A pre-bedtime skin-care routine is a bit more…involved.

There is a formula to follow.
First, you need aneffective cleanserto get off all the makeup and dirt from the day.
Then, you need a serum with powerful ingredients to brighten while you snooze.
Finally, you want to top it all off with a rich moisturizer.
If you’re thinking this all sounds like a somewhat big time investment, you’d be right.
Everyone happily opened up their bathroom vanities to share their favorite products (and took pictures, too).
Im also not averse to doing a quick face mask at night.
I also useAdvanced Night Repair by Estee Lauder($98).
I just love a fancy serum!
I follow up with theShangpree S-Energy Facial Mousse Cleanser($35).
I also exfoliate in the evenings.
Two to three times a week I useBe the Skin Non-Stimulus Face Polisher($29).
Currently, I’m using a sheet mask every night and have been keeping it up for twenty-one days.
I use thePeach & Lily($15) andPeach Slices sheet masks($14).
While I have the masks on, I’ll do some facial massages.
Then, I spritz onJosh Rosebrook Hydrating Accelerator($35).
This super hydrating mist helps repair dry skin and deliver nutrients.
Not to mention it smells amazing, like coconuts!
Im currently using theAmala Rejuvenate Targeted Wrinkle Treatment($116).
I love rolling it right on and how you could feel that its firming right away.
Also, as an Asian woman who has lived in many sunny places, I have pigmentation issues.
So my skin-care routine relies on moisturizing, antioxidants, retinol, and peptides.
To help decrease puffiness, dehydration, and under-eye bags, I applySkinBetter Eye Cream($100).
I always, always start off with theHanskin Cleansing Oil & Blackhead with PHA($25).
It keeps my skin soft and glowing throughout the night and into the morning.
It’s like icing on the cake!
I’ll use one set of products until they run out then try a new set of things.
Sometimes I use them in the same night (charcoal first).
I like to look at my skin-care regimen as a ritual.
My evening routine is a little more complex than my daytime one.
I like to start with Burts Bees Citrus Facial Scrub (discontinued).
It exfoliates away dead skin cells and leaves my verysensitive skinsoft, without any irritation.
And the citrusy smell is always a huge plus.
Im a huge fan of face masks, I have plenty of them for different days.
After using it, my skin feels fresh, like it can breathe again!
I also likeDamn Good Clay Mask($10), which is 100 percent natural.
It gives your skin a beautiful glow.
It limits small fine lines, moisturizes, and helps minimize pores.
Double Serum is great for any age and any skin jot down!
I also love usingiS Clinical Active Serum($135) before bed.
This seriously gets rid of all of my blackheads.
Its a little pricey, but totally worth it.
Then I apply myDr.
Dennis Gross Hyaluronic Moisture Cushion Oil-Free moisturizer($58) and head to bed.
I start by soaking my face with a hot wash cloth and warm water.
Then I useDaylogic Apricot Scrub($3) to exfoliate.
Lastly, I applyNature Bounty Vitamin E Oil($8) and voila, its bedtime!

I’ve learned that sometimes, simplicity is key.
Every other night I massage my face withBlack Jamaican Castor Oil($16).
Then Ill useiS Clinical Pro Heal Serum Advance($148).
The best moisturizer to seal in hydration isiS Clinical Reparative Moisture Emulsion($90).
I always start with an oil cleanser to take off the day’s grime, dirt, and makeup.
It gets everything off and leaves my skin feeling hydrated but clean.
I’ll then follow-up with a traditional cleanser likeBiologique Recherche Lait U(price available after login).
Sometimes Ill do a hydrating sheet mask or detoxifying clay mask.
It doesn’t smell the best, but it really works!
After I wash off the mask, Ill add a concoction of serums.
Last but not least, I’ll slather on a heavy moisturizer before heading to bed.
Right now, I’m usingTata Harper’s Creme Riche($185).
It’s really hydrating and leaves my skin feeling moisturized.
Then I usePuristry Flower Water Toner($32).
In the summer, this toner is hydrating enough that I may not use additional moisturizers.
Next, I use the holy grail serum:100% Pure Multi Vitamin Serum($59).
I use this serum even around my eyes.
I apply a thick layer all over my face and my neck.
I want a highly effective eye cream that focuses on age correction.
Im obviously paranoid of signs of aging around my eyes!
