We cannot stress enough how important it is to have a proper and dedicated routine for your skin and hair in order to keep them in their best possible state. Our skin and hair are exposed to a multitude of environmental aggressors throughout the day that can easily cause significant damage to them, resulting in deteriorated health of your hair and skin. Your mornings should begin with a proper beauty routine and your nights should end with one as well. Making a few tweaks in your routine certainly makes a huge difference in the health of your skin and hair, and that’s what we all strive for. While it’s important to include certain products like SPF, moisturizer, and a scarf or hat during the daytime, your bedtime routine could also use the same kind of consideration but with some different products. Since your skin tends to repair and rejuvenate itself during the night, it’s imperative to use the products very wisely in order to wake up to radiant skin the next morning. Listed below are a few bedtime beauty rituals every girl must follow for glowing skin.
Erase every trace of makeup from your face
First things first, it’s vital to clean your face using makeup remover to get rid of every inch of makeup. Sleeping with your makeup on can invite a lot of skin problems such as acne, irritation, itchiness, and much more. You can use the very popular double cleansing technique to cleanse your face. After you are done removing makeup from your face, follow it with a mild cleanser to remove oil, dirt, and makeup residue from the skin.
Use a face serum
Nighttime is the best time to use skincare products containing potent ingredients as they tend to work more effectively while you are asleep and your skin is in repair mode. Face serums are known to contain potent ingredients; they help to give your skin a firm and smooth texture whilst also minimizing the appearance of pores. Additionally, serums are also rich in vitamins and nutrients that help in addressing several skin issues. Therefore, you should regularly use a face serum before going to bed in order to wake up to radiant skin.
Apply an eye cream
Do your eyes look wrinkly, tired, and puffy in the morning when you wake up? That could be the result of a lack of hydration around your eyes. This is where an eye cream comes into the picture. You should apply it underneath your eyes before hitting the sheets. Gently massage it around your eye area using your fingertip, let it sink, and it will work its magic. Skipping this step might make your eyes look older and mature than the rest of your face.
Moisturize your hands
While it’s extremely important to have a dedicated skincare routine for your face, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t look after the other parts of your skin. Throughout the day, your hands get subjected to a lot of work and are exposed to water several times a day, which can easily leave them dry and dehydrated. Therefore, you should always moisturize your hands before going to bed to keep them smooth, baby soft, and well-nourished.
Always sleep with your hair tied
Some girls like to sleep with their hair loose, and the other few like to keep it tied, and if you happen to belong to the former category, we would suggest you tying your hair before hitting the sheets. You can either tie your hair in a bun or pony, aside from keeping the hair from your face; it will also keep your mane frizz-free whilst also preventing knots and tangles.
