Night time skincare | HarleyJade



The first thing I do is take my make-up off from the day. For this I either use cleansing wipes (I dont have any particular brand that I prefer, I just choose whichever is on offer at the time) or I use the LOreal Paris Skin Perfection 3 in 1 Purifying Micellar Solution | link | on a cotton pad. Both of these do an awesome job at removing dirt and make-up. 
I then pin my hair back with an old school headband and wash my face. There's quite a few face washes I use but my favourite two are the Biore Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser | link | and the NSpa Hot Cloth Polish | link |. I use the Biore cleanser when my skin is feeling gross and clogged up, I find this really does give a deep cleanse and remove any dirt from my pores. The NSpa cleanser is a much softer face wash, it is a creamy formula and I find it really does soothe my skin when it is irritated.
I then use a toner on my skin, it is pretty important to use a toner on your skin especially if you use a harsh face wash. Many people do not use a toner as they find it doesn't do anything for their skin, however the job of a toner is to balance the skins PH. The one I like is the Liz Earle Instant Skin Boost Tonic | link |. 
I then use an overnight serum. The one i have recently been obsessed with is the Vitamin E Overnight Serum-in-oil from The Body Shop | link |. This has a cute little pipette dropper so it is easy to control the amount of serum that is being used. This product hydrates my skin and always leaves it plump in the morning. This is also the newest addition to my skincare routine, and makes me question why I don't used The Body Shop products more. I am going to be doing a full review on this little product so keep your eyes peeled for that!
For my night cream I use the Trilogy Rosapene Night Cream | link |. This stuff is so good, but it is pricey.

Do you have any recommendations on a thick, hydrating night cream?

Also I do appologise for the lack of posts recently and coming up, I have university exams that are currently taking priority. But before you know it they'll be over and I'll be able to devote all my time making my blog the best is can be!
