Skincare Routine | Night

Hello all! The second part of my little skincare 'series' is up today and it is my nighttime skincare routine! I've reviewed most of the products I mention in full so hopefully the post won't be too rambly! This one is a little more involved than my morning routine so let's dive in!


First up for cleansing:


I really like using creamy cleansers at night to help remove the majority if not all of my makeup (other makeup removal products will be mentioned in my next skincare post!). These two are my most used. I remove both with a face cloth. 

Soap & Glory Fab Pore Hot Cloth Cleanser
I've already talked a bunch about this and done a full review so I will spare the nitty gritty! This is super nice and creamy and it melts away makeup! It leaves my skin feeling nice and soft and is a really great, basic cleanser.

Natural Instinct Cream Cleanser
I've also reviewed this here. I find this thicker and heavier than most typical cream cleansers, so I find it works very similarly to the Soap & Glory. It doesn't remove makeup as well and doesn't leave my skin as soft but it is still a really great cleanser!


Clarins Gentle Exfoliant
I do apologise that I still haven't done a review of this yet! Hopefully with a bit more testing I will do a post! I use this as a typical toner and it feels like one too. It is super gentle but I definitely feel like it has helped the overall condition of my skin - including its brightness.

Garnier Dark Spot Corrector Night
I've done a review on this guy here and I'm still loving it! With the bevy of other dark spot, skintone evener outers I feel like my acne scarring is fading (slowly but surely) and the overall tone of my skin improving! This product, I think, is definitely a substantial factor!

La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo
Again I've spoken soooo much about this product and done a review. Basically, it's one of my Holy Grail products, this is my second tube! I love this for helping clear blemishes and keeping them away.


Kosmea Skin Clinic Rose hip oil
Review here, love this rose hip oil! I find it helps hydrate my skin immensely and is in general a great all rounder skincare product.

Soap & Glory Night in shining armour Cream
Great night cream that I've reviewed here! Not too thick (great for nighttime use) but very moisturising. Nice and basic!

Trilogy Eye contour cream
This is a nice eye cream that is relatively thin in texture and sinks into the skin well. I find it mediumly moisturising and after late nights, I don't wake up with my usual puffy eyes - so that's a plus! I could see it being effective for both day and night use as it's not too rich.

Lush Grease Lightning Spot Treatment
Again, reviewed here. Not the hugest fan of this but I'm using it up. I don't find it particularly amazing at clearing acne but it's better than using nothing!


Not too many steps to my nighttime routine...but probably more than your average sixteen-year-old. 

What do you guys love using at night?

  2. Heehee that's a lot of products! I cleanse with oil then facial wash. Then eye cream and night cream. I'm using the Sukin night cream which feels really nice!

    1. Haha, probably on the border of being excessive. Sukin seems like a great brand!

  3. Very happy to see that you're so into skincare at 16! I didn't start having a decent skincare routine until I was 18! I only used face wash, an exfoliator and a toner. I didn't moisturize, use serums or creams, nothing! I'm hopefully getting a big set of skincare minis from soap & glory this christmas as I just really want to try a bit of everything from them!

    1. Haha! Well sadly my skin isn't very good which probably got me so into skincare to try and fix it! I really want to try some more soap and glory too! Their minis are great to do that!
