Don't Skip the Night Routine!

Genetics are on my side. My mother and grandmother have beautiful skin and they rarely wash their faces at night to remove the days’ grime and makeup. So that is what I practiced….until now. Despite not washing my face at night for 40 plus years, I have considerably good skin and even better since I switched to our natural and chemical-free products. But as the years march on, I can’t count on luck any more. How I treat my skin does matter.

I tell you all this because I have discovered that by washing my face at night and applying my serums and moisturizers as needed, my face looks and feels even that much better when I wake up. The nighttime is truly a time for the body, as well as the skin, to rest, revive, and restore itself. In the morning, there is a noticeable difference in my skin... fewer wrinkles, creamier skin, and less dry.

As co-founder of Caren, I like to think that I know a lot about skin and skin care. However, the moral of the story here is don’t skip the night routine. If you can take 5 or 10 years off the appearance of your face, then spending a few minutes at night removing makeup and applying products is time well spent. I don’t know about you, but when I turn 50, I am planning on appearing 40-something for as long as I can!

If I had known in my pre-40’s days what I know now, I might have erased even more years from my face! A little time invested today can pay big dividends in the future. Ummm, now off to invest some time at the gym to firm up these arms before they fly away!
