Overview

Your skin is exposed to tremendous stress. Then be it the physical stress of pollution, dirt, UV rays, increased screen time, or the increased mental and emotional stress we are all facing these days.

Which is why taking care of your skin before you sleep is tremendously important. Here are seven things you must do at night to wake up with flawless skin in the morning.

1. Wash your face

I will share with you my own procedure. Most of the time I wipe my face before bed, but these days my skin is especially oily. I cleanse first thing in the morning. If you really want to wake up with glowing, clear and smooth skin, you can try a double cleanse where you first use a cleansing oil or makeup remover balm and then a milk gel or cleanser (depending on your skin type - gel is great for oily/combination skin, while milk and cream cleansers are good for normal to dry skin).

If your skin is still oily, instead of washing again (which can lead to more sebum production), try using an astringent after cleansing

2. Follow a nightly under eye problems-fighting 

The under eye area is a very essential area that needs special care.From my experience, I recommend using the eye cream  which the use of eye cream not only moisturizes and softens the skin under the eyes, but also helps to solve problems such as wrinkles, dark circles, puffiness and fine lines.

3. Massage the skin around your eyes

This step it's the amazing tip in my skincare. Because massage is a quick, easy, and effective way to wake up and rejuvenate tired eyes. Gentle massage brings extra blood to your muscles and skin. The extra blood cleans out impurities that collect there overnight.

4. Moisturize for hydration

While hydration with drinking water can help to some extent, what your skin really needs at night is a topical moisturizer. Regardless of your skin type, using a thick moisturizer as the last step will lock in all the good skin care ingredients you used before with a final layer of hydration. 

5. Exfoliate the dirt

If you really want your skin to glow, use physical and chemical exfoliants, such as scrubs that also contain AHAs. You can use what's called a wake-up moisturizer, which brightens your skin and gives it a healthy glow. Using rose water before and after makeup can really radiate your skin and purify it from the inside out.

6. Cleanse for clear skin

Cleanse your skin, but use something that doesn't remove the natural oils from your face. In addition to choosing the right skin care products for your skin type and ensuring that the ingredients are not harmful to your skin, the cleansers you use on your face should also be gentle enough. After returning home, it is necessary to cleanse the skin with a damp handkerchief and cleanser, and then clean it with a facial cleanser. Cleanse will prepare your skin for nighttime products designed to help your skin do what it does best at night. 

7. Drink water 

In the days leading up to a special event, I put a lot of emphasis on drinking as much water as possible to nourish and hydrate my skin from within, but it works just as well at night. Before going to bed, be sure to moisturize your skin by drinking a full glass of water. 

Takeaway 

Every evening it is important to cleanse the skin of the makeup, sebum and dirt of the day, but sometimes we are simply too lazy and cannot put in the effort.

When you sleep at home, your skin has a chance to recover and rejuvenate. Trust me by investing in your own self-care at the end of each day, you will truly start to notice a change.
