The feeling of coming back home and pampering the skin with a curated skincare routine is a feeling unparalleled by none. The act of taking care of our skin is not only relaxing but essential after a long tiring day. This is why having a separate day and night skincare routine is vital for good skin health. Similarly, you should use different skin care products at night than during the day as skin absorption is more during the night.
Today we will discuss the most important night skin care products that every girl must have in their wardrobe. Let’s begin, shall we?

What Is a Night Skin Care Product?
Our skin has different requirements during the day than the night. During the day, as we tend to go out more, our skin needs to be protected from external damage using products with SPF protection. Moreover, we must ensure that the products we use do not leave a residue on our skin. However, during the night, the requirement is quite different.
The first few steps in a night skincare routine are the same as a day skincare routine, which involves cleansing our face to wash off any makeup, dust, pollution and beauty products from our face. However, the next steps are more goal-oriented and require the use of specific night skin care products. For instance, you should use a toner that can be left on the face for a longer duration to maximise absorption.
Moreover, as during the nighttime, our skin heals itself, it is important to use night skin care products that compliment this process. Let’s take a look at some of the important night skin care products.
6 Night Skin Care Products That Every Girl Should Have
To make it easier for you to understand, we will list the products along with their use in an order that you should follow.
1. Cleanser
As it is with any other skincare routine, your night skincare routine must start with the use of a cleanser. A cleanser helps to remove the sebum (skin oil), excess dirt and pollution from your face to prepare it for the next step. At night, as you have more time, you can follow a double cleansing using these night skin care products.
2. Oil Cleanser
Oil cleansers are excellent at removing base makeup such as BB cream, concealer or foundation from your skin without having to rub it extensively. Massage your face gently using an oil cleanser to remove the makeup and get ready for the next step.
If you are looking for a new oil cleanser, you can look at Pure Sense Relaxing Macadamia Deep Nourishing Face Cleansing Oil, which is 100% natural and enriched with macadamia oil to nourish and cleanse your skin thoroughly.
3. Water-based Cleanser
The next step is to use a water-based cleanser. If you do not use makeup, you can directly jump to this step as well. The water-based cleanser helps to clean out the pollution, excess sebum, dust, etc., from your skin. The cleanser should be mild and chemical-free.
You can try Pure Sense Energise Grapefruit Revitalising Face Cleansing Gel if you are looking for a new face wash.
4. Serums
The best time to use a serum is right after cleansing as the skin pores are cleansed and can absorb the nutrients in the serum more effectively. As serum has a concentrated amount of ingredients, it is vital to use a serum that fits your skin type and is safe to use.
When looking for a serum, you should look for ingredients that can treat specific problems such as:
- Anti-ageing: Retinol, Peptide
- Acne: BHA (Salicylic acid), AHA (lactic acid, mandelic acid, glycolic acid)
- Hyperpigmentation: vitamin C, licorice extract, niacinamide, alpha arbutin
5. Toner
Toners are an excellent way to hydrate our skin. During summer, using a toner at night can instantly provide your face relief from irritation and help you sleep with a cooling effect on your face. Toner is a water-based product that includes beneficial ingredients that are generally hydrating agents.
When looking for a toner, look for ingredients such as antioxidants or humectants as they attract water to our skin.
6. Moisturiser
Be it night or day, using a moisturiser is one of the most important steps that you should use regardless of your skin type (oily, dry, normal or sensitive). While the type of moisturiser might vary, its function to moisturise the skin and trap the moisture inside the skin remains constant.
You should apply a generous amount of moisturiser on your skin as it will get absorbed throughout the night. Alternatively, you can also use a sleeping mask such as Pure Sense Anti-ageing sleeping mask with niacinamide and hyaluronic acid to give your skin extra nourishment while you sleep.
These are some of the night skin care products that every girl must have in her wardrobe. All of these products are an essential part of the night skincare routine and will help you have nourished and refreshed skin in the morning.
Conclusion
The night skincare routine is as important as the day skincare routine, if not more. As the skin can absorb the nutrients in the skin care products more effectively than at night, you should only use skin care products with natural ingredients as chemical ingredients can do more harm than good. Moreover, only use skin care products that are suitable for your skin type to avoid any complications.
FAQs on Essential Night Skin Care Products
1. Why is using night skin care products important?
At night our skin goes through a natural healing process as we sleep. Using night skin care products that compliment this process can help you have smoother, fresher and more nourished skin when you wake up. Also following a long-term night skincare routine will help you in ensuring younger-looking and healthy skin in future as well.
2. What night skin care products should I use?
The type of night skin care products that you should use depends on your skin condition and type. However, you should always start with a cleanser (double cleanser if you use makeup), a serum, followed by a toner and ending with a moisturiser and sleeping mask for the best results. Moreover, only using natural skin care products as chemical-based products can harm your skin.
3. What is the difference between a day and night skincare routine?
While the purpose of both skincare routines is to nourish our skin, the steps, products and processes can vary. In the day skincare routine, we use products that will protect our skin from damage while keeping it nourished throughout the day. However, a night skincare routine includes products that help in skin regeneration and quickens the skin’s natural healing process.
