Sensitive Skin Nightly Skincare Routine

I have really been trying to stick to my nightly skin routine. Some nights I do fall into bed and skip the whole thing, but I see a difference in my skin when I do a good job of taking off my makeup at the end of the day. Lately my biggest skin concerns are sun damage and fine lines, so those are the two things I’m focusing on the most with the products I’m using.

I’m also trying to drink more water during the day. My esthetician recommended this because my skin can be dehydrated.

Sensitive Skin Nightly Skincare Routine

Step 1: Cleanse

Cleanser

I used to have a cleanser with alcohol as one of its ingredients, and it made my skin so dry. At my last facial my esthetician recommended the SkinCeuticals cleanser (I like the foaming and the gel versions), and it’s been wonderful! It doesn’t dry out my skin but still removes all of my makeup.

Peel gel

I. Love. This stuff. I only use it on an area where I have a blocked pore. It’s so satisfying to use because you can literally see and feel the dead skin that needs to come off. Gross, but useful.

Step 2: Prep

Toner

I go back and forth between these two toners. One is the famed Biologique Recherche (which you can only buy at a spa), and the other is from a brand called Tula that I just love. I also include this SkinCeuticals corrective gel.

three products for Nightly Skincare RoutineI use the version of Biologique that doesn’t have harmful ingredients in it. It still smells pretty pungent, but you can use this one if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding. (Of course, check with your own doctor!) I got this bottle over a year ago, and it has lasted me forever. (You probably are not supposed to use it past a certain amount of time but I haven’t gone through it yet and feel bad throwing it away!)

Now let’s talk about this other brand… You may or may not have heard of Tula. I first found it through a fellow blogger who talked about it quite a bit. I started with their Discovery Kit so I could try a few products in small bottles, and since then I’ve bought full size bottles plus more moisturizer (I love it!). I’ve even bought some of their line for my mom. Tula’s products are cruelty-free (see my other favorite cruelty-free beauty brands here), and I haven’t had any issues with my sensitive skin.

Step 3: Moisturize

Moisturizer

For moisturizer, I only use this moisturizer from Tula. It isn’t at all greasy, and it sinks into your skin so nicely. I even use it on my lips during the day. P.S. You can get 20% off your first purchase at Tula.

I know serums are a hot topic, but I’ve tried a few and haven’t been overly impressed. But if you have any must-use skincare products, let me know. I’d love to hear about them!
