🌙 My PM Skincare Routine
24
items I’m 41 with combination and sensitive skin, living in hot and humid tropical Indonesia, so my evening routine is about keeping my skin hydrated, calm, and healthy while also giving it the extra care it needs. I sweat easily in this climate, so I usua...

🫧 First Cleanse
My first step for makeup removal. For heavier makeup, I start with micellar water to loosen and remove the bulk of it, then follow with a cleansing balm or oil before my regular face wash. For lighter makeup, micellar water is usually enough as the f...
My go-to for makeup removal. For heavier makeup, I use it as the first step before my cleansing oil. For lighter makeup, it’s usually enough on its own before my regular face wash. Gentle and convenient for those nights when I don’t need a full doubl...
La Roche Posay Effaclar Micellar Water
A gentle micellar water for removing makeup and sunscreen before your regular cleanser. A nice option if you prefer a soothing, comfortable first cleansing step.
SOMETHINC Calm Down Gentle Micellar Water
A gentle cleansing balm that doesn’t sting my eyes and does a good job removing makeup without feeling harsh. One of my favorite options for the first step of my PM routine.
SOMETHINC Omega Butter Deep Cleansing Balm
Hands down, the best cleansing oil I’ve ever used! My skin feels clean, smooth, and surprisingly plump after cleansing. It’s definitely on the pricier side, but so worth it for me and the 450ml bottle lasts a long time.

🫧 Second Cleanse
After makeup removal, I follow with a regular face cleanser to properly wash away any remaining makeup, sunscreen, and daily buildup. These are the cleansers that work well for my combination + sensitive skin without leaving it feeling stripped 🧼

Clean & Clear Foaming Face Wash, 150ml
I love how clean and fresh my skin feels after using this, without that tight or dry feeling. My skin feels smooth and even a little plump after cleansing.
Dear Me Beauty Skin Barrier Face Gel Cleanser
A pretty straightforward cleanser for me, but I did notice an improvement in my skin texture and those tiny bumps after using it. My skin also feels noticeably smoother after cleansing.
Cerave Sa Cleanser
💦 Face Mist
My little extra hydration step. I use face mists in different ways depending on the time of day —either as a refreshing finishing step or as an extra layer of hydration before the rest of my skincare.
Another little skincare multitasker I love. It’s refreshing, cooling, and soothing whenever my skin feels hot or irritated. I also use it as my “base toner” at night—a few sprays before my actual toner gives my skin an extra layer of hydration and ma...
La Roche Posay Thermal Spring Water
Honestly, one of those skincare products that seems too simple to be this good. It’s incredibly refreshing, soothing, and calming on my skin. I’ve even used it after getting badly sunburnt in Bali—a few sprays instantly cooled and soothed my hot, unc...
Avène Thermal Spring Water
💧 Toner
My PM toner rotation is focused on giving my skin a little more hydration than I usually need in the morning, while keeping it comfortable and ready for the rest of my evening routine. I rotate between different toners depending on what my skin needs...
A lightweight toner that gives my skin extra hydration at night without feeling heavy. It absorbs quickly, and I’ve also noticed that it helps calm some of the redness on my face… nothing dramatic, but enough for me to appreciate it. Plus, it’s budg...
Mineral Botanica Hydrating Toner 5x Ceramide
A lightweight milky toner that gives my skin a nice boost of hydration at night without feeling heavy. It absorbs quickly, feels comfortable on my skin, and is also a great budget-friendly option.
Emina Ceramide Glow Barrier Milky Toner
A weekly exfoliating toner I use around 1–2 times a week. I keep it on separate nights from my retinol, and I find it feels more comfortable when my skin is well hydrated. It’s also a pretty versatile product that can be used on areas like the scalp ...
The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toning Solution
✨ Serums & Facial Oils
This is where I like to give my skin a little extra care at night, from soothing and hydrating serums to more targeted treatments and facial oils. I rotate these depending on what my skin needs and usually keep the layers light, adding richer texture...
One of my go-to base serums when I want to soothe my skin before the rest of my routine, especially on retinol nights. It’s very calming and helps with redness, with an incredibly lightweight, almost water-like texture that absorbs easily.
SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule
Another go-to base serum when I want to calm and soothe my skin, especially before the rest of my routine or on retinol nights. Like SKIN1004, it helps with redness and feels soothing on my skin, but this one has more of that lightweight serum textur...
SOMETHINC Calm Down! Skinpair Barrier Serum
A thicker serum, but surprisingly quick to absorb and super hydrating. I’ve even used it on its own before bed and woken up with my skin feeling hydrated and plump. I usually reach for this when my skin needs some extra hydration.
La Roche Posay Hyalu B5 Serum
Retinol can be tricky for my sensitive skin. I’ve tried other brands that felt too strong and ended up causing breakouts. This one feels much gentler on my skin. At 41, I love how rejuvenated and plump my skin looks the morning after using it. I’ve a...
For Skin's Sake FSS Retinol Serum 0.15% with Ceramide
This is the older Bakuchiol Skinpair Oil Serum, which has since been discontinued. I still have some of my own stock from before it was discontinued, and I’m holding onto it because I genuinely love how it works for my skin.
Unlike the newer versio...
Somethinc Bakuchiol Skinpair Oil Serum
One of the few facial oils my skin actually likes, but I’ve found that the way I use it makes a big difference. I prefer mixing a little into my moisturizer rather than layering the oil underneath it. When I layer it first, my skin doesn’t seem to ab...
The Ordinary 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil
💦 Moisturizer
I reach for this when my skin needs extra hydration and I want that plump, glass-like finish. The texture is on the thicker side, so I only use a pea-sized amount in the AM, which also helps my makeup sit nicely. At night, I use a little more when my...
Facetology Triple Care Ceramoist B5 Barrier Boost Cream
A lightweight moisturizer with a texture that’s almost half gel, half cream so it feels really comfortable on my skin. It has a soothing feel, moisturizes well, and absorbs quickly without leaving my skin feeling heavy. I also love using it as a base...
SOMETHINC Calm Down Skinpair R-Cover Cream
💋 Lip Care
My go-to overnight lip treatment. The texture feels rich in the pot but literally melts upon contact with my lips, so it’s easy to spread without needing much. I wake up with my lips feeling soft, smooth, and nicely plump.
Laneige Hydrating Lip Sleeping Mask Treatment
A classic lip staple I always keep around. It has a thicker, slightly oily ointment texture, so I usually apply a thin layer when my lips need extra moisture and protection. It’s especially nice when my lips are feeling dry or flaky, and I love how s...
Lucas'Papaw Remedies Papaw Ointment
🎭 Sheet Masks
My go-to shortcut for those nights when I’m too lazy to do my full skincare routine. A good sheet mask gives my skin an instant boost of hydration and leaves it looking plump, fresh, and healthy… basically my one-stop skincare routine when I don’t fe...
One of my favorites when my skin needs some calming. It instantly feels soothing and calming on my skin while giving it a nice boost of hydration. My skin feels refreshed, hydrated, and more plump afterward.
Dr. Jart+ Soothing Hydra Solution Sheet Mask
Okay, this one is magical. It gives my skin a serious hydration boost and leaves it super plump, firm, and glass-like. My skin looks so fresh, smooth, and bouncy afterward that I completely understand why this went viral on TikTok. 10,000/10 from me.
