My Evening Skincare Routine #5

Nov 212019

Rain these past weeks has been abundant and abundantly annoying, while Sun has been too shy behind, what seems, never ending clouds. Sure, it hasn’t been really cold, but chilly enough for my skin to crave more nourishing treatments. I do make sure to balance the textures, layers and frequency of certain products – in all my routines – evening and morning routines, which are followed by makeup routines. I know it may seem like there’s a lot of products mentioned here and in a way – it is. But I do not use all the products at once or every day, and I’ve been using many of these products for a while now; I also do my very best […]

Unlike September, which was a bit rainy and gloomy, October lived up to its reputation – beautiful and sunny and warm, but still, my skin has been craving more creamy, oily and balmy textures. A quick thought: I know that seeing all these products at once seems like a bit too much, but I am not using all these products all at once, or every day – they are spread throughout months and while some have been re-purchased, I aim to use them up before getting new ones. My Evening Skincare Routine: Cleansing Accordingly with change of a season and wearing more creamy textures during the day, I’ve been using the Balm Balm Little Miracle Cleanser (from my September Love Lula […]

With a start of September, it’s gotten colder – quickly, thus the need to adapt my evening skincare routine, adding more creamy textures as opposed to just water-based ones. My Evening Skincare Routine: Cleansing As I’m gradually switching my makeup routine, so follows my evening skincare routine as well, including the cleansing products I use – if during hot weather, I use only one cleanser, I am now switching to double cleansing, most of the times. I start with the creamy Alteya Organics Gentle Cleanser followed by Alteya Organics Facial Cleanser & Wash in Vanilla & Geranium: it gently cleanses and removes any of the remaining impurities. I’ve been using the a lighter Kathleen Cleansing Lotion, mostly in my morning skincare routine, but since I’ve […]

The minimal skincare routine in these hot Summer days that I adhere to in the morning follows in the evening as well. Given I’m wearing sunscreen, a double cleansing is often a must, along with light but thorough hydration. My Evening Skincare Routine: Cleansing On the days I wear sunscreen, a double cleansing is a must. I try to combine it with first using a lighter Kathleen Cleansing Lotion, though I am mostly saving this gentle cleanser for my morning skincare routine, or a bit thicker but still creamy Alteya Organics Gentle Cleanser. For the second cleanse, I use Alteya Organics Facial Cleanser & Wash in Vanilla & Geranium: it gently cleanses and removes any of the remaining impurities. It’s also very […]

Another one from much requested skincare routines – this time around, I will share with you my evening skincare routine. Since there was very little Spring and we jumped from a cold, almost late Autumn weather into a hot and sunny Summer, it seems in a day, I had to quickly change and adapt both my morning and evening skincare routine, and, of course, my makeup routine – this one follows next week. With hot Summer times, the biggest change in my skincare routine is using less (but still some) oils and oil-based skincare products, switching them for light skincare products, mainly in a form of light serums and moisturisers. My already abundant use of hydrolates only intensifies. In general, […]
