Follow This Simple Nighttime Routine To Fight The Signs Of Aging

Finding a personalized skin care routine that addresses your specific skin concerns can be challenging, especially if they include signs of aging. It seems like every skincare product on the market boasts of “reducing fine lines and wrinkles,” but does that mean you need to use every moisturizer, cleanser, serum, toner, essence, eye cream (take a deep breath) or a face mask who claims it? Not necessary. You can still fight loss of elasticity and achieve healthier skin by adding just a couple of staples to your daily routine. Sounds too good to be true? Keep reading to learn about a simple five-step overnight treatment that will help you achieve younger-looking skin in the morning. 

STEP 1: Remove makeup 

The first step in any evening skincare routine should be the removal of daytime makeup. Remove even the most stubborn facial makeup with Lancôme Bi-facil Facial Makeup Remover that cleanses the face and leaves skin soft and refreshed. 

STEP 2: Cleansing

Properly cleansing your skin after removing makeup should already be the natural next step in your nightly routine. To fight the signs of aging, replace your regular cleanser with SkinCeuticals Glycolic Renewal cleanser. This daily exfoliating cleansing gel combats dull, rough skin and removes impurities. Not to mention, the inclusion of glycolic acid promotes cellular turnover for a clearer, brighter complexion. 

STEP 3: Use Essence

Adding essence to your routine is important because it helps prepare your skin for your serums and moisturizers to follow. Choose an essence that doubles as it fights the signs of aging. One example? Kiehl's Activating Healing Essence with Iris Extract. It is an anti-aging facial essence that helps to smooth skin texture, reduce wrinkles and add radiance, preparing the skin for the next step. 

STEP 4: Use Serum 

The key to youthful skin is hydration. While using a daily moisturizer is a good start, you should consider adding an anti-aging serum to give you that extra layer of moisture. Lancôme Advanced Génifique Youth Activator Serum is a great option as it works quickly to help improve skin radiance, tone, elasticity, smoothness and firmness. 

STEP 5: Moisturize

Finish off your routine with an anti-aging moisturizer. One of our favorites is SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 Moisturizer, which is formulated with 2% pure ceramides, 4% natural cholesterol and 2% fatty acids. These ingredients have been proven to nourish the skin and help correct the signs of aging. After each use, you will notice that your skin looks more even, full and radiant.
