Night-time Skin Care Routine

I would say I'm fairly obsessed with good skin and trying to prolong my youth. For a long time I've been trying to find the perfect combination of products to use at night-time. I think its important to use good skin care products at night-time as this is when your skin revives and renews itself.


Step 1: I remove my eye make up using round cotton pads and La Roche Posay Toleriane Eye Make-Up remover. These come in individual 5ml containers which I'm not the biggest fan of to be honest as apart from this amount of packaging not being great for the environment, I only need to us half the container to remove my eye make-up so I have to leave the container open to use the next day (that is if I haven't knocked it over or lost it down the side of the bed by the next day). Other than the container this eye make-up remover is really good, it removes all make-up and is very gentle on even my sensitive eyes. The other eye make-up remover I like to use is the No. 7 Cleanse and Care. Its an oily formula and is really brilliant at taking all traces of make-up off. I think I will be repurchasing this from now on simply due to the annoying packaging of the La Roche Posay.




Step 2: After removing my eye-make up I use the old reliable, Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish Hot Cloth Cleaser. I really can't praise this cleanser enough. As well as taking every last shred of make-up off, it leaves your skin feeling so refreshed and healthy and the smell is beautiful!! Basically if you haven't tried this before go buy it.



Step 3: Next I apply a refreshing spritz of La Roche Posay Thermal Spring Water. Now when I got this my boyfriend asked me why I payed €5 euro for a bottle of water and maybe he is right but I like to think there are some nice minerals in there that aren't in normal water.. Yeah ok well anyway I mainly bought this to facilitate my final skincare step.



Step 4: While my face is still wet from the spritz, I apply a few drops of Trilogy Rosehip Oil all over my face and neck. Although this is an oil it sinks in very quickly so you are not left looking shiny faced for long. I really love this product, my skin seems much healthier and softer and I can almost feel it stopping those wrinkles in their tracks!



Step 5: I then apply some eye cream. At the moment I'm using a little sample of Lancome Genifique Youth Activating Eye Concentrate but I'm on the lookout for something else once that is used up. 



I know this may seem like a lot of bother to go to every night but really it only takes about 5 mins and your skin will thank you for it especially in a few years time:)
