💖 Skin Care Nighttime Tips 

💖

– Don’t skip nightly cleaning. Remove make-up before you go to bed, so your skin can breathe and repair itself while you sleep! 

– Don’t use overly harsh cleanser. It’ll strip away natural oils your skin needs! Use: coconut oil, apple cider vinegar mixed with water (1 part vinegar, 2 parts water), honey and lemon juice (2 tablespoons honey, 1 table spoon lemon juice) or yoghurt. Alternatively, buy a gentle, natural, organic one. 

– How to know if your cleanser is too harsh? If your skin feels very tight, dry or “thirsty” after using it, it’s not a sign it’s effective – it’s a sign it drys out your skin too much! 

– Don’t forget neck, decolletage, and behind the ears! Clean and moisturize them too. 

– Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. Nighttime is the ideal time for your skin to rehydrate! Use: Coconut oil, olive oil, shea butter, sweet almond oil. Alternatively, buy a gentle, natural, organic one.

– Mix vitamin E oil, lavender essential oil or tea tree essential oil in your moisturizer for a extra skin care kick (a few drops are enough!) 

– Put a mix of yoghurt and cucumber on your face for 15 minutes, then rise it off. It’s super hydrating and refreshing! Do this once or twice a week. 

– Get enough sleep!  No nighttime product should be expected to work wonders if you aren’t getting enough sleep. 

– Wash your pillowcases regularly, so your face doesn’t lay in bacteria and dirt all night. You’ll reduce breakouts by washing them regularly! 

– Go to bed naked (if circumstances allow it), to let your skin breathe. 

– It’s late at night and you’re hungry? Eat fruit – your skin will thank you!
