Why Your PM Routine Matters
After a long day of being exposed to dirt, sweat and stress, your skin is due for some much-needed TLC. While your daytime routine is all about protection, your nighttime routine is all about restoration. So, a proper nighttime skincare routine will help your skin do what it already does naturally, more efficiently. At a minimum, you want to ensure you have a cleanser, mist, serum, and moisturizer in your PM arsenal.
Not sure where to start? Here’s an inside look at Tifini’s current PM skincare routine for some inspiration.
An Inside Look at Tifini’s Nighttime Skincare Regimen
Step 1: Dual Cleanse
Cleansing the skin is the first and most important step of your skincare routine because it helps to prep the skin to best absorb the rest of your routine. I love dual cleansing with an oil based cleanser to remove dirt, oil and makeup, followed by a water-based cleanser to hydrate, smooth and exfoliate the skin.
I’m currently loving the VI Derm Gentle Cleanser for a gentle, yet effective cleanse. This cleanser is packed with powerful Aloe Vera and antioxidants to effectively diminish oil build-up, enlarged pores, discoloration and acne to leave your skin feeling hydrated and refreshed after use.
Step 2: Facial Mist
After cleansing, it’s time to further prep the skin for treatment. I love to follow-up cleansing with a hydrating mist.
Pro Tip: Always start with a damp face before applying product! It will spread more evenly and you will use less
Using a hydrating mist will help to drive your products deeper into the skin. I rotate between using either the DMK Herb & Mineral Mist or Acu Mist depending on what my skin needs most. I use the Herb & Mineral Mist on a regular basis, but switch to Acu Mist if I’m experiencing more breakouts (yes, estheticians get breakouts too).
Step 3: Oils & Serums
Next comes the hydration and restoration. Let me introduce you to the holy trinity of hydration for your skin. The combination of Herb & Mineral Mist with the DMK Beta Gel & Seba E is like giving your skin a drink of ultra-healing, anti-aging redness reducing, life giving water.
While Seba E works to restore your skin barrier, Beta Gel drives deep into the skin to help reduce swelling and inflammation. The DMK Beta Gel Serum is packed with beta glucan, Vitamin B & C that goes to work immediately boosting the skin’s immune defense system. This combination of serums helps to create healthier skin cells that can withstand the daily damage caused by sun, stress and free radicals.
Step 4: Moisturizer
Once the hydration is complete, it’s time to treat and exfoliate with my ALL TIME favorite moisturizer. I’m currently obsessed with the VI Retinol Age-Defying Moisturizer. This glycolic-based moisturizer has retinol as its sidekick and really packs a punch! I use this moisturizer to gently exfoliate away light sun damage, and old blemish marks while smoothing to refine texture and pores. I started seeing results after a few uses, and have been hooked ever since.
Step 5: Pigment Correction
I’m currently working on removing pigment that I got while pregnant and have found two products that I absolutely love using at the end of my routine. First up is the real hero product for anyone with more extensive pigment. The VI Skin Lightening Complex is ideal for treating sun damage and acne scarring.
Last, but not least, I seal in all the goodness with the DMK Herbal Pigment Oil. This is a booster that helps to brighten, smooth and strengthen the skin and is ideal for skin that is hyperpigmentation prone. It’s formulated to weaken dead skin cells, smoothing the skin and brightening pigmentation while pumping the skin with lipids to give a plump and rejuvenated appearance.
Finding a PM Routine that Works
A great nighttime routine is one that is customized to your skin’s specific concerns and uses the right products, in the right order to keep your complexion clear and your skin firm.
