Nighttime Skincare for Pregnancy

Today I’ll be dishing the details on my current evening skincare routine. Honestly this routine is great for anyone, but all of these products are also pregnancy safe. This routine is great for keeping skin clear and hydrated. I love waking up with clear, glowing skin!

STEP 1: EYE MAKEUP REMOVER

Because I have lash extensions I need to use something oil free to remove any eye makeup I wore during the day. I like these Clean and Clear Oil Free cloths to remove eye makeup while being careful around my extensions.

STEP 2: OIL OR BALM CLEANSER

This is the first step of my double cleanse. The purpose of this step is to remove makeup and sunscreen before cleansing my face. Currently I’ve been using the Beautycounter cleansing balm. I love that their products are completely clean and it smells like cucumbers!

STEP 3: GENTLE, LOW PH CLEANSER

A cleanser with a PH over 6 can strip your moisture barrier and invite breakouts so I always go for a gentle, low PH cleanser. My holy grail cleanser is Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser. It feels so soft and gentle on my face and leaves my skin feeling supple!

STEP 4: ACID TONER

After rinsing I use an acid toner applied with a cotton round. This helps to prep my face for acids and PH dependent products. Currently using Pixi Glow Tonic – it’s a glycolic acid toner which makes it an AHA. Safe for pregnancy!

STEP 5: ALPHA HYDROXY ACID

I use an AHA serum nightly, which performs best at a PH under 3.5 so this is when I apply it. This smooths away the top layer of dead skin cells to reveal even, glowing skin. I’ve been using Mizon 8% AHA peeling serum for years and it’s also pregnancy safe. Wait 20 minutes after apply so it doesn’t interfere with other products.

STEP 6: EYE CREAM

At night I like to use this Beautycounter Countermatch Eye Cream to keep my eye area hydrated. It really helps to soften any lines!

STEP 7: MOISTURIZING CREAM

I seal it all in with a moisturizing cream. I’ve been using the Drunk Elephant Protini Peptide Cream lately. I love that their products are clean and this moisturizer helps with firmness, hydration, and dullness and uneven texture.

STEP 8: LIP CARE

I recently discovered the Sara Happ lip products and I’m in love! She really is the lip care expert and her products are formulated with clean ingredients. I like to exfoliate with the Lip Scrub and then seal in moisture with the Dream Slip.No dry, peeling lips here!

And now it’s time for bed! Let me know if you have any questions or try any of these products. I’d love to hear!
