7-Step Night Skincare Routine for Glowing Skin in Summer
No matter what’s going on in your life, your skincare routine is the one constant. Do you remember that Friday night when you partied so hard with your friends and came home super-late, but still went ahead and carried your night skincare routine keeping aside sleep & fatigue? Believe us, your skin is thankful to you for doing that. But as the seasons change, your night skincare routine also needs to change. Even if your minimalist skincare doesn’t involve too many steps, you can make some basic changes and make it summer-appropriate.
We have curated an easy 7-step night skincare routine that’s so simple you can follow it even right before dozing off after a weekend night out. 😛
Step 1: Remove Makeup
We know we mention this one a lot on our skincare blogs, but trust us—removing makeup before bed is SUPER IMPORTANT—in any season! But in summer sleeping with your makeup on can be a nightmare for your pores and can render all your further skincare routine steps kinda useless.
Step 2: Cleanse Your Face
Yes—just removing makeup isn’t enough. If you have oily skin, make sure you use an oil-control face wash, but also ensure that it is hydrating and doesn’t dry out your skin as that could cause acne too.
Step 3: Exfoliate, But Mildly
A good, mild exfoliator is a must after you’ve cleansed your face. It helps get rid of dead skin and any dirt remaining on your skin that your cleanser may have missed.
Step 4: Clay Mask for Cooling & Soothing the Skin
A clay mask is essential especially in summer to calm your skin. It can be treated as an extra step if you’re willing to stay up for 10-15 minutes more😀.
Step 5: Apply Night Cream—the Most Important Step
The best night cream for glowing skin is one that will heal your skin through the night without making it sticky, and alongside, fight the signs of aging too. If you choose retinol, make sure to start with a low concentration like 0.25%. Also, NEVER skip sunscreen once you’ve begun your retinol skincare.
Step 6: Moisturizer/Face Cream for Summer
Choose a good oil-free face cream for summer that’s not just hydrating but also oil-free. Don’t skip this step even for oily skin, especially if you’re using retinol since it can be quite drying.
Step 7: Eye Cream for Bright Eyes
Never skip a good eye cream. Seems like the last, almost skippable step. But it is one of the most important ones. Choose a good eye cream and make sure you don’t skip the inner corner of the eye, and the areas more prone to fine lines, dark circles, and wrinkles.
With this 7-step night skincare routine, we think you’d be completely sorted for summer. Make sure you don’t pick and choose much from this list because this is already minimalist skincare. Oh, also this is a good summer skincare routine for men who care about skincare.
