Night Routine: My 8-Steps Skin Care Routine Order

Having acne-prone skin, an excessive 8-steps night routine pays off. I can’t even imagine how it would look without all of the love that I invest in my skincare routine. Understanding that many of you might be interested in learning about the exact products that I’m currently using and loving, I decided to share with you my current step-by-step skincare routine order.

Step 1: Eye Makeup Remover

I always start my night routine by removing eye makeup with Bioderma Micellar Water. I’m wearing contacts and have sensitive eyes, and it’s the only product that never failed me.

If you never used micellar water before, its consistency reminds a toner, but it serves an entirely different purpose. It gently melts makeup and refreshes the skin at the same time.

I apply the product with a cotton round (a separate one for each eye). I also use an individual round on my lips, especially if I’m wearing liquid or waterproof lipstick. There is no better way to remove heavy-duty makeup!

Step 2: Face Makeup Remover

While you can use micellar water to remove makeup from the entire face, lately, I’ve been into a cleansing balm for removing facial makeup. I recently mentioned Eve Lom Cleanser in Bloomingdale’s unboxing post, and that’s one of the cleansing balms I’ve been using at the time.

Another great option is Cleansing Balm by Elemis. I apply a thick layer of the product all over my face and massage it for a few moments before jumping in a shower. The product melts any, even the heaviest, makeup, and leaves my skin soft and smooth when I remove the balm with sponges or muslin cloth damped in warm water.

Step 3 and 4: Double-Cleanse

Since I’m wearing makeup every single day, I believe that it’s essential to incorporate a two-step cleansing technique. Such an approach allows removing all of the dirt from my skin, so it’s ready for all of the nourishing products that I’ll be using afterward.

I mentioned my favorite cleanser, La Roche-Posay Toleriane Cleanser, and I didn’t find the product that overpowered this product ever since. It’s a super gentle all-natural cleanser that not only correctly cleans my skin, but also nourishes it.

Step 5: Toner

I recently started using a new toner by True Botanicals, and I’m already in love with it. The product is called Nutrient Toner, and it is a lifesaver for people who are struggling with acne-prone skin like mine.

The formula of this toner incorporates natural oils and ingredients that disinfect skin, shrinks pores, and helps to eliminate blemishes. I started using this product just a few weeks ago, and I already see the improvements in my skin.

Now I’m planning on updating my entire beauty routine with the products from this organic skincare line. By the way, I use the same toner after a workout to prevent a bacteria buildup that may occur if I use the workout gear and then accidentally touch my face.

Step 6: Eye Cream

I already mentioned the eye cream by Retrouve a few months ago, and I’m still using and loving it. The cream is full of all-natural ingredients that nourish my skin and prevents wrinkles.

To be honest, I’m a bit due on my Botox appointment. But my around eye area looks moist and fine lines free. And I have all the reasons to believe that I have to thank Retrouve Revitalizing Eye Concentrate for it.

Step 7: Serum

My new favorite serum is also my True Botanicals. I started testing it together with a toner and. I kind of got addicted to it. The product features a very lightweight formula that is nourishing enough that you can use it without any follow-up moisturizer. But since it’s a cold season, I still prefer an extra layer of moisturizing at night.

True Botanicals Cellular Repair Serum is one of those unique products that help to eliminate blemishes but doesn’t make your skin dry. I genuinely enjoy how lightweight and quickly absorbing the product is, and it’s an essential product in my everyday skincare routine.

Step 8: Moisturizer

I prefer having a bit more layers of moisturizing at night, especially during the cold seasons, so I apply Lotus Youth Preserve Face Cream by Fresh. If you remember my post about the benefits of using lotus extract in skincare, you’ll understand why I’m so addicted to this rich, nourishing cream. It smells delicious and makes the difference in how hydrated my skin is.

Ever since I started using this fantastic daily moisturizer, I can’t even recall the last time my skin felt overly dry or patchy. This luxurious beauty product is a perfect way to finish my nighttime routine!

    That sounds awesome! I don’t really use make-up removers because I don’t wear make-up but it’s good to know how to properly remove make-up while taking good care of your skin.

    I follow the exact same routine (with different products) except for the Clarisonic. I actually want to try it since I believe it cleans deeper than washing my face with my hands.
