My nighttime skin care routine

So a few posts ago, I talked about my morning skin care routine, if you missed that click here, and today I share with you my night time skin care routine. When we sleep, our skin really gets to work healing and renewing so here are some products I use to make the most out of that process! Seems like a gazillion things to do but you'll thank me when people ask how your skin looks so glowy!

How To Keep Your Skin Young

So being the mother of a 16 year old can make you feel really old. I mean I'm no spring chicken y'all! But I do a million different things to keep my skin looking and feeling youthful, radiant, and healthy. Here is my updated morning and night time skin care routines. Below is my fresh face with only ONE filter on it, I mean, it's as bare as it can get so I figured I'd help myself out with some lighting!

This takes about 3-4 minutes each day to complete and it's worth it! I mean hopefully my skin will look like this forever....or until I wake up looking like Freddie Kruger one day. You know what they say....Asian don't raisin...until one day, unexpectedly, we wake up looking 109!!!

All natural skin tonic in a spritzer!

When I say tonic I don't mean the beverage type unfortunatley. Leaving that for another post oh don't your worry, but when I say tonic I mean skin tonic. A spritzer for your face. A natural, home made, DIY toner that smells fantabulous (that's fantastic married to fabulous), and leaves your skin feeling refreshed and looking brighter! Spring time is in full force here in LA, the air is colder and my skin is more dry than ever, so if you need a pick me up, this one's for you!
