My Nighttime Skincare Routine.

Helloooooooooooo guys! How are you all? I start school in TWO DAYS. That's so crazy! Part of me doesn't want to go back quite yet, but I am excited to see some of my pals again, and school means autumn and everything that goes along with that, and you all know how much I love autumn!

Today I'll be sharing my nightly skincare routine with you guys. Enjoy!!

Make-up Remover

Before I do anything, I have to take my eye makeup off. I don't usually wear any type of face makeup, besides maybe powder and a bit of blush.

Dr. Bronners Virgin Coconut Oil- I use this for EVERYTHING.
Around $9 at local Co-op.

To take off my eye makeup, I use coconut oil. Coconut oil? Yep. I use this oil for basically everything. It breaks up the makeup extremely well, and is also very very moisturizing, almost making it a 2-in-1 makeup remover and eye cream. Cool, right? All I do is take a tiny bit of oil, warm it up in my hands (so it becomes liquid, because coconut oil is solid), and apply it to my eyes to remove my makeup!

I also find that this works reeeeally well on lipstick!

Cleanser

 I actually am using two cleansers at the moment, both of which I've been using for a while and really enjoy.

Purchased from Target: $7.

Firstly, I use the Aveeno Clear Complexion Foaming Cleanser. This stuff is great, and I've been using it for a couple years now. It's very gentle, which is great for my fairly sensitive skin. It also has .5% salicylic acid in it, which is so little that it doesn't do a whole lot, but still helps a little. This cleanser also smells great!

This is just plain oatmeal, you can get it anywhere for around $3!

I also use oatmeal, which I bet a lot of people will find odd. But let me tell you, this is absolutely amazing. It is completely free of chemicals, which are found in most skincare products, so it's very gentle and soothes redness and irritation. It removes dirt, and the bits of oatmeal are great for a gentle exfoliating! All in all, this is fantastic. So cheap and so effective. My skin always feels so pampered after I use this!

Toner

Target: $6

As far as toning goes, I like to use the Neutrogena Alcohol-Free Toner. This removes excess dirt and makeup really well, I find, and it balances the pH levels in your skin. I just put some on a cotton ball and swipe it across my face after I cleanse, or sometimes in the middle of the day to freshen up a bit. It sounds super gross, but I kind of like looking on the cotton ball afterwards and seeing all the dirt that was on my face that now is off, haha :)

Spot Treatment

Department Store: $17

Every once and a while, I get a few blemishes and spots. I like to use this Clinique Spot Treatment. It has 5% benzoyl peroxide, which is a pretty well known treatment for blemishes. I find that this isn't too harsh, but only apply it to your spots, not your entire face!

Moisturizer

Department Store: $26. WORTH EVERY PENNY!

Eee, now onto my favorite step in my skin care routine!! I've been using the Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel for about a year now, and I don't think I can live without this product. It smells so lovely, and it works wonders on my skin. It leaves my skin feeling wonderfully moisturized, but not greasy. I recommend this product to EVERYONE. It's honestly a skin-saver.

That's all for today, guys! I hope you liked today's post. I suspect that with school starting, I will be a little busier, but I plan on blogger as much as I possibly can! When do you guys start school?
