Why your Nighttime Skincare Routine is so Important .

most everyone has their own version of their nighttime skincare routine, but have you ever taken time to think about why it is so important?

I am going to share with you what you need to incorporate into your nighttime skincare routine and why it is so beneficial.

During the day our skin can be exposed to some “harsh” things. For example, heavy makeup, dirt, UV rays, etc. While you are sleeping at night your skin’s blood flow increases which allows your skin to rebuild its collagen. So it only makes sense that you are using your best products at night to make sure you are helping this process.

It is very important to make sure all of your makeup is removed before you cleanse your skin. If you get into the habit of leaving makeup on your skin when you go to bed you can break out, develop a rash, have dull looking skin or even age your skin quicker. I like to use micellar water to ensure that I get off all my makeup and it feels so hydrating!  Then, you want to use a good cleanser to wash your face. My skin is very sensitive, so I use a mild cleanser from Trader Joes. Next, you want to find a good toner and wipe that on your skin. If you have sensitive skin it is important to find a good toner that will not dry your skin out. Then, you will want to finish up with a super hydrating moisturizer. I love using the Trader Joe's moisturizing face cream, it feels amazing! 

You can also add a lot of other useful steps into your nighttime routine. Products like eye creams, face masks, lip sleeping masks and essential oils are all great things to add to your routine. Stores like Sephora, Ulta, Target and Trader Joe’s offer a wide variety of these products.
