Day 8: Winter Night Routine

Today I will be sharing my night routine with you. I pretty much have the simplest routine out there so there really isn't much. Let's began!

My family and I usually eat around 6 or 7 every night. After that, I either finish my homework or clean my room. Then, I take my shower.

When I take my shower I use Suave Ocean Breeze shampoo and conditioner for my hair. I use the Clean and Clear essentials foaming facial cleanser for my face and apply it by using my hands. A cool trick I learned was before you get out of your shower run cool water for a few minutes over your face and hair. This is believed to close your pores and prevent/help stop new zits to form on your face. The cool water helps your hair by strengthening it and making it shiny! If you try it out, tell me in the comments if it worked for you!

After I get out of my shower, I immediately use my Lush melt. This is essentially a solid form of lotion that Lush made. The way you apply this is rubbing the lotion on your skin while it is still damp from your shower. The heat from your hand will help it melt all over your skin. This is a miracle in the winter because it leaves your body soft and moisturized the next day. The only downside is, it makes your body very sticky and your hair can stuck to your body whenever you use this. Personally, I hate the sticky feeling but it is totally worth it when you feel the softness of your skin the next morning. 

My next step is to put on my pajama and socks! Today I am wearing my onesie from Marshalls. This was only $24! It is so freaking soft that I could live in it. Most of the time I don't even need to pull my sheets on because this thing is warm enough! My socks I wore, I got last year when my friends and I  did secret Santa. They have little snowmen smiling in the snow. They too are super cozy and soft. Fun fact: I hate onesies with feet because I always hated the feeling of them on.

After getting my pajamas on I start on my bathroom routine. I first use my Up & Up benzoyl peroxide cream. This helps with zits and future zits. I mostly put this where my hairline is and around my nose to prevent any blemishes. Then I use my face goddess cream. I feel like I have blogged about it before but if not then what have I been doing with my life. This face cream is amazing! It moisturizes my face and is a lot less sticky when you use it. I instantly feel it sink into my skin. The next morning my face feels like it is brand new. Most of the time, after I have done my face, I dry my hair. I absolutely know I have blogged about my hair oil in my April Favorites blog post. (Click here to read it)! Sadly I am running out. I will need to pick some up when I am out. Lastly, I finish my routine off with my lips. I either use my EOS lip balm or my Softlips. Sometimes when I feel my lips are really chapped I use both. Chapstick is a ESSENTIAL to winter. You don't want your lips to be cracked during the holidays. Pretty much the only difference between my "normal" routine to this one is I just really focus on making sure my skin is healthy and soft! 

After that, I am pretty much done! I hop into bed and wait until my alarm wakes me up the next morning and the cycle begins again! Have a great night and love you all! 

Facial night Routine

When it's time to detox from the long day, I like to take a nice shower and let my face replenish itself overnight. For that to happen I always like to do a nightly facial routine. So, here are the products that I like to use. 

Advanced Deep Cleansing Duo

My skin is a very sensitive, especially on my face. So when my family started using the big pro handheld face scrubber that cost more than $100 I wanted one myself. Before I was using this amazing tool, I would just use a face bar in the shower. It did the job but it made my face very dry and it was hard to move. Finally, when I saw this at my local Ulta I knew I wanted to try it out. The best part it was only $10. This Advanced Deep Cleaning Duo combines a two-speed, rotating brush and an oil-free acne cleanser. Using these two simple tools has reduced all the little red dots that feel the need to pop up on my face, Making my skin feel clear and smooth!

Mary Kay Makeup Remover

This I got from my mom. (Thank you, Mom!) I use this oil-free eye makeup remover right after I finish using the face hand brush. The way I use this is by squirting a tiny bit of it into the cap and use a cotton swab that has been dipped in the makeup remover. It's easy to use. Also, if you can't tell I love this stuff. 

Acne-fighting Roll-on Gel:

Now, I got this life saver for only, wait for it...$1. Yes, you read right - only $1. It's so simple to use by rolling the little metal ball on the spot where you want to reduce on your face and presto over a few days that area will be gone or very hard to notice. This product is a real skincare life hack! I use this roller after I am done with getting all my makeup off.

Dermasil Labs Oil Free Night Moisturizer Facial Cream:

Sadly I was not able to take a home picture of my cream but I knew I needed to add this. Now, I got this AMAZING face cream at the Dollar Store for, of course, $1. This cream is a hypo-allergenic with Vitamin A & E. This cream "enriches skin with intense moisture to leave it softer and smoother while relieving skin's dryness". Dermasil cream literally replenishes my face overnight in a jiffy. I wake up every time I use this and feel like my skin is so smooth and is ready to start the day of right. I use this facial cream after I am done with the roller. I feel like this just seals in all the products and makes my skin feel awesome!
