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