An evening skin care routine is something most every Bella client has in place. I get it that long days plus busy evenings lead us to cut down or skip a multi-step routine before bedtime. But remember that pollution, sweat, makeup, sunscreen and more go onto our faces each day. So, try to plan for an evening routine because no one needs to wait until 9 or 10 p.m. or later to clean off harmful contaminants.

It’s super smart to start the process once you’re inside for the rest of the day. When you arrive home from work, shopping, exercise, school or wherever, make skin care part of your “coming home” routine. So, maybe unload the bags from the car, change into your comfy clothes, then head to the bathroom to start your facial maintenance.

Scheduling an Evening Skin care Routine

I try to start my skin care steps around 6 p.m. – before my evening hustle – while I also think about what’s for dinner. But if I need to head out to the dusty barn to feed and brush my horse, pony and two goats, then skin care waits until later! My family dinnertime, the animals getting fed and playtime come first, then I do my skin care routine after that.

My Evening Skin Routine from Start to Finish

At home, evaluate and treat yourself like an aesthetician would. These are the steps and products I rely on every evening.

The eye products, retinol and moisturizers are available at Bella and we can ship to you. Contact us by phone or email to order or for details on a specific product. These products work for my active lifestyle and oily skin. I’d love to talk through if they’re right for your needs. Everyone needs a routine that gives a smooth and plump face the next morning!

Over the Weekend

Scheduling an Evening Skin care Routine

Face masks are the best once a week treatment. (Try the Pumpkin Spice Biocellulose Face Mask from Trader Joe’s which has clove flower, orange peel and ginger root oils and shea butter.) There are so many balancing, single-use sheet masks and clay masks that lift away impurities and hydrate. Plan an extra 15 minutes for a weekend treat!

After a weekend that’s rough on my hair from extra hours out in the sun or sweating, I apply a deep conditioning hair treatment mask like Olaplex Hair Perfector or Global Keratin Serum and wear my hair in a braid for the day to hydrate and repair.

Since a face mask and hair mask require some extra time, fit them in on a day off.

Rest and Relax

Scheduling an Evening Skin care Routine

An evening skin care routine (and 4 p.m. isn’t too early!) with top quality products applied properly will encourage new and strong collagen and elastin that provide years of volume and lift to the skin. Then restorative sleep is next!

When you maintain this evening regimen along with a morning routine and monthly visits to Bella, beautiful results are not far behind.
