Clean Up Time

I've learned as I've gotten older how important it is to have a night time routine. When I was younger I would go to sleep all the time without washing the makeup off of my face.  I know, the horror!  But now if I make that mistake, the next morning my skin is splotchy and gross looking.  So I've developed a routine to make it easier to follow nightly.  Sometimes I switch it up a little bit, but this is the one I use most nights.

So to start, I put my hair back to get it out of my face.  Then the next stop is to use the Almay oil free eye makeup remover.  I prefer the oil free because it is less greasy and doesn't irritate my eyes at all.  After I get all of my eye makeup off I move onto the next step, the facial scrub.  I really like the Lush Cosmetics Herbalism face wash.  It may seem a little strange, but it scrubs your skin so well and smells good.  Plus, unlike a lot of scrubs, it is so gentle you can use it every day.  You just break a little piece off and add water so it becomes a paste.  Then you just scrub your face with it.  Then about once a week, I use the Mario Badescu Rolling Cream Peel with AHA.  This is an exfoliating cream that you spread on your face and then roll in a circular motion as you watch it peel up.  Then I pour a little of the Kiehl's Calendula Herbal Extract Alcohol-Free Toner onto one of the cotton pads and use that to rub off the rest of the exfoliating cream.  Then, this is a nightly step, but I apply the Clinique Moisture Surge Overnight Mask.  This stuff is pretty nice, you just put a thin layer all over your face and let it dry and then the next morning when you wake up your skin feels so soft.  The next step, and we're getting to the end of the routine, I massage the Replenix Eye Repair Cream around my eyes, especially on the area right below my eyes all over my bags.  Now, I have to be honest I have no clue where you buy this cream from because my mother-in-law works in the industry and got it for me, but I'm sure you can get it from somewhere.  Usually the eye cream would be the last step, but unfortunately sometimes I get blemishes.  The final step if I do have blemishes, I use the Mario Badescu Drying Lotion on them.  This stuff is a life saver!  While it doesn't completely get rid of the spot overnight, it shrinks it a lot and quickens the healing process.  It also makes you look quite silly since it leaves pink spots behind.  I've been using this stuff since I was in high school, and it seriously is one product that anyone who is prone to acne should really use.
So that is my nightly routine.  Do you have any specific getting ready for bed routine that you do nightly?
