7-step skin care for a date night

Step 1: Cleanse your skin 

The first step in any skincare routine is to cleanse your skin, even if you've been celebrating #NoMakeupMonday all day. Whether you've been wearing full makeup before or not, dirt and debris can still get onto your complexion and wreak havoc on your skin.

To cleanse your skin better than your hands, take the Clarisonic Mia Smart and pair it with your favorite cleanser and cleansing head. Then watch as pore-clogging impurities and excess oil are effectively removed from your skin. To view a full review of the Mia Smart product, click here!

Step 2: Apply the face mask

Once you've cleared your complexion, give it an extra boost with a face mask that targets your underlying concerns. If you have hyperemic skin, try a clay or charcoal mask. If you have dry skin, try a moisturizing sheet mask. If your skin looks dull, try an exfoliating face mask. Follow the instructions on the face mask of your choice. Need help choosing a face mask?

Step 3: Refresh your skin

After you wash off the face mask, you can immediately apply moisturizer to your entire face, but we recommend misting your skin with a face spray first. Find a moisturizing formula with antioxidants or minerals to breathe new life into your complexion. Layering moisture will make your skin look hydrated and there is no better makeup canvas than this one.

Step 4: Moisturize your skin

When it comes to healthy skin, hydration is key. Hydrate your skin with a moisturizing gel or cream containing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, ceramides, or glycerin. These nourishing ingredients can help hydrate the skin and prevent flaking and dryness.

Step 5: Target the eye contour

If the eyes are the window to the soul, you want the skin around them to look its best before a date. To address eye problems such as puffiness, fine lines and wrinkles, use your Clarisonic Mia Smart again. This time insert the Sonic Awakening Eye Massager and let the cooling aluminum tips gently massage the eye area. The eye massager can perform a cooling massage that not only refreshes, but also soothes the area around the eyes and helps reduce puffiness.

Step 6: Prepare your skin 

Before diving into your date night makeup routine, apply a skin-friendly primer to your skin to enhance the look of your face and prolong the wear of your evening makeup. To find the makeup primer that's right for you, read our complete guide to the best primers for your skin here.

Step 7: Apply Foundation

You don't have to wear makeup for a date, but if you do, we recommend using the Clarisonic Mia Smart with the Sonic Foundation Makeup Brush. The brush can perfectly blend any cream, stick or liquid makeup and give the skin an airbrush effect.  

Then apply the rest of your makeup - eyeshadow, eyeliner, blush, bronzer, highlighter, etc. and enjoy the evening!
