectively remove makeup and impurities. But even if you don’t wear makeup, this cleanser serves as an amazing first cleanse to melt away that first layer of debris.
Second Cleanse: Orange You Jelly Cleanser or Lychee Willow Bark Cleanser
- Orange You Jelly Cleanser is oil-free, making it perfect for washing my lash extensions. It's soothing, thanks to Orange Blossom Water and calming extracts like green tea and neem.
- On exfoliation nights (MWF), I opt for the Lychee Willow Bark Cleanser as my second cleanse for a deeper and exfoliating cleanse. It contains willow bark extract, a natural BHA that helps with cell turnover via exfoliation.
Pat Dry and Red Light Therapy
After cleansing, I pat my face dry with Clean Skin Club towels, which are ultra-soft, disposable & sustainable facial towels that prevent bacterial buildup. Then, I use the Omnilux red light mask for 10 minutes. This treatment reduces fine lines, pigmentation, and redness, promoting healthier, younger-looking skin without side effects.
Toning and Serum Application
Toning: Spiced Wine Toner This gentle AHA-based toner balances my skin's pH, prepping it for serums and enhancing their effectiveness.
Serums:
- Hydrating Serum - Contains Snow Mushroom Extract, Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, and more, providing maximum hydration and elasticity.
- Pomegranate Acai Antioxidant Serum - A powerful Vitamin C serum that reduces redness, heals breakouts, evens skin tone, and combats fine lines and wrinkles.
- Facial in a Bottle - A Bakuchiol-based product that stimulates collagen, rebuilds skin, controls oil, and heals without the irritation associated with retinoids.
Final Touches
Moisturizer: The Balm This beeswax-based balm provides intense hydration, reduces wrinkles, and has anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties.
Eye Gel: Cucumber Aloe Eye Gel A soothing, oil-free gel perfect for lash extensions. It reduces inflammation, brightens, and tightens the delicate eye area.
My nighttime routine takes about 20-30 minutes, depending on how luxurious I want to make it. Consistency is key, and it's one of my secrets to achieving truly glowing skin. 💖
