While you sleep at night, your face gets busy repairing and resting the muscles and skin from an exhaustive day. That’s why it is important to ensure that you give your skin the care and attention it needs every night before you go to bed. By sticking to your nighttime regimen you can be sure to get a youthful, smooth and radiant skin. Here’s a step-by-step routine that’s easy to stick to and the answer to a flawless face.

Clean off your makeup: Your face has the most sensitive skin, which is why it is more prone to breakouts, peeling and wrinkling. You can clean off your makeup with face wipes, a dissolving cleanser or cotton wool dipped in coconut oil without stressing out the skin too much.

Cleanse: A water-based cleanser will assist in removing any damaging agent that may still be on your face. It will do the job of cleaning up the residue left behind by makeup and other stuff that may have come in contact with your face during the day.

Tone: Using a toner is a step many neglect, but it has an important role to play in your night routine too. A toner balances your skin’s PH and prepares it for any other thing you may apply to follow. A little goes a long way and works best when massaged into the skin.

Use a serum: Depending on the issues you may have with your skin, you will need a serum that fits your skin type, whether it’s oily, dry, acne- prone; whatever you skin’s issues may be. Serums focus on rehydratio­n, regenerati­on and provide your skin with antioxidan­ts so that it gets busy while you sleep.

Moisturise: Applying a thin layer of oil ought to do the trick of allowing your skin to fight the overproduc­tion of sebum that may block your pores and lead to unwanted breakouts or enlarged pores. Also, if you have a dry skin it will greatly benefit from some extra moisture.

Night cream: The last step should be to apply a night cream that will seal in all the products you have applied on your skin. Because all the products you applied will probably still linger on your face the next morning, make sure you cleanse with a good cleanser so that you start off your day with a nice and clean skin.
