Why your birthing suit deserves some extra TLC before bed
(What? Ah.. TLC is tender loving care..some extra compassion & lovin’! You deserve it!)
A night-time skincare routine is important for several reasons. First and foremost, it allows your skin to rest and regenerate. During the day, your skin is exposed to harmful UV rays, pollution, and other environmental factors that can damage the skin cells. At night, however, it is not exposed to the same environmental stressors. This makes it the perfect time to give your skin some extra attention and care so that it can focus on repairing and regenerating itself.
Secondly, a night-time skincare routine can help to prevent premature aging. As you sleep, your skin repairs itself, producing collagen and elastin which keep your skin firm and plump. Using products such as serums and moisturizers at night can help to support this process, keeping your skin looking youthful and radiant. Grace & Glamour says: #Start young, go long!
Additionally, a night-time skincare routine can help to address specific skin concerns. Whether you’re dealing with acne, hyperpigmentation, or dull skin, there are products and treatments available that can help to improve your skin’s condition. By incorporating these treatments into your night-time skincare routine, you can see better results and faster improvement.
Finally, a night-time skincare routine can be a relaxing and rejuvenating self-care practice. Taking a few minutes each night to care for your skin can help to reduce stress and promote a sense of calm. It’s a chance to take care of yourself and unwind before bed, helping you to get a better night’s sleep.
Grace & Glamour’s simple step-by-step night-time skincare routine for you
Step 1: Remove Makeup
The first step in any night-time skincare routine is to remove all traces of makeup. Sleeping with makeup on can clog your pores, leading to breakouts and dull-looking skin. You can use a gentle makeup remover or micellar water to get rid of your makeup. Gently massage the product into your skin, and then use a cotton pad or soft cloth to wipe it away.
Step 2: Cleanse
Once you’ve removed your makeup, it’s time to cleanse your skin. Cleansing helps to remove any dirt, oil, or impurities that may have built up on your skin throughout the day. Choose a gentle, pH-balanced cleanser that won’t strip your skin of its natural oils. Massage the cleanser onto your skin in circular motions, and then rinse it off with lukewarm water.
Step 3: Exfoliate
Exfoliating your skin once or twice a week will help to remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and brighten your complexion. You can use a physical exfoliator, such as a scrub, or a chemical exfoliator, such as an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) or beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) solution. Apply the exfoliator to your skin in gentle, circular motions, being careful not to scrub too hard or too long. Rinse your face with lukewarm water after exfoliating.
Step 4: Apply Toner
Toning your skin helps to balance its pH levels and prep it for the next steps in your skincare routine. Grace & Glamour skin experts tell our clients to always look for a toner that contains antioxidants, such as vitamin C or green tea, to help protect your skin from environmental stressors. Choose a toner that’s appropriate for your skin type. If you have oily skin, look for a toner that contains salicylic acid, which can help to unclog pores. If you have dry skin, look for a toner that’s hydrating and contains ingredients like hyaluronic acid. Apply the toner to a cotton pad and gently sweep it across your face.
Step 5: Apply Serum
Serums are lightweight and contain concentrated formulas of active ingredients that can penetrate deeper into your skin to target specific skin concerns. Choose a serum that contains ingredients that target your specific skin concerns, such as hyaluronic acid for hydration or retinol for anti-aging benefits. Whether you want to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, brighten your complexion, or reduce the appearance of dark spots, Grace & Glamour promises you, there’s a serum that suits your needs. Apply a small amount of serum to your face and neck, and gently pat it into your skin.
Step 6: Moisturize
Moisturizing your skin is important to lock in the active ingredients from the previous steps and keeps your skin hydrated throughout the night. Choose a moisturizer that’s appropriate for your skin type. If you have oily skin, look for a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer. If you have dry skin, look for a heavier, more hydrating moisturizer. Generally, Glamourites recommend looking for a moisturizer that contains ingredients such as ceramides, glycerine, or hyaluronic acid to help keep your skin moisturized and soft. Apply the moisturizer to your face and neck, and gently massage it into your skin.
Step 7: Apply Eye Cream
The skin around your eyes is delicate and prone to wrinkles, so it’s important to give it some extra attention. Use an eye cream that is specially formulated for this area to help hydrate and firm the skin. Look for an eye cream that contains ingredients such as caffeine or vitamin K to help reduce puffiness and dark circles. Apply a small amount of eye cream to your under-eye area, using your ring finger to gently tap it in. Be careful not to pull or tug at your skin.
