Realistic Night Routine.

Becoming a night owl the last couple of months has taken its toll on my night time routine, at one point I was following my night time routine non-stop. However, its slowly slipped out of my hands, but I've finally found a realistic routine that I can stick to every night.

Every night I always start with my teeth, I've never been a person to fall into the trap of 'teeth whitening toothpastes'. But after trying the Colgate MaxWhite, I've fallen into the trap, not because the toothpaste has amazing abilities that make your teeth automatically white. But, because after using the toothpaste, my teeth feel super clean and almost have a sheen to them. Some nights, especially weekends I use clay masks, my favourite one currently is Charcoal activated clay mask. I use this mask as a way to just sit back and relax to be honest. Also, the clay mask cleans all the built up dirt from during the week on my face, and deeply exfoliates my skin and neck.  However, on the days I don't use the clay mask, I use my all-time favourite facial cleanser that I have recommend to almost everyone I know. The 'Bioré 'Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser', I don't think words do any justice to this facial cleanser. Being someone who's tried every facial cleanser under the sun from Clean & clear to Neutorgena, This facial cleanser is different because it lifts dirt off your face which leaves your face feeling clean and smooth. Yes I know, I love charcoal. 

After washing my face, I usually use a warm towel to get rid of any excess product that's left on my face. Since I struggle with dry skin its important I use a water based moisturizer, the current one I use is a Vitamin E based one that I got from The Body Shop. I've been using this for the last couple of weeks and can really see an improvement in my skin. It starting to have a natural glow and doesn't feel as dry as usual, think this would be perfect for winter/autumn as that's the period of time where my face tends to dry up the most. You'll think after using all those products on my face I'd stop? Nope. Lastly before sleeping I rub in some Oils of Life from The Body Shop to further hydrate my face and give me a glow.  On a totally unrelated note, I think I've found the best smelling hand and body lotion that I use every night, it literally smells like bubblegum and sweets.
