Night beauty routine

I struggle a little with my skin, since it’s prone to acne and blackheads. Although sometimes I just can’t avoid those little bastards, I try to prevent them as much as possible. One of the ways I accomplish that is by having a skin cleansing routine, which is super important.

Kind of related tip: I use make-up remover towels before I do my workouts, because when you workout and sweat your pores can clog, and we definitely don’t want that. However, sometimes I forget to do this, and then I go around beating my head against the walls (jk). Anyway not many people know about this and even put on makeup to go to the gym, so I wanted to let you know.

Here are the steps I take before going to bed (products I use pictured):

• First I wash my face with a facial cleansing gel: I use a very simple and unexpensive (although nice)one, it has glycerine on it and is water based, so that it’s not much agressive to the skin. I wash my face with this at night and morning, 2 times a day.

• After the washing I remove the eye makeup with makeup remover towels, usually I rip them in half so they last longer, besides I really don’t need to use a whole one, since my daily eye makeup consists on basically mascara.
• The third step is to apply a face tonic, and this is something I started doing recently and I’ve noticed that it really helps with oil control, although keep in mind that it will dry your skin. I have a combination skin type, which means that some parts of my face get super dry, and others (T zone) oilier, which means I have to be extra careful with those dry parts so that I can do the oil control thing on the others.

• After I let tonic dry, I apply my yves rocher anti-aging eye serum;

• Now one of the most important steps: moisturizing. Mine is specifically a night cream, from Nivea, it has regenerative properties and I usually apply a thicker layer on the drier parts of my skin, and also on my neck (never forget the neck!)
• Last but not least I apply vaseline on my lips to prevent peeling, this is a super important step when winter comes because they dry immensely.

So this is it, have a nice Friday and don’t forget your skin care!
