Sweet Dreams ♥♥ Updated (Winter) Night Routine

I just did my morning skin-care routine, so I figured I might as well do my nightly one while I'm at it! So here it is:

REMOVAL (EYE MAKEUP)

I start my nightly skincare by removing my eye makeup with coconut oil. It is the only thing that removes EVERY trace of eye makeup (waterproof and all), without drying out and stinging my eyes. It's a miracle product. Also the picture on the far right shows what it looks like as a solid, but if you rub it between your fingers for a couple seconds it turns into oil (you can see it's starting to melt). 

REMOVAL (FACE MAKEUP)

Not too long ago I was having a debate with myself over what to do with my Purity face wash because I have SO much of it, but I didn't want to use it because of the chemicals. However, nothing has removed my face makeup as well as this stuff, and quite frankly, everything else I have used (ie: face wipes, etc) have a buuunch of chemicals in them too. So I've decided to suck it up, and continue to use this stuff to remove my face makeup.

CLEANSER

The cleanser I use is Dr. Woods Shea Vision African Black Soap. I LOVE THIS STUFF. It does such an amazing job of cleaning my skin. I apply it to a face brush and lightly exfoliate for about 1-2 minutes total.

TONER

To tone my skin, I use the same toner as in the morning with my conveniant little spray bottle.

MOISTURIZER

 To moisturize my skin at night I use my own little concoction of oils. In this one I have avocado oil, olive oil, grapeseed oil, jojoba oil, tea tree oil, and lavender oil. I use this while my face is still damp from my toner and massage it all over my face. I do this while my face is damp because oils are emollients which means that they hold water into the skin to hydrate and moisturize...so basically, they work best with water..

NIGHT TREATMENTS/MASKS

 I love this stuff. I have used maaany different spot treatments (natural ones included) and this is one of the only ones that I have noticed actually gets rid of my pimples. I use it after my moisturizer has sunk in.

This mask has become another favourite nightly treatment as well. I have used it as a spot treatment and what I tend to do is use this on the tiny little rash like bumps I get on my forehead. After a couple of days they will be gone and I will be left with the larger, under-the-skin pimples where they dirt is starting to rise up and turn into white-heads, etc. This is when I use the salicylic acid treatment above.

So that is my nightly skin-care routine for the winter. Hope you guys enjoyed it/found it helpful!
