I have walked you through the in’s and out’s of my morning skincare routine but it’s time to swan dive into the evening.
I firmly believe in a good bedtime routine and even more so believe in firm skin. Listen, I am 26, and as my mother lovingly reminds me, I’m closer to 30 than I am to 20.
My goal is the be the hottest version of myself at every age. I fully intend on being the mom pulling up to pre-school in a white Jeep in head to toe Lululemon with just mascara, a wrinkle-free forehead (botox is on the horizon and I’m not shy about it) and the best gluten-free cookies for snack.
So essentially my life now with a toddler or two on my hip.
ANYWAY… to earn hot mom status, I stick to this nighttime routine…
(ps THIS IS NOT AN AD. I am not getting paid. I do have a discount code for you at the end in case you are interested. This isn’t a sales pitch just me sharing the products I love with the girls I love aka you)
First I remove my make up with Agran Oil from Fré. It breaks down my setting spray and gets every single bit of mascara + foundation off my face with basically zero effort. Plus I swear from using it to take off my mascara my lashes are looking thiccc and healthy. A little goes a long way so just three or four drops and my face is off!
Let’s chat about argan for a hot second. Okay if you aren’t on the argan train hop aboard sis. Let me just tell you about the magic that is argan oil (unless you have a tree nut allergy because argan will be less of a magical experience for you and more of a swollen situation… so sorry girl)
Back to business, argan oil protects you from the dang sun, therefore, it prevents sun damage + hyperpigmentation. Don’t believe me, check out this 2013 study. It’s able to do so because of its antioxidant activity… Vitamin E specifically is a fat-soluble antioxidant that allows water retention in the skin adding moisture and a glow to your complexion. If that wasn’t amazing enough, argan helps with acne by regulating sebum secretions… aka the oil that comes out of the sebaceous glands mostly found at hair follicles.
Are you impressed yet?!?! Frés entire line contains argan FYI and for every kit sold they plant an argan tree. We love that.
Then I wash with Fré’s cleanser, Purify Me.
After I pat my face dry… I never rub my face… or my skin at all if we are being honest. I always pat or fan dry (aka standing in front of a fan) as to not rub off my self-tanner.
Next, I move to my eye creams. I start with Brighten Me by Fré and then layer RoC retinol correxion eye cream.
Then I apply RoC retinol correxion Deep Wrinkle Night Cream. I love the RoC products because they contain the most retinol short of getting a prescription from the dermatologist. We love retinol because according to Harvard …
“Topical vitamin A-based drugs called retinoids—the most used and most studied anti-aging compounds— may reduce fine lines and wrinkles. … Retinoids reduce fine lines and wrinkles by increasing the production of collagen. They also stimulate the production of new blood vessels in the skin, which improves skin color.”
I mean you can’t argue with Harvard… Elle Woods went there.
Plus without needing a prescription, you can Amazon Prime your wrinkle cream or buy it in bulk at Costco. We love bulk wrinkle prevention.
Finally, I finish off with Recover Me and I am Love from Fré.
I love how moisturized and glowy my skin looks and feels after this two-minute routine. I know while I’m snoozing my skin is getting all the TLC it deserves after all the stress + sweat I put it through all day.
Then I swan dive into bed with a Dream Water and a smile.
PS If you want to save on anything + every Fré code ‘KD’ at checkout saves you 25%
Make good choices, look both ways!!
Love you the most,
Katie
