Taking care of my skin has become a bigger priority for me recently. At 56, I’ll admit I’m still figuring out what works best for my skin, but I’ve started a new nighttime routine that’s already feeling like a little bit of self-care at the end of each day. I wanted to share what I’m using, along with links in case you’re curious about any of the products or tools. Let’s dive in!
Step 1: Prep and Cleanse
The first step is pulling my hair back and getting ready to cleanse. I start with an exfoliating face wash that helps keep my skin smooth and refreshed. It’s great for tackling texture and giving me that fresh-face feeling.

Step 2: Micellar Water for Clean Eyes
After cleansing, I use micellar water to remove any leftover makeup—especially around my eyes. Even on days when I don’t wear much makeup, this step makes sure my skin is completely clean.

Step 3: Refresh with Toner
Next, I use an alcohol-free toner to balance my skin. It’s a simple step, but it leaves my skin feeling refreshed and ready for hydration.

Step 4: Lock in Hydration
A good moisturizer is essential, especially with our colder weather these days. This one has been my go-to lately, and it keeps my skin feeling hydrated without feeling heavy.

Step 5: Don’t Forget the Lips!
I can’t end my routine without taking care of my lips. My favorite nighttime lip product is Aquaphor. It’s budget-friendly and works like a charm.
Step 6: Collagen Boost
Adding a collagen serum to my routine has been a game changer. I’m hoping this will help improve elasticity over time—plus, it feels great on my skin.

Step 7: The Infrared Sculpting Tool
Now for my newest addition: the LED face sculpting tool. Yes, I’ll admit I was influenced to buy it, and so far, I think I might be seeing a slight difference after a week of use. It’s supposed to help lift and tighten, which is definitely what I’m aiming for!
I’ll keep you updated on the results as I continue using it, but for now, it’s a fun way to finish my routine.
