Our founder Katherine has a very extensive bed time routine which she swears by! Here is here step-by-step showcasing all the products she uses before a good night’s sleep:
Step 1 — Use an Oil or Balm Cleanser
This removes – spf, makeup, dirt, bacteria etc… Concept is – matter dissolves matter so it acts like a suction to these particles and lifts them off the skin gently! This is a NON NEGOTIABLE for me and in my top 5 top beauty tips.
This actually cleans your skin rather than taking the top layers of your day off. I use the analogy of removing your clothing before showering and then cleaning your body in shower. YOU NEED BOTH! I switch up my cleansers based on my skin and what it needs or what new things i’m loving. This product is really incredible – especially if you want a deeper but gentle clean.
Step 3 — Mist – toner – essence
I do it all and this product I actually cannnot live without.. it’s INSANE! When I am out of it I notice the difference in my skin. I love a mist in general this one is just top notch. I use this AM & PM – rehydrated the skin after cleansing, rebalances pH, plumps, gets skin ready for actives (serums) truly amazing.
Probably unnecesary since I already used a mist but this product is WOW and I looooove a milky essence. Truly see the difference in my dewy, glow, radiance when I add this step in. I have been using this the last 6 weeks and I’m obsessed… I’ve bought multiples. Ingredients are clean! I also love adding into foundation if i’m gonna wear at night
This is the one I use and I use it every single night. It’s pre-timed to 10 mins – it’s easy you can walk around if you want etc… These are amazing and help with collagen production, brightness to the skin, healing etc BUT you have to use them at least 5 x a week or else it’s kinda useless and you have to be consistent and keep up. use code: KATHERINE10 to save 10%
I’m now doing this every other night I did it every single night for 90 days — honestly I’m not sure if it’s worth the price tag BUT it does sculpt the face, lift, better overall appearance of the skin, less pigmentation.. it’s subtle but it works. I guess for the price I was expecting to look like Lindsay Lohan post facelift but over time it basically climates sagging etc ..really insane for the jaw line i will say! they just came out with a PRO device that I would love but I’d have to sell a kidney so I’ll pass for now. I also purchased the NIRA laser which is diff and am going to start that soon!
Step 7 – Eye cream
I always apply BEFORE moisturizer or oils – you want those actives to get in there! I see so many people do this as a last step and it’s a mistake. I change my eye creams up all the time. Currently loving this one… I always use the left over on my laugh lines.
Step 8 — Retinol Cream
This is a very special product… as is most of the SJ line. 0.5% retinol, this kinda just does it all.. plumps fine lines, brightens skin, removes pigmentation, helps with dryness, improves radiance, helps with uneven texture etc etc etc does it all!
The face oil to end all face oils! It is pretty special. Filled with powerful nutrients to calm irritation, detoxify pores and hydrate your skin. I love to use as a last step – you wake up glowing and it is just gives that little extra boost!
Make sure your lips are hydrated before a good night’s sleep! The Doré Baume is a must.
