After a long day, your skin needs more than just a quick wash—it needs a night skincare routine designed to cleanse, repair, and deeply hydrate. Your nighttime routine is essential for removing makeup, dirt, and pollution while preparing your skin for overnight renewal.
Follow this simple but effective night time skincare routine to wake up with refreshed, radiant skin.
step 1: double cleanse to remove makeup, dirt, and oil
The double cleansing method ensures all makeup, sunscreen, and impurities are thoroughly removed.
how to double cleanse:
-
First cleanse: Use a nourishing cleanser like skoah kleansing lotion to gently lift dirt and oil while providing hydration. Formulated with highly refined olive oil and comfrey root extract, it cleanses without clogging pores or irritating the skin.
-
Second cleanse: Follow up with a gentle water-based cleanser like skoah gel kleanser for a deeper cleanse and a refreshed feeling.
pro tip: Even if you don’t wear makeup, double cleansing helps remove pollutants and excess oil that build up throughout the day.
step 2: apply active treatments (retinol, AHAs, or serums)
Nighttime is the best time to apply active ingredients that work while you sleep. Depending on your skin concerns, you can use:
-
Retinol (Vitamin A): Helps with anti-aging, texture, and acne. Try skoah retinol concentrate for gradual skin renewal.
-
AHAs (like glycolic or lactic acid): Exfoliate dead skin cells and promote brightness. skoah aha mask is a great choice for gentle but effective exfoliation.
-
Hydrating serums: If your skin needs extra moisture, use skoah skin boost serum with hyaluronic acid for deep hydration.
important:
-
Do not mix retinol and AHAs in the same routine—they can cause irritation.
-
If using retinol, apply only at night and always use SPF the next morning.
-
Alternate actives: Use AHAs on one night, retinol on another, and keep a night just for hydration.
step 3: lock in moisture with a repairing night cream
After applying your treatments, it’s important to seal in moisture with a nourishing moisturizer. Night creams are designed to be richer and more hydrating than daytime formulas.
best night moisturizers:
-
skoah dream kream – an ultimate night cream packed with peptides, ceramides, and vitamin E to repair and deeply hydrate skin while you sleep.
-
skoah dewlux face kream – deeply hydrates and restores skin overnight.
-
skoah moisture induce mask – a rich, creamy treatment mask formulated with shea butter, refined olive oil, and bearberry extract to infuse deep hydration.
step 4: don’t forget your eyes and lips
The delicate skin around your eyes and lips also needs hydration.
-
Eye cream: Say hello to beauty sleep in a jar with skoah dream eye kream. Packed with peptides, niacinamide, ceramides, and two forms of hyaluronic acid, this triple-powered formula strengthens, brightens, and deeply hydrates your eye area while you sleep.
-
Lip balm: Keep lips hydrated overnight with skoah lip dip 30, a deeply hydrating balm enriched with rice bran wax, co-enzyme Q-10, and lanolin. It provides SPF 30 protection, keeping lips soft and shielded from damage.
