Remove makeup and cleanse: Start by removing any makeup or sunscreen using a gentle makeup remover or cleansing oil. Follow it up with a suitable facial cleanser to remove impurities, dirt, and excess oil from your skin.

Exfoliate (1-2 times per week): Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells and promotes cell turnover, resulting in a brighter complexion. Use a chemical exfoliant like an AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) or BHA (beta hydroxy acid) product that suits your skin type. Follow the instructions provided by the product, as over-exfoliation can be harmful.

Apply toner: Toner helps balance the pH of your skin, minimize the appearance of pores, and prepare your skin for better absorption of subsequent skincare products. Choose an alcohol-free toner suitable for your skin type and apply it using a cotton pad or by gently patting it into your skin.

Treat specific concerns: If you have specific skincare concerns like acne, hyperpigmentation, or fine lines, you can use targeted overnight treatments in the evening.

Look for products containing ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, niacinamide, or hyaluronic acid, depending on your skin concerns. Apply night serums and treatments following the instructions provided and allow them to absorb into your skin.

Moisturize: Apply a good-quality night moisturizer suitable for your skin type to hydrate and nourish your skin. Look for ingredients like ceramides, peptides, or hyaluronic acid to provide moisture and improve your skin’s barrier function.

Eye cream: Apply a small amount of eye cream to the delicate skin around your eyes. Look for ingredients like peptides or antioxidants to address specific eye concerns such as dark circles or fine lines.

Lip care: Don’t forget to hydrate your lips. Apply a nourishing lip balm or treatment to keep your lips moisturized.

Optional: Facial oil or sleeping mask (1-2 times per week): If you feel your skin needs an extra boost of hydration, you can incorporate a facial oil or a hydrating sleeping mask into your routine. Apply a few drops of facial oil or a thin layer of the sleeping mask after moisturizer, and leave it on overnight to wake up with refreshed skin.
