In the past year I have discovered the joys of a nighttime skincare routine.
Now I know those of you who are skincare experts will yell at me and say, wait, you haven't been doing ANYTHING until now?
The answer to that is, yeah, pretty much. I'm super stingy and diligent about my morning routine, but when it comes to before bed, I'm lucky I get the makeup off my face most of the time.
I've been trying to get better about having a nighttime routine, while I'm still mostly guilty of using the dreaded makeup wipe, I've been trying to do better.
Thanks mostly to getting my monthly BoxyCharm, I've gotten quite a few products, and others not from the box, that I really love that I may not have tried otherwise. So I thought I'd share those with you!
Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Sleeping Mask
Described as the OG on their website, the Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Sleeping Mask was one of my first loves. There is so much to like about this product. First of all, it straight up smells like a watermelon Jolly Rancher. It's AMAZING. Even my husband comments how much he loves when I put it on because it smells so very yummy, lol. Aside from that, it feels super lightweight to the point that it hardly feels like you have anything on, and feels amazing on the skin.
When I wake up in the morning, my skin is soft, smooth and absolutely glowing. I honestly don't know why I don't just put this on every day. You can use the sleeping mask as a before bed/overnight treatment or like a regular face mask if you please. It has super ingredients like soothing, amino acid rich watermelon extract, hydrating hyaluronic acid. I definitely recommend this for any skin type.
REN Clean Skincare Evercalm Overnight Recovery Balm
I'm certain I have raved about this before, and if not, definitely the brand. I absolutely love every product I've ever tried from REN Clean Skincare from sunscreen to cleansers, etc. I cannot recommend it enough, but I digress. We're focusing on the glory that is the
Evercalm Overnight Recovery Balm. Now, I'm a grown-ass woman so I don't really get acne but every once in a while, I'll get a bad breakout or two. No lie, if I put this on before bed, those breakouts are either completely gone or significantly less noticeable by the morning. It's also great if you just feel like your skin is dull or needs a refresh. I cannot say enough positive things about this product. You only need a little bit and it feels like your wearing nothing. I will say the smell is not my absolute favorite (it's pretty hard to beat watermelon candy, lol) but it's subtle and natural.
This is a must-have for me and I recommend it to anyone with somewhat temperamental skin. I also find it to be really hydrating, so great for drier skin types as well. I will say I do not have bad acne, so if you do, this may not be the miracle worker you're looking for. But it will make your skin feel amazing! The brand also claims it is good for sensitive skin, which I can corroborate. It "uses lipids from Olive, Almond Borage and Linseed oils that easily absorb into the skin to intensely nourish and moisturize while you sleep when the skin's own regenerative process takes place," the website notes. I definitely wake up with renewed, supple-looking skin!
Glam Glow Good In Bed Passion Fruit Softening Night Cream
The further down the list I go, the more I realize that I am a big fan of a "softening" night time product! The
Good In Bed cream is no exception! This one is more of a traditional cream, unlike the other two I've recommended thus far. It smells delicious, like passion fruit of course, and is calming and cooling upon application. Again, this one is also lightweight and comfortable for overnight wear. When I wake up in the morning, my skin feels supple, nourished and renewed! I really like this product for when I don't need a complete overhaul, but more of a nice pick-me-up.
I've been a Glam Glow fan for a while, so no surprise that I'd like this product. I've also got
another mask from them that I have been wanting to try! This one has nourishing passion fruit oil, skin refining acids AHA, BHA and PHA, and my all-time favorite, hyaluronic acid. The Glam Glow website suggests this product to help with dryness, dullness and uneven texture, which I can vouch for. It certainly helps with all of those things!
Farmacy HONEYMOON GLOW AHA Resurfacing Night Serum with Hydrating Honey + Gentle Flower Acids
I have enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would! Again, the
Honeymoon Glow AHA Resurfacing Night Serum is different from the others in that it is a serum and not a gel, balm or cream. Obviously, I like to have a variety haha. This, I'd say, is my most intense nighttime product. I whip this baby out when my skin is feeling really dull and worn out. The serum feels nice on the skin, but not too heavy, especially after it dries down. I wake up in the morning with much more refreshed skin!
The product listing on Sephora's website describes the product as "A three-in-one night serum that resurfaces, hydrates, and clarifies dull skin while you sleep" and recommends it for all skin types. It also recommends the product for those who have concerns with pores, fine lines and wrinkles and loss of firmness and elasticity. I can agree with that, and have definitely noticed my pores look tighter. This would probably be a good product to add to your anti-aging routine as well!
Beekman 1802 Buttermilk Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm
I received this to try in exchange for a review and wound up really enjoying it! The packaging is so adorable and high end and I love the little spatula that comes with it! I try really hard to use this instead of makeup wipes, and I'm getting there. This feels so nice on the skin at the end of the day and I was seriously impressed with how easily it removed my eye makeup, especially the mascara. The scent is very subtle and natural and the whole brand seriously gives me cottage core vibes.
The Buttermilk Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm is super easy to use. I just use the little spatula to scoop out some product and just kinda slap it on my face and rub it in. It may feel kinda weird at first, but trust me, it will amaze you. I will say, be very careful around the eyes. I accidentally got some in my eyes when rubbing off my eye makeup and it was less than comfortable. It gave me that gooey eye feeling where it feels like there's a film over your eyes. I don't think it will actually harm you, considering it's made with natural ingredients. However, I'd still be careful. Once you've rubbed it all in, you can remove it using water on your hands or a cloth.
Once it's all off, you're left with clean, happy skin! I would say it makes my skin very soft and supple and nourished. Beekman 1802 recommends this for even the most sensitive skin. "Buttermilk cleanses and moisturizes without any irritants or sensitizers. It’s effective enough to remove even water-resistant makeup yet gentle enough for any type of skin." I really enjoy this product and it is kind of a two-in-one as it removes your makeup while cleansing the skin. It's put me one step close to ditching the wipes! lol. I will also say, the product reminds me of
an old favorite of mine from Lush if you're looking for a non-dairy or cheaper alternative!
