There are always times where you just can’t be f-d to put on your moisturiser before you crawl under the covers. We’ve all been there. In the morning you wake up in a world of regret when you’re trying to apply make up onto a dry, crusty face (#bloggerskeepingitreal). Here are some ace products and tips for keeping your skin hydrated without a 4,000 step routine.
THINK GEL BASED
This goes for your moisturisers for day and night. I find gel-based products are more easily absorbed by the skin and just instantly inject a good whack of hydration into the complexion. I love the Skinsitut Moisture Defence for Normal Skin but they do a bunch of awesome gel-based moisturising products that are the best. A little goes a long way so they’re so cost effective too!
DON’T BE SCARED TO LEAVE THINGS ON
Break the rules and leave that hydrating mask on all night… Or try leaving it on for say an hour before tissuing it off (which you can do in bed) if you’re a little scared. I love doing this with the Dermalogica Skin Hydrating Mask and the L’Occitane Immortale Eye Care & Mask Duo for the ultimate plumped up skin in the morning. Before you freak out and think that I look like a crazy lady going to bed with a face mask on both of these are transparent and absorb into the skin in 5-10 minutes, when using as a 10 minute mask you just tissue off the excess, so don’t worry your BF or cat won’t do a double take when you walk into the room. I do this treatment duo 2-3 times a week and I’m always impressed with the results when I wake up.
USE AN OIL
Every skin type can benefit from using a facial oil and they’re amazing at keeping your skin in check. Some people choose to use them in conjunction with other products but I’ve found slathering my skin with an oil 1-2 times a week is an awesome option. I always sit and read in bed for 1/2 hour before laying on my pillow to minimise any oil stain but it’s so worth it because it really gives the skin a boost and it’s so easy! The Medik8 Glow Oil is my favourite at the moment before it’s intensely moisturising but also works to help reduce pigmentation and bright the complexion.
ADD A BOOSTER
If you’re wanting to keep your routine super simple then use your day moisturiser but add a skin boosting serum like the Dermalogica Skin Hydrating Booster. Up until 2-3 years ago I used the same products at night that I did in the day just mixing an oil in at night. It’s a great tip for anyone who travels alot or just doesn’t want to overcomplicate things. It has all those delicious hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and pantheonal to help the skin easily absorb the product but also restore moisture levels. It’s seriously amazing stuff.
