What should I put on my face before sleep?

Cleanser, then moisturizer. That is the night. Sunscreen belongs in the morning, and it does not need a second coat before bed.

Night order

  1. Cleanser, then pat dry.
  2. If you have a night treatment, and the first week is over: one drop on dry skin.
  3. Moisturizer.

The night treatment is one thing. Retinol for lines, or eye care. An acid, if that is your treatment, does not share the night with retinol. Vitamin C belongs in the morning, not on the pillow.

If your face feels tight

A richer moisturizer is enough. You do not need a tightening oil on top of the routine, or a mix before bed. If a light moisturizer leaves you tight, the routine changes to a richer cream. It does not grow another bottle.

Five minutes is enough

Cleanser and moisturizer finish the night. If a treatment is part of the plan, one drop, then moisturizer. A long routine is the one that gets skipped when you are tired.

The next morning starts from the daily order, with sunscreen last.
