Why this worksAn evening skincare routine helps remove the day's grime while replenishing moisture. Evening is when your skin naturally repairs itself, so using calming products can enhance this process. Plus, the act of caring for your skin can be a meditative practice, promoting relaxation.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Cleanse Gently Start by removing makeup and impurities with a gentle cleanser. Use lukewarm water to avoid stripping your skin of natural oils, and follow with your favourite cleanser to ensure your skin feels fresh.
  2. Exfoliate Softly Incorporate a mild exfoliant 2-3 times a week to slough off dead skin cells. Opt for a chemical exfoliant with AHA or BHA to avoid harsh scrubbing, and always apply it to clean, damp skin.
  3. Hydrate Deeply Follow up with a hydrating serum or essence to lock in moisture. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin, which attract water to the skin, making it plump and dewy.
  4. Moisturise and Relax Finish with a nourishing night cream or oil to seal in hydration. This step not only hydrates but can also create a barrier to keep your skin protected overnight.

Where people go wrong

Many people skip cleansing before bed, leaving makeup and dirt on their skin. Over-exfoliating can irritate your skin, so stick to a gentle approach. Lastly, don't forget the moisturiser—it's key for overnight repair.

The pro moveIncorporate a facial massage while moisturising to boost circulation and relaxation.
