Why Night-time Skincare Matters
During the day, your skin is exposed to sun, pollution, sweat, makeup, and environmental stress. It’s constantly working to protect you, and by the evening, it’s ready for a reset. That’s where your night-time routine comes in, think of it like a recovery session for your skin.
When you sleep, your body goes into repair mode, and your skin is no different. Here’s what’s happening behind the scenes while you snooze:
- Cell turnover increases – your skin sheds dead cells and builds new ones faster at night
- Moisture loss is higher – skin tends to lose more water while you sleep, which is why night-time hydration is key
- Active ingredients work better – without sun and external stressors, your skin can better absorb and benefit from treatments like serums and oils
- No makeup or sunscreen to block absorption – your skin can breathe and soak up nourishing ingredients freely
By following a gentle but consistent night-time routine, you're basically giving your skin the tools it needs to repair, hydrate, and rejuvenate, so you wake up with a healthy glow and a smoother, softer feel. Even just a few minutes every night can make a big difference over time. Think of it as an investment in your future face.
Step-by-Step Night care Routine for Beginners
1. Remove Makeup & Impurities from the day
Start with a gentle makeup remover or micellar water. You want a clean canvas before anything else.
Tip: Even if you don’t wear makeup, a first cleanse can help lift away sunscreen and dirt. Cleansers like The Midnight Melt Cleansing Balm are a great option as it helps to gently cleanse without stripping your skin.
2. Toner
A toner helps balance your skin’s pH and preps it for the next steps. Not essential, but a nice extra if your skin enjoys it!
Tip: Go alcohol-free to avoid drying out your skin.
3. Eye Cream
If you’re dealing with puffiness or dark circles, an eye cream can help. Dab gently using your ring finger, it's the weakest and least likely to tug the delicate eye area.
4. Moisturiser
This is your hydration hero. It locks in everything you’ve just applied and keeps your skin soft and nourished overnight.
5. Treatment (if needed)
This includes any serums or spot treatments targeting specific concerns, like acne, dark spots, or fine lines.
New to serums? Start with just one, like a hydrating hyaluronic acid or a gentle niacinamide.
6. Overnight Mask or Facial Oil
If your skin feels extra thirsty or you want to level up your glow, finish with an overnight mask or a few drops of facial oil.
