The best evening skincare routine

Well-cared-for skin starts with a consistent routine. Your evening routine is the moment when your skin recovers from all the influences of the day. The right evening skincare helps you wake up with fresh, nourished skin.

Why is an evening skincare routine important? 

Throughout the day, your skin has to endure a lot: makeup, sweat, pollution, UV radiation, and sebum buildup. All these factors lead to a weakened skin barrier, clogged pores, and premature skin aging. At night, your skin switches to repair mode. By thoroughly cleansing your face and using nourishing skincare products, you optimally support this natural process. With the right evening routine, you give your skin the rest and care it needs to renew itself.

Morning and evening routine explained

Would you like to know exactly what each product does? In this video, our product developer Bob clearly explains how each product works and why every step is crucial. Below, you will also find the written step-by-step guides for both the morning and evening routines.

Step-by-step guide - Evening routine

STEP 1: DOUBLE CLEANSING

In the evening, cleanse your skin in two steps. Start with an oil-based cleanser (Envie d'Huile) to dissolve makeup, SPF, and sebum. Then use a water-based cleanser (Creamy Wonder Wash) to completely remove any remaining dirt and oil. This way, you can start the rest of your evening routine with a fresh, clean face.

STEP 2: TONER

After cleansing, use a toner (Belle Brume Toner). It restores your skin's pH balance and neutralizes the hardness of the water. This allows the following products to penetrate the skin more effectively and work better.

STEP 3: EXFOLIATION

Ideally, exfoliate or peel in the evening. This removes dead skin cells and impurities, leaving your skin feeling smoother and allowing products to absorb better. Choose a gentle scrub (Face Scrub Fresh Wave) or a chemical exfoliant (Peeling Peau Parfaite), depending on your skin type.

STEP 4: NIGHT SERUM

At night, your skin restores itself. A night serum with nourishing ingredients (Sommeil de Beauté) helps strengthen this natural process. Apply it after the toner and peel to promote deep hydration and repair.

STEP 5: NIGHT CREAM

Finish your routine with a nourishing night cream (Clair de Lune) that “seals everything in.” This cream ensures that the active ingredients in your serum and peel continue working while you sleep. Choose a formula that soothes, repairs, and hydrates.

STEP 6: TANNING DROPS

Would you like to wake up with a radiant tan in the morning? Mix a few drops of self-tanner (Wonder Drops) into your night cream. This way, you combine skincare and a fresh glow in one step, without sun or makeup.
