MOST LOVED: NIGHTIME ESSENTIALS
As the day winds down, I find solace in my nightly routine—a time dedicated to self-care and rejuvenation. With a STREAMLINED approach to my skincare, I prefer using the least amount of products, focusing on simplicity and ease. For me, the efficiency of a product is just as crucial as its effectiveness. That’s why I choose clean beauty: these products align with my values and leave my skin looking and feeling great—a cherry on top.
Having a nighttime routine isn't just about skincare; it's a vital part of my life that helps calm my mind and body, signaling to my brain that it's time to rest and sleep. Unwinding this way is great for my overall well-being, and of course, I give my skin all it needs to repair itself while I sleep.
The Perfect Start: The Cleanser
I begin my routine by slipping on my TBC Cotton Headband to protect my hair from the products. Next, I reach for my favorite: the MUCK Balancing Oil Cleanser. It cleanses and replenishes my skin without stripping it of its natural oils, and It gently dissolves even the most stubborn makeup, so basically it works hard, so I don’t have to.
Once I massage the oil into my skin, I use my TBC Face minis, which wipe everything off gently.
The Unconventional Order
Going against the norm, I like applying my moisturizer right after cleansing. During the summer, my favorite for nighttime is the MIMAR Blue Tansy Face Cream. It melts into the skin, transforming from a cream to a serum-like texture. This face cream strengthens and repairs the skin barrier, reduces redness and inflammation, promotes cell turnover, and prevents water loss. Magic in a bottle? It has to be!
The final touch: The Treatment
I complete my routine with a plant-based alternative to retinol: the MUCK Retinoic Nutrient Serum. This serum targets signs of premature aging and it heals my sensitive skin. literally. made with 21 nutrient-rich botanicals, it helps with cellular renewal, and fights hyperpigmentation and acne scarring.
I love its oil-like consistency, which provides extra hydration and creates the perfect slip for my wellness stone gua sha. I spend about 5-7 minutes massaging my face, neck, and decollete to enhance lymphatic drainage, promote detoxification, and boost blood flow. This ritual leaves my skin revitalized and sculpted, like a mini facial before bed!
The Ultimate Beauty Sleep Secret
I sleep on a silk pillowcase, which is fantastic for my skin ( and hair, might I add) Silk is gentle on the skin, reduces friction, and helps prevent wrinkles and fine lines. It also keeps my skin hydrated and reduces irritation, making it an essential part of my nighttime routine.
This final and oh!-so-luxurious detail ensures I wake up Looking and feeling rejuvenated.
