I'm Obsessed With Skin Care, and This Is My Nighttime Routine

This Farmacy Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm ($34) is the first step in my routine. I like it because it really removes my makeup in a way that feels both effective and gentle.

I'm a big believer in the double cleanse, so I follow up my first step with this classic gel-based Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cleanser ($20).

If I'm feeling fancy, I'll use this foaming Dr. Barbara Sturm Cleanser ($70). Yes it's pricey, but it feels like a cloud on your face. It's the most enjoyable cleanser I've ever used.

Next comes toner, and I've been using this Fresh Rose Deep Hydration Facial Toner ($45) for years. It doesn't strip my skin or make it feel tight, and I like it as a second step.

Ok, hear me out. The Shishedo Facial Cotton ($12) is not your drugstore cotton round, but if you have sensitive skin, or have to take off stubborn eye makeup, there's nothing better than this.

Now we're at the mask portion of the night, which I like to use two to three nights a week. My go-to right now is this Summer Fridays R + R Mask ($26, originally $52) because it has the unique distinction of being moisturizing and exfoliating.

When my skin is acting up, I reach for this Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask to Clear Pores ($26). It's a potent clay mask that helps clear my pores, but it still feels relatively gentle on my sensitive skin.

If I want a real glow, this Kora Organics Noni Glow Sleeping Mask ($48) is it. I apply it on top of my moisturizer, and the results the next morning are pretty incredible.

We are now at the serum portion of the routine, and at night I've been obsessed with this Shani Darden Texture Reform ($88). I'm at the point in my life where I need to start using retinol, but as previously stated, my skin is sensitive, so this is a great beginner option. It also smells like roses, which is always a plus.

I'll alternate my retinol serum with this Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Resurfacing Night Serum ($90). Don't use them together or on the same night, but I love this because it provides just the right amount of exfoliation for me, and my skin feels tighter after using it.

Finally, I pat some moisturizer onto my face, neck, chest, and hands. The Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream ($30) is a constant go-to. It works with every skin type and doesn't break me out.

I'm sorry to your wallet (and my wallet), but when I'm feeling fancy, this Augustinus Bader The Cream ($170) really does live up to the hype. It's lightweight but somehow super hydrating, and it makes my skin glow, which, as you know by now, is all I really want.

The last step in my routine is the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask ($20). It's thick as can be and smells like berries. I apply it and wake up with soft lips; what more could you ask for?
