Step 1: Start with clean skin.
Never go to bed with your makeup on; any trace of makeup or dirt left on skin overnight can clog pores and lead to blemishes. It also makes it harder for your skincare to sink in, reducing the efficacy of your next skincare steps. A gentle yet thorough cleanse allows skin to breathe and recover from daily stressors, so always start your evening skincare routine with a great makeup remover like Take The Day Off™ Cleansing Balm, a silky balm that sweeps away dirt, makeup and impurities. Formulated with a blend of natural ingredients, including safflower seed oil which works efficiently to help break up natural oil found on skin, the solid balm transforms into a nourishing cleansing oil as you massage it into your skin. Rinse well with warm water, then gently pat dry with a clean cleansing cloth or facial towel. We recommend a gentle double cleanse at night for the ultimate clean. The general rule is to use a water-based cleanser after an oil-based formulas, and we have plenty of options tailored to every skin type (learn more about double cleansing). There’s a version of our fan-favourite Liquid Facial Soap cleanser that will work for sensitive, dry, oily and combination skin types, or if you’re particularly prone to breakouts our blemish-control cleanser is a no-brainer. It's a fine balance, though, as over-cleansing can strip the skin and damage your skin barrier. ‘Be very gentle with your second cleanse and almost pat it off, then follow with a hydrating moisturiser or mist to lock that back in,’ suggests Dr. Tewari.

Step 2: Introduce a gentle exfoliator.
Incorporating a gentle liquid exfoliator into your night skincare routine can make all the difference to your glow. Our dermatologist-developed Clarifying Lotion with acetyl glucosamine and witch hazel sweeps away pollution and dulling flakes to reveal fresher, clearer-looking skin. The result? Skin is perfectly primed for next skincare steps and looks radiant when you wake up. The most popular Type 2 formula is best for dry/combination skin, but there is a Clarifying Lotion formula for every skin type, including a super gentle formula for sensitive skin and a targeted anti-blemish formula.

Step 4: Bring in the moisture.
Hydration is the penultimate night-time skincare step – and it's not one to skip. Your nightly moisturiser can absorb deeply into skin undisturbed, without being interrupted by daily wear (think makeup, changeable weather, touching your face, etc.) Turnaround™ Overnight Revitalizing Moisturizer works hard to rejuvenate skin while you sleep. Formulated with salicylic acid to target dullness and restore radiance, this dermatologist-tested night cream visibly plumps, hydrates and smooths fine dry lines for a fresh-faced glow when you wake. It's suitable for all skin types, too.
As a luxurious treat, double down on the hydration with our Moisture Surge™ Overnight Mask, an intensely creamy, soothing formula with activated aloe vera water and murumuru butter. Apply a light layer as the final step in your routine to nourish skin as you sleep. After all, nothing says ‘I got my full eight hours’ like waking up with plump, dewy skin. Another great way to turn your night-time skincare routine into self-care is to introduce some facial massage techniques.
