Cleanse and Double Cleanse Your Skin
If you have any kind of makeup on, it is essential that you take every bit of it off before going to sleep. Leaving traces of makeup on your face can lead to inflammation and dirt being trapped in your skin because of the ingredients in the makeup products. You can first remove your makeup with a makeup remover and then use a foaming cleanser to clean your pores properly.
Exfoliate if Necessary
Exfoliation is a very important step in skincare but it is not advised to do every day. You can use a mild scrub to exfoliate your skin which will help remove dead skin cells from your skin and leave it clean and glowing. This will also ensure any accumulation of dirt and sebum on your skin.
Apply a Toner
You can apply a toner to your skin to remove extra dirt and particles from your skin. A toner also tightens the skin leaving it look more taught and young. Some toners are also used to balance the PH levels of your skin.
Hydrate Your Skin
Skin hydration is very important. This is one of the skincare steps that Koreans take very seriously and are known for. If you check out Korean brands or websites like Sensoo that sell Korean beauty and skincare products, you will notice that they have a large variety of products based specifically on hydration and skincare. In order to hydrate your skin, you can use either serum or essence.
Sheet Masks For Extra Hydration and Nourishing
Sheet masks are a mini spa kind of feeling. They are used to provide extra hydration to the skin but using them on a regular basis wouldn’t be wise. You can use a sheet mask on your face once or twice a week or on special occasions when you need that extra hydration.
Use a Night Cream
If you have dry skin or even oily skin it can be very important to lock some moisture in it. You need to apply a night cream on your face and an under-eye cream under your eyes to lock the moisture in it. This will help provide overnight hydration to your skin and make sure that it is properly hydrated and seems fresh. This will also help prevent your skin from aging and dryness.
Apply a Lip Scrub
Don’t forget your lips. They are equally important. This is why you need to apply a hydrating balm to your lips separately overnight in order to lock the moisture in. This will give you nice plumper lips and will help you get rid of dry marks and scaled lips in no time.
