If you use heavy or waterproof makeup at night, you might want to include a second cleansing step in your routine. Double cleansing entails removing sunscreen and makeup with an oil-based cleanser and then giving the skin a thorough cleansing with a water-based cleanser
To address certain skin concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots, or dehydration, use a tailored serum or treatment that contains active ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, or niacinamide after cleansing
To further hydrate and nourish the skin, use a moisturiser afterward. Select a moisturiser that is appropriate for your skin type and takes care of any particular issues, including sensitivity, oiliness, or dryness
Apply a light layer of an eye cream or gel that is designed to target issues like puffiness, fine wrinkles, or dark circles around the sensitive eye region. Apply with a tapping motion with your ring finger to prevent pulling on the sensitive area
To hydrate and preserve your lips overnight, use a moisturising lip balm or treatment. To keep the lips supple and moist, look for substances like hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, or shea butter

Wash and replace your bedsheets and pillowcases on a regular basis to get rid of bacteria, oil, and debris that could get on your skin while you're asleep. Choose natural, breathable materials like cotton to reduce skin discomfort and enhance the quality of your sleep
