Bedtime Beauty Rituals
For Healthy Skin
Remove Your Makeup
The struggle to get rid of all your makeup after a long tiring day can be tedious. *we know the feeling* But no matter how tempted you are to rest your head on the pillow, always remove your makeup, first. Since your skin heals and repairs itself at night, leaving your makeup on can hinder this process. This then leads to closed pores which, in turn, can cause breakouts.
Invest In Toners
Toners are the underdogs of the skincare world. This little liquid goes on after cleansing and while it may not seem like much; toners can actually do your skin a lot of good. Not only does it remove makeup residue but it also helps shrink your pores, balance the skin’s pH levels and protect your skin from impurities.
Yoga For Your Face
You’re probably familiar with yoga to help you sleep, but did you know that there’s yoga for better skin as well? And trust us; it has a whole list of benefits. From promoting product absorption to improving circulation to encouraging collagen production; the list goes on. All you need is your face serum and clean fingers for this bedtime beauty routine step.
For Healthy Hair
Leave Your Hair Loose
Keep your high ponytail for special occasions. While sleeping, it’s better to let down your hair or use a soft scrunchie to create a loose bun. Tight hairstyles can pull the hair, causing more hair fall and a receding hairline. Meanwhile, a loose bun or braid is a great way to reduce hair fall and protect your locks while you sleep.
If you have curly hair and want to protect your curls, the pineapple bun has proven to be useful. Applying coconut oil once a week can also help nourish your scalp and strengthen your strands.
Invest In Silk Pillowcases
Strange as it may sound, silk pillowcases can actually be beneficial for your hair and don’t worry; it’s not just another marketing gimmick. This fabric can reduce hair breakage and bonus: you don’t need to worry about waking up with a head full of frizz.
For Your Eyes
Eye Cream Is A Must
The skin around your eyes is extremely delicate and needs all the help it can get. Enter: Eye creams. There are different eye creams available in the market catering to different skin issues. While some creams help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, others help eliminate dark circles.
For fine lines and wrinkles, look for products with ingredients like retinol, vitamin A derivate or peptides. These stimulate collagen production and help plump up the skin.
For hyperpigmentation, go for eye creams with ingredients like vitamin C and niacinamide. These help lighten dark circles and protect against the sun’s harmful UV rays.
