My nightly routine, for the most part, remains the same. Wash the face in the shower, put on a nightly treatment, and lather up in moisturizer. Aveeno has been my go-to product for quite some time. I’ll venture out and try something new on occasion, but I nearly always have their products under my bathroom sink just in case. For the most part, I stick with a simple skincare routine at night that leaves my skin feeling perfect in the morning.
To be completely honest, I don’t have a lot of time for a complex nighttime routine, but I think it’s so important to take some relaxing time for youself at the end of a long day. Creating a nightly routine helps me to relax and take more time for myself each night. Welcome to my short Aveeno beauty regimen to leave you feeling relaxed before bed and your skin feeling flawless in the morning !

In-Shower Facial
While I’m in the shower, I wind down with a simple 60-Second Facial courtesy of Aveeno. It leaves my skin feeling refreshed before I go to bed.
Since I live in Arizona, a face wash at the end of the day is a total necessity. I’m usually running around in hot weather for the majority of the day so I’m always looking forward to my nightly facial. On occassion, I’ll use an additional scrub beforehand too to really clear out any clogged pores.
Nightly Renewal Cream
Before I lay down for bed, I put a age renewal cream and a moisturizer. Have you heard that you should use products meant for people ten years older than you? Well, I think my roommate told me this once and her skin is totally flawless so I started following her advice.
Now, you can totally use whatever you want on your skin, but if you use products “meant for” those who are about 10 years older than you, your skin will supposedly age slower. Maybe that’s why people still say I have a baby face – round cheeks and clear skin! I follow it up with a simple face moisturizer.
I’m currently using Aveeno’s Absolutely Ageless Intensive Renewal Serum.
All Over Moisturizer
Lastly, I am totally not afraid of gettin’ greasy before bed. I lather on all the moisturizer I can so that way my skin feels so soft in the morning! It locks in all the moisture after a shower and prevents the dry Arizona air from sucking my skin dry!
Take it from someone who used to skip this step – it makes a huge difference! I used to only put on lotion before I left the house and now that I moisturize before bed, my skin feels so much smoother and healthier.
I can’t emphasize enough how important your nightly routine can be. Taking a few minutes for yourself at the end of a long day can leave you feeling more refreshed in the morning and more relaxed at night.
