Why this worksNighttime is when your skin repairs itself, so a dedicated routine can maximise this process. By using nourishing ingredients, you can help support your skin's natural barrier and replenish moisture lost throughout the day. This routine is particularly beneficial in October, as cooler weather can leave skin feeling dry and tight.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Cleanse Your Face Start with a gentle cleanser to remove makeup, dirt, and impurities. Use lukewarm water to avoid stripping your skin's natural oils, and massage the cleanser in circular motions before rinsing it off.
  2. Apply a Hydrating Toner After cleansing, use a hydrating toner to prep your skin for the next steps. Look for alcohol-free formulas that contain soothing ingredients to help balance your skin's pH and add an extra layer of moisture.
  3. Use a Nourishing Serum Apply a nourishing serum with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid or vitamin E. Serums deliver concentrated nutrients deep into the skin, helping to lock in moisture and support your skin's repair process overnight.
  4. Moisturise Seal in all that goodness with a rich moisturiser. This will create a barrier to prevent moisture loss while you sleep, keeping your skin hydrated and plump by morning.
  5. Add an Eye Cream Finish off with a gentle eye cream to address the delicate skin around your eyes. Look for creams with soothing ingredients that can help hydrate and refresh this area overnight.

Where people go wrong

Many people skip cleansing or use harsh products that irritate the skin. Others forget to apply toner, missing out on extra hydration. Be careful not to overload on serums or moisturisers, as this can lead to clogged pores.

The pro moveFor extra hydration, consider using a facial oil after your moisturiser for a luxurious finish.
