When do you start your evening skin care routine?

So what is the answer? – I strongly advise my clients to start their skin care routine a few hours before bed. Why? Well unless you want a very well moisturised pillow it's best to allow your skin care the time to absorb into your skin. There’s no point spending so much time, money and effort on an evening skin care routine if it's just rubbing off on your pillow and sheets. I must admit there have been a few occasions where I've left it to the last minute and gone to bed looking and feeling like an oil slick and lying on my back waiting for everything to sink in (not much fun). However, if you finish work and are staying in for the evening which many of us are at the moment, there’s no reason why you can't start your skin care routine straight away. A few hours before before bed is more than enough time especially if you have an elaborate skin care routine consisting of serums, moisturisers, eye creams and so on.
