As we move from fall to winter, my skin needs more pampering to help it adjust to the changes in temperature.

STEP 1 - CLEANSING
My nighttime routine takes about 20 minutes a night, and cleansing is an important part of good skin maintenance. I like to switch off my cleansers so my skin has the benefit of different ingredients found in these products.
Beautycounter One-Step Makeup Remover Wipes
As the first step in my nighttime routine, I like to wipe my face with a cleansing makeup remover wipe. These clean beauty wipes by Beautycounter actually do what they say- take off makeup! They are super soft and even remove my waterproof mascara easily and effortlessly. And, the scent is great too!
Pai Camilla & Rose Gentle Hydrating Cleanser
I love using this cream cleanser—it’s the best for sensitive skin and a cult favorite! It removes makeup effortlessly and gently while replenishing the skins moisture barrier, plus it comes with a dual-sided muslin cloth, so it's perfect for deeper cleaning.
Pai Light Work Rosehip Oil Cleanser
I use this product to double cleanse and add extra moisture to my dry skin as we transition from fall into the cooler winter months. Another great clean beauty product from Pai!
Indie Lee - Brightening Cleanser
If you like the texture of a gel cleanser, this one is my fave for dry skin. This multi-use cleanser brightens, hydrates, and tightens the skin too! Love the light strawberry scent.
STEP 2 - EXFOLIATE
Tula So Polished Exfoliating Sugar Scrub
This is of my favorite clean beauty exfoliators—I like to use it a couple nights a week! It removes build-up without stripping my skin and leaves it smooth and soft. The texture is amazing, and the tropical scent makes me feel like I’m on a beach vacation, so perfect to use during the winter months. It’s also formulated with probiotics and superfoods like sugar, pineapple & papaya!
STEP 3 - HYDRATE AND NOURISH
Goop Genes All-In-One Nourishing Face Cream
The newest face cream by Goop is a super cream! Since it’s extra rich, I use this as part of my nighttime routine to deliver additional moisture while I sleep. This plant-based cream works to smooth, firm, and even out my skin tone. Love!
Goop Genes All-In-One Nourishing Eye Cream
This amazing new eye cream has recently become my fave and is full of a high-concentration of active ingredients, including caffeine, to help soften my lines and help me wake up looking refreshed and well-rested!
Once a week, in place of my nightly eye cream, I use these medical-grade silicon patches to deliver extra hydration and firm my under-eye area and crows feet. I sleep in these, and when I remove them in the morning I see results - tighter, smoother skin!
Soma Ayurvedic Vitamin C Serum - Citrus and Rose
This Vitamin C Serum has the feel of a face-oil and is one of the BEST scents I’ve ever smelled in a beauty product! The blend of anti-aging herbs and natural vitamin C makes my skin feel extra hydrated while working to diminish those pesky dark spots and even out my complexion. I slather it on every night!
I love using this roller, nightly, along with my Vitamin C serum. It gives me a great face massage, promotes lymphatic draining, and reduces puffiness and wrinkles.
Primally Pure Eucalyptus and Lavender Body Butter
Use code GLOWGIRL for 10% off your first purchase!
As the season changes, I use this as an extra moisture lock on my elbows, knees, and any dry patches. The lavender scent is the perfect fix to help relax at the end of a stressful day!
Furtuna Skin Rinascita Delle Olive
This replenishing balm is made in Italy from medicinal botanicals and I love to use it when my skin is feeling extremely dry (which for me is often). It’s the perfect product to use as part of your winter regimen. This super-rich and intense moisturizer balm will hydrate even the driest of skin and leaves it incredibly glowy. It literally brings my stressed skin back to life by morning!
Kari Gran Lip Whip Treatment Balm
This feels like velvet on my lips! I use it as an overnight lip conditioner, especially as we start to sleep in dryer, cooler air.
NueLash Lash and Brow Enhancing Serum
I’ve been using this duo daily at night for the past few months, and it has dramatically improved the condition and appearance of my lashes and brows. Even my daughter noticed how thick my brows looked and asked what I was using lately to get them so bushy! I mentioned that it was probably the combination of this serum and my fave Hush & Hush DeeplyRooted Supplements (I take two of these at night and two in the morning).
I do like to take baths at night about 3 times a week, especially as we transition into winter. I recently discovered this brand “State Of” and can’t get enough of it (launched by the former president of Glossier)! These lavender bath salts help reduce inflammation, making it easy to relax and wind down for bedtime.
STEP 4 - SLEEP WELL
Use code Glowgirl15 for 15% off!
Made by one of my favorite CBD companies, these delish gummies are natural supplements that are known to help induce a restful night. I’ve been using these (and several of their other products) quite a bit lately because they work so well when I need a little extra help falling asleep!
This Works Deep Sleep Pillow Spray
This sleep spray is the final step in my nighttime routine. Its signature blend of lavender, vetiver, and chamomile helps to reduce any leftover anxiety from the day, and the amazing scent lulls me into a deep sleep. A good night's sleep is one of the best things you can do to keep your skin looking and feeling beautiful!
Sagely Naturals CBD Body Oil - Drift and Dream
This CBD body oil has become part of my nightly ritual, relaxing me at the end of a long day. It’s a light-weight dry body oil that easily absorbs into my skin—and the scent is great too!
I have found this solid nighttime skincare routine to be transformative, and I look forward to it at the end of each day (even though my husband Michael is always wondering what I am doing in the bathroom for so long)! I think it’s worth it to take these steps to keep my skin game glowing strong no matter what the season. I hope you find some new products you’d like to add to your wind-down ritual…your skin will definitely thank you! In the comments below, please let me know some of your favorites too!
