My Winter Bedtime Routine
When it comes to skincare, I like to keep it pretty simple most of the time. Translation: I'm pretty much the laziest person when it comes to skincare. Alt Translation: I fall asleep with my makeup on most nights.
DON'T JUDGE ME.
However, as part of my mission to prioritize my self-care, I've made it a point to build in morning and nightly routines as part of my ME time. There's really nothing like a hot, steamy shower before bed. Spark up and have a candle burning. The whole SHEBANG.
After showering, I'm relaxed and my pores are open so it's prime time to nurture the skin before bed. New York Winter winds can be harsh and the temperatures unforgiving so my combination skin tends to dry out and flake pretty fast. The dryness isn't ideal, but it's a great reason to mix up my go-to bedtime products and swap in some new contenders. Here's what I'm currently using at the moment:
