My Evening Toilette
Most nights somewhere between 9 and 10pm, I announce to my husband that I’m going to do my toilette. This is my time to pamper myself and take care of my skin.
- If I’m wearing makeup, I remove it with eye makeup remover and cotton. It also removes face makeup like foundation and blush.
- I wet my face with warm water (never hot - that’s too drying) and work up a creamy lather with my favorite cleanser. I massage gently for maybe 20 seconds, rinse and pat my face dry. My skin feels clean and soft, not tight or stripped.
- A spray of toner is next. Toners are alcohol free and calm the skin preparing it to better absorb oil or night cream. The one I use starts the hydration process.
- Now I massage a cream or oil into my still slightly damp face and throat. The massaging part is good for increasing circulation. Massage in an upward direction, but again go easy.
- I finish by lightly tapping eye cream around my eyes and on my lids being careful not to go too close to my eyes. A little eye cream goes a long way.
- Before I get into bed, I apply lip balm and hand cream. My skin is glowing and I smell great. Just ask my husband!
