As I get older baggy eyes, dark circles, puffiness an sallowness seems to be manifesting morning after morning.  I am finding myself paying careful attention to my sleep, skincare and night time rituals.

Why DIY Beauty Recipes for a Nighttime Routine?

Here is What I have been doing to make Sure I get Adequate Sleep, Beauty and Wellness during my old Age.  At night I need to make sure I have a perfect Night Routine!  For some reason if I skip my night time routine I definitely see the difference the next morning.

First I remove my make up with my DIY make up remover and then precede to cleanse my face with a gentle cleaner and moisturizer.  I place a teaspoon of cleaner onto the palm of my hand and rub into my face gently.  I use the balls of my fingers to gently massage each area of my face avoiding my eyes and mouth.  Then I rinse well with warm water and a wash cloth until all the cleaner is gone.

Now I do shower almost every night not only does it relax me but, it cleanse me off all germs from the day.  I pat dry in the winter months and every season moisture my body with my favorite moisturizer.   A shower or bath helps calms me down and is a luxurious escape from my daily routine.  Side Note~ baths go back to the days of the Greeks and Romans as luxury with exotic perfumes, oils and potions.  I believe the best time to take a bath is before you retire but anytime is fine.
