Night Time Skin Care Routine

A sensible plan to take care of your skin and help fight the visible signs of ageing.

Pre-Step: Use a makeup remover to remove all traces of makeup.

Step 1: Use a water soluble cleanser

Step 2: (optional) Use a fragrance free toner on the skin. This should contain antioxidants and or skin soothing ingredients.

Step 3: Use an exfoliant, either AHA or BHA product. Usage depends on how well your skin tolerates the product. AHA’s are best for normal to sun-damaged skin. BHA are best for oily to blemish prone skins – as BHA’s can exfoliate the pore whereas AHA’s only exfoliates the skins surface. If you are allergic to aspirin than ask your doctor about using a BHA product before.

Step 4: Use a retinol based product. Usage depends again on how well your skin tolerates it. Retinol can cause skin redness and peeling so bare this in mind. Not everyone can use this.

NOTE: If you’re using a medical Retin-A product (not that same as retinol) than a chemical exfoliant may not be necessary and may lead to increased skin sensitivity.

Step 5: Use a moisturiser that contains antioxidants and cell-communicating ingredients. This step is not necessary if you have oily skin. Oily skin has a built in moisturiser and over applying moisturisers can lead to an increase in breakouts.

NOTE:

AHA and BHA products are pH dependant and need to be within a pH of 3-5 in order to exfoliant properly. When the pH is over 5 its ability to exfoliate stops working and it becomes more of a moisturiser than an exfoliant.

If you do not use a chemical exfoliate or you can use a moisturiser that contains urea as this exfoliates and might be more beneficial to skin types that are very sensitive. You also have an option to use a scrub.

All products have been shown in studies to have a beneficial impact on the skin and will help in the fight against wrinkling and ageing.

In the day time make sure you use a sunscreen that is SPF 15 of higher and use enough to cover the face and neck.

It is ok to use a foundation that contains an SPF of 15 or higher but make sure you apply enough to cover the skin. A light application will not provide enough sun protection.

Remember everyones skin is different.

It would be nice if all cosmetics companies only sold products that truly worked with ingredients that were beneficial to the skin – sadly that is not the case. However i do believe that more and more products are coming on the market that are better researched and offer a much better chance of actually doing something – other than reducing our bank balances.

On a personal note i can use an exfoliant about 4-5 times a week – anything more and my skin gets dry. I also use the clarisonic face brush (which i personally think is very very good) but i only use this in the morning for 60 seconds. While this tool is considered a cleansing tool – it still as the ability to exfoliate so bare this in mind if you’re using it and adjust your routine accordingly.

If possible all products should be fragrance free and if possible colourant free.

I hope you found the above helpful. I believe it is more beneficial than the original video that mentioned skin layering.

Thank you for your time.

Acne
Anti Winkle Creams
Don’t forget to check the pH of liquid exfoliants.
Remember no true wrinkle cream exists that will get rid of wrinkles, if they did no one would have wrinkles and botox/fillers/face lifts, etc…would be out of business.
Don’t buy bottle antioxidant creams/lotions/serums as they are effected by light and you’ll end up throwing your money way.
