My Skincare Routine [Part 1] ~ Night time Zzz

Heyy peeps~ It's summer time and been soooo hot recently so I decided that I should write about skincare maintenance and products I use. In Australia the weather tends to be quite dry even in summertime!! That's why it is important that we maintain a good skin care routine especially night time. 

Night skincare routine is essential and because during our sleep, we don't wear any make up, sunscreen and grime and pollution of counteractive products. Therefore making our skin very sensitive and fragile to dirts and bacteria, thus night time is about repairing and rebuilding the skin (and of course our body), hence it is important to have a good skincare routine before we hit the lights off and jump into bed. 

My sister has recently moved in and lived with me so I have learnt so much from her. She is the type that's prone to break outs and pimples so she have extra care for her skin!! However I am not as crazy as her (in term of break outs) so what I suggest here will be suitable for those who have normal-oily skin. 

Let's behind shall we?? :)

These are the products I use before I go to bed.

Step 1 - Clean face

Make sure you clean your face well!! For more details, you can check my post next week~~


Step 2 - Face Mask

Now that your face is cleaned~ It's time to start your skincare routine~~ Normally if I'm not busy, I would try to do face masks (I don't include sleeping masks though) every single day!! Sometimes I would do honey mask, sometimes I would skin masks. If not, I would skip this step and go to Step 3 below!!
Usually it just depends what I feel like haha (but it doesn't hurt to do more honey masks xD). 
Honey is really good for skin and is useful for so many things and use. But I  only just use it as face mask. It's so simply!! Just apply honey on your face like a mask and let it set for about 5-10mins. Usually I would play with my phone during this time, but if I'm really low on time, I would go shower for this time period. Then I will rise it off and DRY!! The honey face mask usually have an immediate effect on me!! I can feel my face softer and moist afterwards, also I can see my cheeks slightly glow in pink :) 


Step 3 - If I did face mask

Now, I would apply cream to make sure my skin will be moist for the rest of the night!! 
If I did face masks before this step then I will apply either


The Saem - Urban Eco Harakeke Cream EX

I love the light texture and the lovely fresh (grass?) smell ~~
It's moist enough to keep your skin hydrated but not too oily at the same time. 
I like to use this after I did face scrub.

My sister brought this over from Hong Kong so I have no idea about the price but this is the price on Ebay!! Also here's the link for the product details.

OR

Dr. Wu - Extra Hydrating Lotion with Aqua-Collagen

This is more light than The Saem but it doesn't have any scent. I swap around between this and The Saem lol
I like the lightliness of this and even though it's light but still very hydrated throughout the night!! However this is here is on the pricey side.

My sister brought this one too. This is a Taiwanese product. Here's the details and price on Amazon.

Step 4 - If I didn't do face mask

If I didn't do face masks then I will use sleeping mask. This one below is HOLY GRAIL to make your skin like baby smooth and juicy bouncy skin the next morning!!!

Kiss Skincare - Whitening Collagen Cream Mask

This is a product from Thailand and my sister brought it over from Hong Kong haha!! (She brought a lot, didn't she xD?) It is AAAMMMAAZZINGG!!! I swear I can see quite a huge difference the next morning!! My skin were bouncier and much more smooth and softer. I was really impress, plus the smell - who can resist a nice calming rose smell??. They do have it on Amazon (but yeah, apparently they changed their name so that's the same brand don't worry)!! 
Normally I like to use it straight away without cream, but because I didn't put cream on so it feels quite dry. That's when this comes along~~


THEN I will apply~

Nature Republic - Aloe Vera Gel (92%)

It's very soothing when I apply on it own and absorbs super quick so I think it feels quite dry on it's own after it's absorbed. So I use this after I apply a thin layer of the Kiss face mask above. Also there 10 ways to use this - which I haven't tried but check it out!! :)
They do sell it on Ebay.

Sorry I didn't have a proper camera > <

Step 5 - Final step

Whether you are a guy or girl, it is important to maintain a good sleeping pattern. I know it is very hard sometime when you have so much work from UNI!!! But still try to jump in bed before 11pm and have at least 7 hours of rest. Our body rest most effectively between 11pm-2am (I think - around then xD) so even if you have to stay up, try catch some sleeps between those hours :)

Most of all keeping your skin nice and radiant does take some time and effort but once it becomes your habit you won't find it difficult!!

I wish all of you best of luck and thank you so much for reading!!!! :) I hope you guys like my posts??? :3
Have a great week guys!! 

Cheers <3
