The first step in my night skincare routine is to wash my face with a gentle face wash. I make sure to use a product that is suitable for my skin type and is free from harsh chemicals that can cause irritation. Washing my face helps to remove any dirt, oil, and makeup that has built up throughout the day, leaving my skin feeling clean and fresh. It also prepares my skin for the next steps in my routine, such as applying serums or moisturizers. I find that this simple step makes a noticeable difference in the overall appearance and feel of my skin, helping to keep it clear and healthy.

I don't wash my face in the morning because I want to avoid drying out my skin. Over-washing can strip the skin of its natural oils and lead to dryness and irritation. I prefer to simply splash my face with water to refresh and hydrate it before applying my moisturizer and sunscreen. This gentle approach helps to maintain the natural balance of my skin and keeps it looking healthy and glowing throughout the day. It's important to listen to your skin's needs and adjust your skincare routine accordingly, and for me, skipping the morning wash has made a positive difference in the overall appearance and feel of my skin.

The next step in my skincare routine is to use a toner. I find that applying toner helps to remove any remaining impurities and balances the pH level of my skin. It also preps my skin for better absorption of the moisturizer and other products that I apply afterwards. I gently pat the toner onto my skin using a cotton pad, focusing on areas that are prone to excess oil or dryness. I love how refreshed and revitalized my skin feels after using a toner, and it's become an essential part of my daily skincare routine.
