Nighttime Skin Care Routine!

Everyone's skin is different, whether you have dry skin, oily skin, combination skin, acne prone skin, etc. This makes everyone's skin care routine different and for some people their morning and nighttime routines may vary. With that said today I will be sharing with you my nighttime skin care routine! I'll start off with explaining my skin type. I have very dry sensitive skin and am very prone to eczema. I have it most of the year, very badly. And now my nighttime skin care routine! 





Product List:
1. Yes to Cucumbers Facial Towelettes 
2. Vaseline 
3. Aveeno Ultra-Calming Moisturizing Cream Cleanser 
4.Aveeno Moisture repair cream: Intense moisture
5. Curel Ultra healing lotion









First
I remove as much make-up as I can with make-up remover wipes. Currently I am using the Yes to Cucumbers Facial Towelettes.












Second
I then wash my face with my Aveeno Ultra-Calming Moisturizing Cream Cleanser. This cleanser does not lather and is supposed to be good for sensitive skin. After I wash my face, I pat my face dry. I don't exactly love this cleanser. I just feel as though it is not cleaning my face. Also it does burn my eczema and my dry patches on my face. I am currently in the market for a new face cleanser. Any recommendations? 






Third
After I pat my face dry I use my Curel Ultra Healing lotion. I apply it all over my face. To me this is a 'heavy' lotion. I only use it at night because I don't like the feeling it gives my face but it really does help my dry skin. On the back it says that it is non-greasy but that is the only why I could think to describe it. It could be because my skin is so dry anytime I find a product that really moisturizes my skin I think it's greasy LOL. 
It is a great night time lotion. 







Fourth
I then apply my Aveeno moisture repair cream: intense moisture. I love this lotion, it keeps my face very moisturized during the day. It does not burn my eczema what so ever. I use this at night and in the morning. I kind of smells like oatmeal (as well as most of my Aveeno products)






Fifth
Lastly I apply Vaseline all over my lips. Sometimes if my eczema is really bad I will apply it over my eczema patches before I apply any moisture to my face. I have found that by doing that it helps reduce the chance of my eczema flaking in the morning.
