Your Easy Nighttime Skin Care Routine

Nighttime is when you want to let your face rest and recover from the ravages of the day, which means you will want a simple and effective routine that will clean away the dirt and pollution and provide your face with the nourishment it needs to help repair daily damage so that your face has the best start the next morning.

Cleanse

First, you need to make sure that you have chosen a cleanser that is formulated to offer your particular skin type the best clean possible.

Remember, you’re not just removing makeup you may have applied in the morning, you’re also removing all the daily grime, irritants and bacteria that may have made their way onto your face throughout your day.

Whether you’re using a cleansing cloth that is already impregnated with your favorite cleanser, a cleansing brush or simply your cleanser and your hands, before bed you want to get to work thoroughly washing your face with warm water and your favorite cleanser.

After washing, make sure that you thoroughly rinse away all dirt and soap residue with warm water, follow up with a splash of cold to close the pores and gently pat your face dry with a soft towel.

Tone

If you now think that your face must be perfectly clean, this is not necessarily true because chances are quite high that even after all that rinsing there are still remnants of your cleanser and makeup still remaining, and the best way to ensure that your face is really clean is to add another 30 seconds to your routine and follow up your face washing with a toner.

Witch Hazel is my favorite choice for this simple and often overlooked part of an effective nighttime skin care routine, and although there are many toners out there that can get the job done, make sure you choose one that is compatible with your particular skin type.

Apply toner to a cotton pad and thoroughly wipe all over your face, starting at your hairline. Be especially gentle around your delicate eye skin area and finish up with your neck area.

This simple toning step will ensure that any remaining makeup, oil or grime that has accumulated on your face throughout the day will be eliminated and your face will be ready to receive the nourishment it needs while you sleep.

Moisturize

Next, after washing and toning your face, you will want to moisturize and replenish the essential oils you’ve just washed away and my favorite product for this simple task is easily taken care of with the amazing Cardea Luxe™ Radiance Eye Cream.

This highly effective eye cream is not just for your delicate eye area as it is also a wonderful moisturizer for your entire face and neck area and just what you need to help repair skin damage and reverse the effects of aging at the cellular level while you sleep.

Missing this important step will be missing an opportunity to feed your skin cells all that they need to optimize healing, repair and renewal so that you can always put your best face forward.

Cardea Luxe™ Radiance Eye Cream contains all those moisturizing and anti-aging ingredients you want to help ensure that when the sun peeks over the horizon the next morning, your face will have enjoyed the benefits of a fabulous, synergistic skin care formulation that will help diminish fine lines and wrinkles, even skin tone, repair damage at the cellular level and renew your skin all night long so you can rise and shine with a younger looking face.

Humidify While You Sleep

You may only think of turning on that humidifier when you’ve got a cold or have difficulty breathing, when in fact keeping moisture in the air while you sleep will really help to prevent your skin from drying out, so don’t just use that humidifier when you’re not feeling well, integrate it into your daily nighttime skin care routine.

Get Enough Hours

Finally, another often overlooked ingredient in the best nighttime skincare routine is being kind to yourself by making sure that you get at least 8 hours of relaxing sleep every night.

A good night’s sleep, doesn’t just recharge your batteries and remove the psychological stresses of the day, when we’re sleeping our blood vessels dilate to allow more oxygen and nutrients to flow to the skin, to help remove toxins, and our cells actually go into overdrive to help repair any damage caused by the sun, pollution and stress during our waking hours, all of which will also greatly improve the health of your skin.

Be kind to your skin at nighttime – follow a simple skincare routine and choose Cardea Luxe Radiance Eye Cream, to give yourself the best opportunity to awake with a radiant, younger skin while you’re dreaming the hours away.

Here’s to bringing out your inner beauty!
