A nightly skin care routine

As you age your skin changes. Its important to develop a good skin care routine that will help with problem spots, breakouts, dry skin, under the eyes, pores etc. 

Step 1 - Removing makeup at night

Before going to bed use wipes to wipe off makeup. Remove makeup, dirt, oil, mascara and anything else that might have accumulated during the day.  

Beauty Treats Green Tea smell great but they have all sorts of flavors. Find your favorite below.

Step 2 - Use the Clarisonic Brush with a cleanser

Especially if you wear a lot of makeup, the Clarisonic brush can get deep into your pores.  Use the sensitive head to get a deep clean that is not hard or abrasive on your skin.  

For dry skin, use a more delicate cleanser like DermaQuest Delicate Cleanising Cream. Put a little bit on the brush and lightly scrub your face. Afterwards take a wash cloth, wet with warm water and then just clean off your face.

Step 3 - Use a dermatologist prescribed Retinol Cream

Now that your face is clean use straight Retinol cream. Note - please consult your dermatologist for the right prescription. Start with a small dosage (0.05%) as it can cause peeling on your skin.  Apply a light layer to targeted areas such as cheeks, chin or forehead for smoother skin.

Step 4 - Apply a serum

If your skin is dry, use a serum like Ole Henriksen.  It has vitamin C, other great nutrients for your skin, smells like oranges and its not too oily. Put a little bit on your hands, rub it together and gently pat it on your skin wherever it's dry. Forehead, neck, etc.

Step 5 - Use a moisturizer

After you have applied your serum, use a moisturizer like Nia24.  It has a skin strengthening complex with niacin and it does not cause breakouts. It hydrates your skin without leaving it oily.  Just rub a little bit of it all over your face.

Step 6 - Add your eye cream

The final step for your skin care routine is eye cream. Use it when the areas under your eyes get dry. Especially as we age, this area tends to lose moisture and develop circles.  Hydration helps with the circles. Murad makes a renewing eye cream that is hydrating and feels like silk. It's just an amazing eye cream. Just gently pat a little bit underneath your eyes to keep everything nice and soft.
