Nightly Skincare Routine

This might sound silly, but one of the best parts of my day is taking my makeup off and cleansing my face at night. You're probably thinking "okay, weirdo". My nightly shower comes at a time when I am done will all of my days activities and I've finished my homework, so the shower is just the beginning of my little free time. Once I finish showering at night and finish my skincare routine, I typically light up my favorite candle and read a book or watch an episode of some show to relax and wind down from the day.

I love feeling so clean and fresh, especially when it comes to my face. As much as I'd love to say there is some magical makeup product that prevents my face from getting oily, said product has yet to be produced (at least in my experience). By the end of my day my face has begun to feel a bit "blah" and oil definitely comes with the territory, so having a freshly cleansed face is wonderful!

How my Relaxation Process Begins...

1. Remove eye makeup

I start off with a cotton pad and stick it on the top opening of the bottle and wet the cotton pad with the eye makeup remover. Start at my eyebrow, I gently rub off my makeup with the cotton pad until I get to my eye lashes. I wear waterproof mascara and we all know how hard that is to get off, so I hold the cotton pad on my eye lashes for about 10 seconds and gently rub until the mascara is gone. 

2. Remove face makeup

These face wipes are amazing for people with sensitive skin. I was never able to use any other brands facial removing wipes because they would break me out immensely. Starting at my forehead, I gently rub the wipe all over my face until the makeup is no longer appearing on the wipe. 

3. Happily cleanse face using the clarisonic mia

After wetting the brush of my clarisonic, I put purity in the "ring" of the brush (if you don't have a clarisonic, this probably won't make a whole of sense since the picture online doesn't do it justice), but the brush has brissels slightly seperated into an inter and outer circle, so I put it between that. Then I just turn on my clarisonic and cleanse. The purity stays on my face for about a minute and then I rinse it off. Also, just a side note for the purity, I buy the 32fl oz. which is around $50 and I know that seems very expensive for a face wash, however it lasts me an entire year so in my mind, it's worth the more expensive price! :) 

4. Apply magical toner

Yes, I just called this a magical toner...but for me, it is! PRODUCT NOTE: you MUST shake before you use!! Shake the product for about 10 seconds, then let it sit for a moment while you brush your hair or get dressed. I use a cotton pad and again, put it on the top opening and get the cotton pad wet (I repeat this in three different spots to get the whole cotton pad wet), then gently rub into your face. 

5. Apply moisturizer

I use about 3 pumps of this moisturizer and place little dots on my forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin. I gently rub it in on my face and down my neck. This isn't my favorite moisturizer ever, but it's what I have on hand right now and until I use it up, I won't get a new one because I do not want to waste money. 

I'd love to hear your nightly skincare routine! :)
