We see you, Night Owl.

P.M.

As the seasons change, it’s important that your PM routine changes with it. A lot of good happens while your skin is at rest, especially if you’re using the right products. Let’s review your nighttime routine.

Cleanse

Get yourself to the bathroom sink: every. single. night.

It’s important to your skin health that you remove the oils, dirt, and makeup from the day.

Skin tip: try a double cleanse.

Do it with an oil cleanser first. Why? Like dissolves like. Cleansing oils are gentle on the skin and contain hydrating and soothing ingredients that can lift excess oil from your skin, clean out clogged pores and remove dead skin, pollutants, and makeup.

Treat

This is the personal part of the routine (which we love!)

When you treat your skin, you combat your skin concerns.

P.M. MUST HAVES

Retinol

If you’re closing in on 30, or if you’re over 30, your P.M. routine should include a retinol.

Retinol is a type of retinoid, which is made from vitamin A.

It’s a collagen booster that helps to eliminate and reduce signs of aging by improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as skin texture. Because the evening is a time of rest and repair and cell turnover is at its peak, we always recommend using a retinol at night.

Hyaluronic Acid (HA)

If not already in your routine, the Fall is a great time to add HA.

Hyaluronic Acid prevents cooler weather from drying out the skin.

It leaves skin feeling smooth and supple.

Protect

Moisturizer

Opt for a protective moisturizer with a richer, thicker consistency heading into the fall/winter months.

You want something that provides extra hydration as well as helps to repair a dry barrier. Using a good moisturizer will help lock in the benefits of your products in the treatment phase of your routine, so don’t skip this step!
