my current evening skincare routine favorites! I do use prescribed products (currently from Musely) some nights, but these are the products I reach for when I want to switch things up. similar to my morning routine, I try to rotate products often so I have a few options for each step. anything on this list has been extensively used by me and baddie-approved!

STEP ONE - you have to clean your skin before you can apply any additional products. these are my go-to favorites for the evening.
this is a great cleaning oil! it also has vitamin c, which is just an added incentive. I use this on makeup days as a first step to breakdown makeup before using a gentle, clarifying cleanser.
Vitamin C Lactic Creamy Cleansing Oil - Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare
a gentle exfoliant that is great for preparing the skin for serums with active ingredients. I have noticed brighter, more vibrant skin with consistent use of this product.
Superfruit Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser - Youth To The People
I reach for this one when I want that lux experience. from the spa-like smell to the gentle exfoliation and cleansing, it truly is a great product.
Tatcha | The Deep Cleanse
this is my favorite cleansing balm for removing makeup! you can use this by itself as it sufficiently cleans your face, or you can go
in with another cleanser to follow. a little goes a long way with this product, so it has great value!
Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm
toner | essence
STEP TWO - prepping the skin with a toner or essence is essential in boosting the efficacy of the steps to follow.
a liquid exfoliator for a fresh glow!
The Resurfacing Treatment | Glowing Liquid Exfoliator - La Mer
I reach for this toner when I want something hydrating/gentler in my evening routine.
The Essential Tonic | Hydrating Toner - La Mer
milky and gentle, but has some active ingredients that will complement the active ingredients of my nighttime serums.
Shop Cashmere Peel AHA + PHA Exfoliating Toner - EADEM
another great toner option with some active ingredients.

JiYu Korean Skincare Anti-Aging Toner Pads

STEP THREE - these are the serum and products that I use to address any active issues such as uneven tone, texture, or dehydration.
this vitamin c really transformed my skin with consistent use. it amped up the glow of my skin and the overall evenness of my skin tone.
Vitamin C Lactic Acid Firming Serum - Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare
I gave this product a try, primarily for preventative measures since I don’t have a lot of wrinkles… yet. The texture of my skin immediately improved after just days of using this product. I tend to reach for this treatment 2-3 times a week.
this is my favorite evening moisturizer! it’s heavier but extremely effective in adding hydration.
Shop Adaptogen Deep Moisture Cream | Youth To The People
eye cream
as a millennial, I know that it’s time to start using an eye cream and this one doesn’t disappoint! it instantly brightens and does improve the overall under eye darkness with consistent use.
love these with micellar water to take off the first layer of makeup!
SEPHORA COLLECTION Organic Cotton Pads
an essential during the face washing/rising process.
Clean Towels | Premium Face Towels for Clean, Clear Skin
masks | other products for extra skincare love
for my self-care, spa-like days! this steamer doesn’t “spit out” water and has a nice, even steam flow. the water tank provides a perfect steam session (as far as time duration)
Pro Facial Steamer - Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare
my absolute favorite pimple patches! they are extremely effective and typically prevent massive pimples when used at the onset of a pimple developing.
