Relaxing Evening Beauty Routine
Did you ever noticed that those days that you are frazzled or stressed out are the days that are a bit more challenging when it comes to achieving *the look* you’re trying to achieve. I’m not sure why it is but stress has an impact on how we look and how we feel.
By following the same beauty routine each evening, I’m better able to anticipate problems that might happen the next day. It also helps me to remember to take care of the little things that I need to do to pamper myself and my skin.
- Remove your makeup – Never go to bed with your makeup on. If you’re pressed for time, use a make removing wipe rather than cleanser and water.
- Moisturize – You are never too young to add moisture back into your skin. Trust me, you’ll thank me when you’re in your 40s. I’ve been using the AVEENO ULTRA-CALMING® Nourishing Night Cream.
- Tweeze – Take a quick look at your eyebrows. Do you see any stragglers? Pluck them now and the redness will be gone by morning when you want to apply your eye makeup.
- Lips and eyes – Our lips and eyes need attention too. Add a moisturizer made just for the sensitive area around your eyes and apply a moisturizing lip balm to your lips.
- Body lotion – Remember your knees, elbows, legs and feet. Apply body lotion to return some of the moisture to your skin. Bonus points if it has a relaxing lavender scent.
- Take time to relax – Remember to take some time to unwind and relax before bed. Try a cup of chamomile tea and a few scented candles.
Sensitive skin can be unbalanced, leading to irritation and redness. AVEENO ULTRA-CALMING® Nourishing Night Cream, works through the night to help actively manage sensitive skin.
With ACTIVE NATURALS® Oat and Calming Feverfew® , two of nature’s most effective and clinically proven ingredients for sensitive skin, this daily moisturizer leaves your sensitive skin feeling soothed and nourished.
It’s clinically shown to significantly reduce the appearance of redness on the face and dry skin in just 1 week, while helping to replenish skin’s protective moisture barrier overnight.
It’s dermatologist-tested, oil and fragrance-free, and gentle enough for everyday use on sensitive skin.
Once you’ve taken the time for a relaxing evening beauty routine, lay out your clothes for the next day, set the alarm and you’ll be all set to take on the world.

Good tip re: the redness and tweezing. I’d much rather do it before bed than in the morning, too. (which reminds me, I need to go get them waxed at some point! I look like the Mountain Man currently, lol)
LOL Liz. Not a good look!
I started using body lotion just before bed after watching Downton Abbey. It makes me feel so spoiled to take those few moments for myself!
You’re right, the lavender scent is bonus.
I love Downton Abbey too!
I always put cream on my hands before going to bed – they really take a beating during the day. Especially during canning season. I like lavender as well and the scent is so calming. It’s always good to unwind in such a peaceful way.
Canning season definitely does a job on your hands!
These pictures came out amazing and I just love these products so much. I am ready for my evening night in!
Thank you so much, April!
Those are good tips. IN all my life I never thought to tweeze at night. That just seems like it should be something mothers teach their daughters, right?
Definitely, Karen!
Truth be told I need to be WAY better when it comes to my skincare. I’ve been known to go to sleep in makeup and not remove it for several days >.< These are all fantastic tips that I probably should start implementing in my nightly routine!
Thanks, Kayla. Glad to help!
That Ultra calming nourishing creme looks so indulgent. When I go to bed at night, I wish I had something to sooth me to sleep, I think my skin not feeling red and raw would be a huge relief!
I’m sure it would, Shelley!
