Curate A Night Skincare Routine With Forest Essentials

Skincare fanatics or not, we all follow a basic skincare routine in the morning, to take good care of our skin. While some leave it at SPF, others indulge in their fun make-up routines! But what follows when the day ends? Do we not need a skincare routine at night? Well, some of us have most definitely skipped skincare rituals at night. We’re at home, tired after work, managing to complete the daily chores – why take that extra effort?! With this thought, allow us to explain to you the importance of night skincare routine.

Why Do You Need A Night Skincare Routine?

At night, the skin is completely free from external environmental stressors and that’s when the skin cells naturally rejuvenate and repair themselves, while you sleep. Without any pore clogging make up products, the skin can breathe better and is able to easily absorb skincare products, to deeply nourish and treat the skin. Hence, this is also the time when you must include high-performing skincare products in your regime which treat targeted skin concerns.

Curate Your Night Time Skincare Routine, According To Your Skin Type And Concerns.

While the skin natural heals and repairs at night, it needs a dollop of extra nourishment which is possible when you listen to your skin’s needs and use the correct skincare products. Opt for effective natural products for the skin as they are gentle upon application and have long lasting results. Natural skincare is formulated using potent herbal ingredients and is completely free from SLS/SLES, parabens and harmful chemicals, which are responsible for disturbing the pH levels of the skin and worsen its quality, in the long run.

Here are some essential steps to curate your night time skincare routine:

Double Cleanse To Purify

By night time, our skin accumulates a lot of dirt and impurities which could be due to exposure to pollution, perspiration, or even synthetic make up products as their residue can stay on the surface of the skin if not removed properly. It is essential to clear out all the impurities from the skin. We recommend using the Forest Essentials Floral Make Up Remover Oil to wipe off make up and cleanse the skin, while moisturizing it as well. For those with oily or combination skin types you could alternatively opt for the Cleansing Micellar Spring Water by Forest Essentials. Follow with a gel or a powder cleanser to remove any residue that remains after the first step of cleansing the skin; choose from the range of Forest Essentials Ubtans which cleanse to deeply purify and gently exfoliate the skin, without stripping the skin of its natural moisture.

Spritz A Toner To Hydrate & Minimize Pores

Once cleansed, the skin needs a splash of a refreshing facial toner to re-hydrate, tighten pores and prep the skin for the steps to follow. Opt for the Forest Essentials Facial Tonic Mist Panchpushp to hydrate, balance and refresh the skin with the benefits of five flowers! Every spritz of the Facial Tonic Mist locks in moisture and plumps the skin.

Seal To Rejuvenate

Light serums and nourishing balms with the properties of rich emollients, are your skin’s best friend, especially at night! These are highly concentrated formulations which help stimulate the underlining tissues for regeneration of the skin cells. More often than not, these serums or balms treat the early signs of aging in the skin. In order to prepare your skin to better absorb the essential nutrients from your night cream, we suggest you pat a thin layer of the Forest Essentials Ojas Glow Replenishing Night Beauty Balm on the face and neck prior to the night cream. The Ojas Balm is infused with “Babchi” which is a natural form of Retinol that our skin requires to repair damaged skin cells, whilst encouraging the skin to illuminate from deep within. While the Ojas Balm is suitable for all skin types, we suggest going for the Forest Essentials Soundarya Serum to nourish slightly mature and excessive dry skin type. It is enriched with 24Karat Gold Bhasma infusion which deeply penetrates into the skin and restores the skin’s lost radiance for an iridescent look. It is also the best treatment for pigmentation.

Gentle Care For The Eyes

When it comes to night time skincare for the face, we must not forget to protect the delicate eye area because otherwise, irrespective of your age – with each passing day, fine lines and wrinkles become more and more visible. This is because the eye area is highly sensitive and thin in comparison to the rest of the face. It needs that extra care and attention to soften fine lines and soothe stressed veins. For this, dab a small quantity of the Forest Essentials Intensive Eye Cream with Anise under the eye area, using your ring finger with light pressure. Explore Forest Essentials Eye care range.

Moisturize & Massage

Now, lather a rich scoop of your favorite night cream as the last step of your night care routine. We suggest using the Forest Essentials Night Treatment Cream Sandalwood & Saffron, enriched with emollients of Kokum Butter and cold pressed Sweet Almond Oil to deeply nourish plump the skin and restore its elasticity, and Saffron which is traditionally known to illuminate the skin from deep within. While this antioxidant rich night cream is best suited for Dry and Normal skin types, we recommend using the Forest Essentials Night Treatment Cream Jasmine & Patchouli for Combination to Oily skin types. The latter is a decoction of oil balancing Ayurvedic herbs which provide the essential nourishment and hydration to the skin. Don’t forget to apply your night cream using firm and upward strokes to stimulate the blood flow towards the face!

We, at Forest Essentials strongly believe that with skincare, “customization” is key! Thus, it is important to carefully curate YOUR regime that includes delicate, gentle products to help restore that most coveted youthful radiance. When the night skincare routine is personalized to cater to your own skincare concerns, you see visible results. In keeping with this, you may also customize your own cream with Forest Essentials alongside our Ayurvedic experts who will also help you understand your skin and its concerns better.
