Do you do your skincare routine in the morning or the evening? Is there a best time to do your beauty regime? If you are looking for top tips when it comes to what products to use and what routine is the most effective, we’ve got you covered. In this article, we will be exploring what the best time to do your nightt ime skincare routine is.
Why The Timing of Your Skincare Matters
Did you know that during the night, our skin goes into repair mode? When we go to sleep, our skin starts working to regenerate cells and reverse the damage caused by environmental factors. By properly timing your skincare routine, you can help improve this natural process. So, what do you have to consider before choosing a time for your skincare routine?
Firstly, you will need to give your skin time to absorb the products. From moisturiser to SPF, your skin will need at least 30 minutes to sink in. This prevents you from rubbing off half the product on your pillow before bed.
Skincare can also be a great way to wind-down before bed. Think of your beauty regime as a pre-sleep ritual that helps you relax before heading off to sleep. Good sleep is also crucial for glowing skin. Finally, be consistent with your skincare routine. Not only does this make it easier to remember and maintain, but it also helps your body to adjust to a routine.
The Perfect Skincare Routine
A skincare routine must work for you and you can adjust it based on what your complexion needs. However, we have the perfect basis to start with:
- Step One: Cleansing - This allows you to remove all the makeup, dirt and impurities that have accumulated throughout the day. It can also help to maintain your pore size and encourages proper skin hydration as it prevents the overproduction of oils. We, of course, would recommend our Smooth & Hydrating Cleanser which has been blessed by Reiki. Perfect for daily cleansing, our light and nourishing formula works to melt away the daily impurities and remove even the heaviest of makeup.
- Step Two: Toning - Toning your skin balances your skin’s pH balance and also works great if you are trying to improve your absorption of serums and moisturisers. Our Hydrating Skin Mist has rose water present, which acts as a natural toner for your complexion.
- Step 3: Treat - For your third step it is important to treat any ongoing skin ailments such as acne or breakouts. You can do this targeted serums and other skincare products.
- Step 4: Moisturise - One of our favourite steps is moisturising, which works to lock in hydration and continue to protect the skin's barrier. Our Hydrating Age Defying Day & Night Cream will restore, calm and nourish your skin. Made to support your collagen and elastin production, our cream can help you feel more youthful and beautiful in your skin.

Before bedtime, we would recommend avoiding heavy meals or drinking too much caffeine. Both of these can be killers of a good night’s rest and as mentioned above, your skin needs all the beauty sleep. Give your skin time to repair and rejuvenate. Also, we would suggest drinking plenty of water. Water is essential for keeping the body hydrated and refreshed and helps maintain your skin's elasticity
