5-Step Routine To Take Care Of Your Skin Before Bed

A basic skin care routine before bed is essential to have good morning skin! Sometimes, we do not realize how important it is to take care of it. We are always outside in the pollution. Therefore, it’s vital to follow the next five tips to have a good caring of your skin before ending your day.

1—Remove your makeup

I know it can be hard, and sometimes we feel lazy after a long day of studying. But, this step is the most important of every night. Besides, using a makeup remover that takes care of your skin is essential. Make sure to choose one specially designed for your skin type. Dry skin does not have the same needs as oily skin.

2—Wash your face with a special soap

It’s a big mistake to use hand soap on your face. Also, be sure to choose the right cleanser for your skin type and remove it with tepid water.

3—Don’t forget the facial toner

This might be a new term for you. Not everyone knows it, so I will explain what it’s all about. The function of a toner is to complete the cleaning of your skin, eliminating dust and impurities that can still remain after washing your face. Also, it rebalances the skin and helps increase the effects of the moisturizer.

4—Moisturizing

Applying a moisturizer daily before going to bed is obligatory. Moisturizing keeps your skin hydrated, thus preventing it from ageing. It has what your skin needs to rest all night.

5—Beauty sleep

Sleeping is really important to maintaining healthy skin. Getting enough sleep allows cell regeneration, reversing the damage caused to skin during the daytime. It leaves the skin to have the rest necessary to wake up the next day.

How to Look Basic but Classic

What I love about fashion is the fact that you can combine the clothes the way you want, and nowadays having your own style is what is a trend. So I’m giving you a cool idea of how to be basic while you can look classic. You can wear this kind of outfit if you like hanging out with your friends, you are going shopping, having lunch in a nice restaurant, or having a date with your crush. It’s perfect if you like to look fresh and comfortable but without losing the style.

To start, the first thing you need is a slogan T-shirt that I’m sure you have one in your closet, it’s basic! So any white T-shirt will be useful. Also, if you don’t want to go too basic, you can wear any top you prefer that it makes you feel comfortable, but remember that this is my way to show you that you can be basic but having a great style. If you like my slogan T-shirt, there are more cool options you will find online in different stores cause the ’90s are back with the slogan T-shirts, and this trend is so in!

Then, some cool embroidered jeans are perfect to complement this outfit cause here I am giving you a trend alert. I know it came from spring, but in summer you can use it too! These kinds of jeans with beautiful embroidery, you will find it skinny or boyfriend, they are perfect for any occasion you want to have a comfortable look, but with style and design. Some of them came with stylish holes like mine that it makes me take more risk on my outfit.

Now my favorite part: loafers! These shoes are absolutely nice, comfortable, fashionable, and they are the perfect complement for the look we want to create, the style is so classic and kind of vintage, you can wear them with a lot of outfits and styles, just let your imagination flow!

And remember you can always add your piece of style, like in this case I chose vintage yellow sunglasses that it makes me feel so stylish!
