There are many skincare routines out there; and many, many more products that are promoted to treat all kinds of skin problems. This can make creating a routine very overwhelming. But to help you get started here is a very minimal but very effective nighttime routine.

We recommend starting off with a cleanser.

Facial Cleansing is the most important part of the routine, especially before bed. As you can imagine, our skin accumulates dust, dirt, pollution, and dead skin cells throughout the day that sit on the surface of our skin blocking our pores. All these external factors, combined with the makeup we wear and the natural oils we produce, are a recipe for disaster if we go to bed with it all on.

Cleansing is so important as it gets rid of all these damaging concerns. It helps keep our skin clear, healthy, and glowing. Without cleansing, we would be causing our skin so much harm– from acne to even premature ageing!

 

 

The Luma Blue Acne Light Therapy Pimple Cleansing Brush is a wonderful cleanser that uses LED light therapy to clean pores and fight acne. It is FDA cleared and suitable for all skin types, and it works by penetrating the pores on the skin surface. By doing so, it can effectively remove cosmetics residues, cutin, dead skin cells, acne and blackhead and diminish pores When the blue LED light therapy is used consistently, it can adjust skin sebum secretion thereby reducing the number of acne-causing bacteria significantly to help prevent any breakouts even in the future.

However, if light therapy is not your thing, you can try out Project E Beauty Hydrating Facial Cleanser which has a cream-based consistency. It features a deep cleansing formula that lifts surface debris and impurities from the skin. The cleanser is an effective facial cleansing tool that removes dirt from the skin that could cause clogged pores and blackheads. Not only does it smell divine, but it also offers a creamy consistency that replenishes moisture back into the skin. It keeps skin healthy and clean with regular usage. This hydrating facial cleanser is suitable for all skin types for everyone.

Don’t forget the eyes, indulge in a good eye cream.

But keep in mind; although your face and neck are important to cleanse at night, it can be easy to forget the skin around the eyes. It needs a different kind of care than the rest of your face. It is a much more sensitive area as it is extremely thin and hardly has any fat tissue underneath. For this reason, a good eye cream, apart from a facial cream, is clutch. It can help reduce puffiness and dark circles around the eyes and can also help smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Because of how sensitive the skin is, it can be predisposed to premature aging; a good eye cream would defend against these signs.

 

 

One of our favorites is the Project E Beauty Age Defender Eye Cream. This cream visibly reduces puffiness, lines, and dark circles. It is light with a non-greasy consistency and is specially formulated to defend against signs of pre-mature aging around the eyes. Additionally, it visibly reduces puffiness, smooths the look of fine lines and wrinkles, and diminishes the appearance of dark circles around the eyes. To use the eye cream, apply a small amount to your fingertips and gently pat around the eye region. This motion is best for absorption of the product.

End on a high with a facial cream.

An ideal moisturizer will have intense hydrating properties that help fill in the appearance of lines and wrinkles and helps restore moisture for smoother, plumper skin. Another amazing benefit of a facial cream is that it creates a moisturizing film to keep skin fresh and calm. A moisturizer like this should be used on a daily basis, but also at night before bed. When you go to sleep with a moisturizer on, you’re allowing your skin to absorb all the benefits of it without being disturbed. It gives it a decent 6-7 hours of rest with no makeup on, making it the ideal time to moisturize.

 

 

If you’re in the market for a good facial cream, you’re in luck! The Project E Beauty Nourishing Facial Moisturizer meets all these requirements and more. It has anti-aging qualities with the help of the ingredient Hyaluronic acid which supports cell renewal, boosting elasticity & skin radiance. The ingredients work in harmony, reducing the signs of age for a younger-looking face. Further, A combination of plant extract brings powerful hydration and anti-wrinkle effect.

This facial cream is also perfect for oily skin because it is extremely lightweight. It can be easily absorbed to leave skin luxuriously hydrated and instantly refreshed. To use, apply a small amount to your fingertips after a good cleanse, and using gentle motions, massage it into the skin. Allow some time for it to be absorbed, and you’re all good to go!

Get it going!

With this simplified routine, break past the intimidation of combing through various many products and routines, and give your skin the love and care it deserves!
