My Nighttime Routine

Good afternoon ladies!!! I hope you all had an amazing thanksgiving weekend! Here in Canada, the weather was beautiful and perfect for a weekend spent with family and friends. 

I get a lot of questions about how I keep my skin so fresh and smooth and to be honest, I really don't do much. Everyone's skin type is different and requires different treatments, products, and care. However, what I found in common for everyone and most important is washing your face before you go to sleep. I am not going to pretend that I do this extravagant nighttime routine every single night. Of course not! There are days where I come home from work or school and just pass out in full-makeup and then wake up the next morning with my eyelashes curled in all different directions. I had to find a nighttime routine that was fitting for me and that wouldn't take up too much time when I get home and just want to go to sleep. So, here is what I've been doing/using lately in four easy and fast steps: 

 Step 1: Clean & Clear: Pore Perfecting Cleanser (Oil-Free) 
This is a face wash that I use just to remove my makeup. I use a few pumps of this soap with water and it removes all of my makeup within seconds. Because it is oil-free, it can work for all skin types which is great for my household since everyone in my family has different skin types. I enjoy this soap because it's purpose isn't just to remove makeup. Instead of using a million different products, this soap already contains a formula that clears pores of dirt and oil.

Step 2: Biosource: Instant Hydration Toning Lotion 
You will see with time that I mostly use Biotherm products when it comes to lotions, creams, SPF protection, etc. This is my go-to product and has been for years. The reason for this is that Biotherm products are all water based (specifically containing thermal plankton). This toner is the most important product used within my day. It reaches the deep dirt that cleansers cannot and at the same time exfoliates my skin ridding it of any dead cells or impurities. I use any kind of cotton pads to apply the toner and it takes no time at all to apply. I dab lightly around my face and it seriously makes my skin feel lighter and deeply cleaned.

Step 3: Biotherm: Aquasource 
I apply this in the morning before putting on my makeup and at night right before I go to bed. This is a product that I've been using for years and it has never failed to impress me. It is made to hydrate the skin which is exactly what I need since I can sometimes get very dry skin. I just can't go on with my day without my moisturizer!!

Step 4: Crest: 3D White Luxe 
And last but not least, you have to brush your teeth! To be honest, I don't have one specific tooth paste that I prefer but I do have a list of ones that I will only use. Any of the Crest whitening toothpastes are amazing! I also really like Sensodyne and Pronamel. However, if you're looking for a teeth whitener, Crest really does the trick!

And that's it! Like I mentioned before, I don't do this every single night. There are many times when laziness takes over my healthy habits. But every time I do this routine I wake up the next morning with the softest and clearest skin.

I hope you found this post useful and if so feel free to comment or e-mail me! I would love to hear from you especially if you have a product to recommend to me! 

 Until next time, 

Amanda
