Important F/W Nightly skin care routine
Ok! So now that we have the daily skincare routine out of the way, it is equally important you have a night routine!
Cleanse: Cleansing is the first step of all skincare routines. IT removes every last trace of dirt, excess oil, pollution, and unwanted skin cells. During the F/W season, it’s smart to clean your face in the morning and evening with a cleanser that gently cleans your face- Also note to try and skip any exfoliate during the cold season to avoid stripping the oils your skin needs. Our favorite night cleanser is @tatcha a cleanser that washes away impurities w/o stripping skin—leaving it hydrated, feeling soft, and looking luminous.
Tone: Toner removes any last traces of dirt, grime, and impurities stuck in your pores after you wash your face. Even after cleansing you still need to clear your face of any leftover oils from the day @fentyskin has a great toner that not only strips but hydrates the skin at the same time. the “Fat water” targets pores, improves the look of dark spots, brightens, smooths, and fights shine—all without stripping skin.
Moisturize/ Hydrate: After striping the dirt and oils from your skin you’ll need to moisturize and hydrate and soften the skin. Look for a moisturizer like @humanrace that has snow mushroom and hyaluronic acid which helps hydrate, soothe and lock in moisture.
Let us know if you have any of our favorites in your #skincare routine or if you have any product suggestions ✨

Tone: Toner removes any last traces of dirt, grime, and impurities stuck in your pores after you wash your face. Even after cleansing you still need to clear your face of any leftover oils from the pores that are open, a non-alcoholic toner like @biossance does the job!
Moisturize/ Hydrate: After striping the dirt and oils from your skin you’ll need to moisturize and hydrate and soften the skin. Look for a serum that has Vitamin-C ingredients like @hyperskin which is good for holding in moisture and a natural skin brightener!
