If I have makeup on, my first step is always makeup removal. I have two go-to products for this, but I never use them both at once. It depends on my mood, click on the products below for the direct link.
Option 1: Farmacy Green Clean Cleansing Balm This oil-based cleansing balm melts away all your makeup and preps your skin for your regular cleanser. You’ve probably heard of double cleansing, and this is the first step.
Option 2: Caudalie Vinoclean Micellar Water If I want something lighter, I reach for the Caudalie Micellar Water. It’s perfect for quickly removing makeup with a cotton round, especially around my eyes. You can find micellar water from other brands, but Caudalie is special because it’s made from organic grapes, so you get those extra antioxidants.
Now onto the routine….
Step 1: Cleanse For my night cleanser, I rotate between three favorites:
- OSEA Ocean Cleanser (what I’ve been using lately)
- Drunk Elephant Jelly Cleanser (haven’t used it in a while, but it’s solid)
- Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cleanser (this one is so good I used it all up!)
If I had to pick one, I’d go with Kiehl’s—it lives up to the hype!
Step 2: Tone Just like in the morning, I use the PanOxyl Clarifying Exfoliant to tone my skin.
Step 3: Hydrate with Hyaluronic Acid I follow that with my OSEA Hyaluronic Sea Serum to lock in hydration overnight.
Step 4: Night Serum Next, I use the Drunk Elephant TLC Framboos Glycolic Night Serum, which has both AHA and BHA to gently exfoliate and refine my skin while I sleep.
Step 5: Acne Treatment Then, I apply my Curology acne cream—same as the morning, because consistency is key!
Step 6: Face Oil I layer on my Drunk Elephant Marula Oil again for that deep moisture and glow.
Step 7-8: Moisturize For my night moisturizer, I have a few favorites:
- Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream (my ride-or-die!)
- OSEA Dream Night Cream (for extra collagen)
Step 9: Lash and Brow Serum Next, I go in with my The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Lash and Brow Serum. I love this one because it’s natural and really helps thicken and strengthen my lashes. I apply it to both my lashes and brows for fuller, healthier results.
Step 10: Lip Care And of course, I can’t forget my lips. I finish with the Summer Fridays Lip Butter again to keep them soft overnight.
