It’s a given that most of us are always looking forward to hitting the hay and that the nights may usually consist of winding down from the day. However, a strict nighttime skin care routine is just as important as setting your morning alarm. Getting rid of that makeup, dust, and oil that you accumulated during the day should be a priority if you want to keep your skin in tip-top shape.

But then again, what products and in what order should you be doing it? We’ve broken down the perfect nighttime skin care routine with four skincare saviors from DCL.

Four-step Nighttime Skin Care Routine

STEP 1. Cleansing

Start your nighttime skin care routine with a refreshing facial wash that will gently cleanse and purify – perfect if you suffer from breakouts or have oil-prone skin. The Active Mattifying Cleanser is made to deeply exfoliate, help clear skin of acne-causing bacteria and unclog any blocked pores you may have lingering. This, in turn, will prevent any future breakouts or blemishes. This soothing cleanser, which is packed with Papaya and Ginseng extracts, will cool and calm the skin perfectly prepping it for your next skincare step.

STEP 2. Toning

Next, use the Alpha Beta Gel Toner. Containing anti-bacterial properties, this toner has been structured to gently yet thoroughly exfoliate clogged pores and remove dead skin cells with glycolic and salicylic acids. It will most likely enable you to treat any existing blemishes and help to prevent future breakouts whilst you are away in dreamland. Fresh and soothing with a unique gel texture, this botanical-infused formula is built to lighten lingering discolorations from acne scarring, leaving your skin feeling comfortable, refreshed and eagerly awaiting the next step of your nighttime skin care routine.

STEP 3. Clearing

The Clear Skin Anti Blemish Hydrator is an intense moisturizer formulated with 2% salicylic acid and lactic acid to help clear existing blemishes and prevent future breakouts, as the inbuilt soothers comfort any irritation. The vitamin C infused will work overtime whilst you snooze to even out skin tone, diminish the appearance of dark spots and soften and condition to keep skin smooth and healthy looking.

STEP 4. Boosting

Finish off your nighttime skin care routine with C Scape Night Booster. This is an age-preventing, collagen-boosting dynamo formulated with L-ascorbic acid and Vitamin C. It improves elasticity and helps fend off lines and wrinkles whilst intense hydrators deeply moisturize. Focused brighteners even out skin tone creating a healthier, more radiant and beautifully uniform complexion. Superb for all skin types, except for the most sensitive.

We understand that a nighttime skincare routine sounds like a big hassle, especially when you are too tired from the day’s happenings, and the only thing you want to do is sleep. Look on the brighter side, if you put in the effort, which takes less than 5 minutes, not only will your skin thank you, but your sleep will be quite refreshing… we know that from experience.
