If you’re like me, the end of the day hits and you’re ready for bed. But you should never fall asleep before doing these 5 nightly beauty routines. The reasoning is simple–if you want to look and feel your best {don’t we all?}, there are nightly beauty routines that should take priority in your life. Here are the 5 things you should do before bed, every night.

5 Nightly Beauty Routines

Skincare

1. Don’t ever go to sleep without removing ALL of your makeup first! Makeup is a must for most of us during the daytime hours, but sleeping with foundations, powders, and blushes still on just leads to skin problems. Reduce your chances of breakouts, clogged pores and other skin irritations by always removing your makeup before bed. And that includes mascara. Did you know that sleeping with mascara on causes broken lashes? Especially if you tend to wake up and rub your eyes in the morning.
2. After you remove all your makeup with a makeup remover wipe like Neutrogena Makeup Remover Wipes, spend the time to thoroughly cleanse your skin with a foaming cleanser. This helps make sure your skin is really clean so it can breathe while you sleep. 
3. A quality night cream is a must of the 5 nightly beauty rituals every woman must do. It’s especially important for aging skin. Even if you believe your skin is moisturized enough on its own, you still need a night cream. Look for a night cream that is made for your skin type–dry, oily, or acne-prone.

Dental Hygeine

4. Don’t ever forget to brush your teeth before you go to sleep. You might not think it matters much, but it actually does. Poor dental hygiene is connected to poor overall health. Did you know that gum disease can lead to heart disease? Do your whole body a favor and add brushing your teeth to your list of nightly beauty rituals.

5. Many people think that a humidifier is only for kids with croup or adults with really dry skin. Wrong! A humidifier at night does everybody good, especially during the winter months. It improves your skin, improves your sleep, and helps you stay healthier. Add it to your nightly beauty routine today.

Now you’re ready to hit the sheets and get a good night’s sleep. Because we all know that a good night’s sleep is also an important part of those nightly beauty rituals!
