My night time skincare routine is relatively simple. Certainly has stepped up from my "younger days" :)
I concentrate mostly on thoroughly cleaning off my makeup as clogged pores are the main reason for causing breakouts, at least for me. I have given up using makeup cleansing wipes and switched to using cleansing oil. Josie Maran Argan Oil is my current favorite. It has an amazing citrus scent and removes all my makeup, including the stubborn waterproof mascara.
I have dark circles and puffy eyes unfortunately. I have been using Shiseido White Lucent Anti-Dark Circles Eye Cream for a few months and I find it really helps with lightening up my dark under eye area and puffiness in the morning. It is pricey but you only need a little bit. I also started adding Ole Henriksen Ultimate Lift Eye Gel PM. This is an eye gel which is a bit sticky when first applied. But I like how moisturizing it is. I always find with just a night eye cream, it could be quite dry and tight at the outer corners of my eyes.
Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate has been in my routine for more than 2 years. It is not super greasy and you only need a few droplets for your entire face. It makes your skin so soft. I apply this before I put on my Origins Starting Over Age Erasing Moisturizer.
When I add up all the skin care products I am currently using, it is quite scary of how much they cost. But I believe as we age, our skin needs more care and pampering. Don't we miss our simple younger skin care routine?!
What are your night time skin care rituals? What is one product you can't live without?
