evening skincare routine (cruelty-free)
Earlier in my morning skincare routine I provided an extensive roundup of all my skin issues: namely, acne, oil, and pigmentation, mostly hormonal but also induced by exercise and sweat. The other half of the complexion puzzle I piece together at night, a time in which I concern myself primarily with degunking my pores and exfoliation. The restorative processes during sleep extend to the skin, so products which sit on the face for longer have more time to work as cells turnover and repair overnight. Read below for my evening essentials and let me know what nighttime product you can’t live without!
Note: I purchased all products mentioned for myself, and am receiving no compensation for this post.
EVENING SKINCARE ROUTINE
- Derma E Acne Deep Pore Cleansing Wash
- Derma E Acne Control Blemish Clearing Serum
- Derma E Skinbiotics Rescue Cream – no lie, this smells miserable (thanks to the oregano oil) but it works absolute wonders.
- Formula 10.0.6 Pores Be Pure Mud Mask – this is meant as a treatment mask, but I use it on active breakouts to zap them quickly.
- Derma E Purifying Charcoal Mask – I slather this one 1-2x per week, after cleansing, to deeply clean my pores.
- Derma E Overnight Peel – this is one of my favorite products ever. I put it on 2-3x per week, let it sit for two minutes or so before applying oil (see below) and keep it on overnight. My skin is SO soft in the morning and my pigmentation has certainly faded since I began use.
- Acure Rose Argan Oil – I’ll only put this on after applying the Overnight Peel. One drop patted onto my cheeks.
