Between work, family, friends and the daily grind, your skin gets exposed to dirt, pollution, and harsh weather conditions. At the end of the day, all you want to do is flop on your bed and get some much-needed rest. But did you know, in time, all that harmful exposure during the day can cause premature aging and damage your skin?  To prevent the damage to your skin, you need to establish a night skincare routine that cares, protects, and nourishes your skin.

Here are 10 night time skincare tips for you to try out

Step 1: Remove your makeup:

Sometimes, you need to end the day on a fresh note. Start your night care routine by using a quality makeup remover to gently erase the makeup from your face.

Step 2: Cleanse, Cleanse & Cleanse:

Although you already started to clean your face by removing your makeup, a good cleanse doesn’t end there. Wash your face with a combination of warm water and a cleanser. (Rinse it off thoroughly).

Step 3: Exfoliate:

Although exfoliation can work wonders on your skin, this step is only to be carried out twice or thrice a week. In order to have fresh, supple skin, you need to slough off the dead cells on the surface. Concentrate on the pores on your cheeks and on scrubbing off the blackheads on your nose. Blackheads and pores on your nose and cheeks can be persistent, but overusing your exfoliator is never a good idea.

Step 4: Tone it up:

Follow the exfoliation with an alcohol-based toner to restore the PH balance of your skin. Just moisten the cotton ball and pat it gently over your face and neck.

Step 5: Moisturise:

After you’ve cleansed your face, moisturizing it is essential. When you wash your face, essential oils get washed away along with any dirt or makeup. To replenish and nourish your skin, moisturizer is essential. (Choose a water-based moisturizer if you have oily skin.) Take a little extra time out and moisturize your skin.

Step 6: Eye Cream:

There are no oil glands around your eyes, which means they require extra attention. Use an eye cream to prevent puffiness, dark circles and moisturize the fragile skin around your eyes. Tap the cream in lightly and remember not to tug or stretch the skin when you are massaging the cream in.

Step 7: Lip Care:

At the end of the day, we all come home to dry, cracked or slightly chapped lips (unless you regularly use a lip balm.) To soothe your lips, wash them with warm water and use a soft cloth to dry them – this will remove any dead skin. Add a light coat of lip balm to keep your lips nourished through the night.

Step 8: Switch to Silk:

We all tend to toss and turn in our sleep – particularly after a stressful day. However, in the process, your pillowcase tugs and pulls at your skin. Silk pillowcases don’t do that. They let your skin rest.

Step 9: Sleep on your Back:

Pushing your face into your pillow can often increase the likelihood of wrinkles on your face. To prevent this, try cultivating a habit of sleeping on your back.

Step 10: Brush out your hair:

Want to avoid hair fall or terribly knotted hair when you wake up? Brush your hair out and add a night-time leave in conditioner. Don’t tie your hair into a ponytail as this will increase the breakage of your hair.

However, the most important step in your nightly routine for skincare is rest. Make sure you avoid too many late nights or drink caffeine loaded products just before you sleep. A good night’s rest is a sure-fire way to wake up with healthy, glowing skin.

Knowing Your Skin

We glance quickly at the skin on the rest of our bodies when we shave, and we know to cover our skin when it’s cold. But do we really know our skin? Is it Sensitive or thick? Dry or oily? Does your skin react differently when you change your lotions, cleansers, and creams? How often do new moles or wrinkles develop? Do you have a skincare routine?

Your skin is very important to your overall health and well-being. Take time to really look at your skin, and get to know its various features and subtleties. If you are not satisfied with your current skin care products, look for higher quality natural organic products that will improve the condition of your skin.

Skin Care Tip: Enlist the help of a dermatologist who can help you understand your particular skin type, and recommend skin care products that would work best for you. Also a natural skincare expert to examine your skin, point out trouble spots, and monitor the condition of your skin.

Protecting Your Skin

The ultraviolet rays of the sun are damaging to your skin and to your health.  Sun exposure can lead to premature aging, sagging, wrinkles, skin discoloration, and the development of cancer. The damage to the skin from sunlight will continue to accumulate over time even if the suntan will eventually fade at the end of the summer. Take measures to protect your skin from the sun and its damaging rays.

Sun Screen: Sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15 helps block the damaging rays of the sun, and it should be used every day for adequate protection. Even if you don’t plan on sunbathing, you are exposed to the sun when you drive in the car or walk into the grocery store. If you tend to sweat heavily, or if you are exercising vigorously, reapply the sunscreen every two to three hours throughout the day.

Reduce Sun Exposure: In addition to wearing sunscreen, it’s a good idea to reduce the amount of ultraviolet radiation your skin is exposed to every day. Limit your time outdoors between 10:00 am and 3:00 pm when the sun is directly overhead and strongest. Wear protective clothing such as wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses to block the sun’s rays. And when you do have to expose yourself to the sun, try to build up your tolerance in modest increments each day.

Cleansing Your Skin

Next, to sun protection, proper skin cleansing is the next best thing you can do for the care and protection of your skin. Washing your skin helps to remove the pollutants, dirt, bacteria, dead skin cells, perspiration, cosmetics, and debris that accumulate on your skin. Choose a gentle skin cleanser based on your skin type and special skin care needs (i.e. anti-acne, or sensitive skin.)  And wash your skin as necessary to keep it clean, fresh, and functioning properly.

Skin Care Tip: do not rub skincare cleansers into your skin. Instead, lather the soap or gel into a foam in your hands, apply to the skin and rinse off well.  This will keep the cleansers from overly drying, blocking, or irritating the skin’s pores.

Maintaining Healthy Skin

Moisturizers: Skincare moisturizers smooth and soften skin and help to lock in its natural moisture. They can be particularly soothing to dry or sensitive skin. And they provide great protection for the skin during wet, cold, or chapping (windy) weather.

Lifestyle: Your skin needs a good balance of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients in order to function and remain healthy. Adequate exercise helps improve circulation and move waste and nutrients through the system. Eat a healthy diet and get plenty of exercises to keep your skin, and the rest of your body in tip-top condition.

Skin Care Tip: Drink at least six to eight glasses of water throughout the day to hydrate the skin and circulate essential nutrients. Also, avoid chlorinated pools and hot tubs. Chlorine is damaging to the skin. Get a shower filter to filter out the harmful chemicals from your city water supply.
