The Steps
An evening routine typically includes: first cleanse (oil-based to remove SPF and makeup), second cleanse (water-based), treatment active (like retinol or exfoliant), and moisturizer. The focus is on repair and supporting the skin’s overnight renewal.
Simplifying
A minimal evening routine is cleanser and moisturizer. Add a treatment active if you have specific goals like texture or tone. Apply retinoids or acids every other night initially to build tolerance.
