For those of us who aren’t fans of 8-hour sleep schedules and consistent routines, maintaining a dewy, healthy glow can be hard. If you’re someone who always forgets to take their makeup off before bed and spends way too much time scrolling on social media before bed, these tips are for you!
Melatonin is something you're probably lacking if you spend as much time on your phone as I do. Melatonin deficiency could lead to a disrupted sleep schedule*, which
leads to your skin looking tired and dull as soon as you wake up. The most sensible thing to do would be to stop using your phone before bed, but let’s be honest with ourselves and admit that that isn’t going to happen any time soon (you should always be turning on your blue screen filter before bed though!). This is why some brands have developed skincare which contains melatonin, so that your skin can rest and be rejuvenated throughout the night, leaving you with glowing skin in the morning. This also helps protect your skin from UV rays the following day because Melatonin stimulates your skin’s antioxidant defences.
Since I had been using ISDIN K-Ox eyes for months to treat my chronically dark circles, I decided to try their Flavo-C Ultraglican and Melatonin vials, and was thrilled with the results! Before going to bed I use Flavo-C Melatonin to rejuvenate my skin, then in the morning I use Flavo-C Ultraglican to brighten and protect my skin from pollution. I haven’t struggled with dull skin since I’ve started using these. I bought these from my local pharmacy, you can send ISDIN a message on their facebook page (linked below) to find out where the closest outlet to you is. While you’re at it, I would highly recommend picking up ISDIN’s latest cleansing solution. ISDIN Essential Cleansing Oil removes makeup so quickly and easily that I no longer have an excuse to go to sleep with my makeup on. It takes less than a minute to get all of your makeup and waterproof sunblock off, and doesn’t leave your skin dry or feeling tight in the process.
If you’re not a fan of cleansing oils then I would recommend a cleanser from another brand I’m in love with, the Apivita Cleansing Foam is a lovely lavender-scented cleanser which will also remove makeup in one cleanse and leave your skin feeling fresh and clean. I started using Apivita products after trying their range of express face masks. I still use these masks whenever my skin needs some extra care. If your skin is feeling particularly rough after a long week, these are the masks you need to get you back on track. First, start off with Apivita Express Beauty Face Scrub Bilberry, which will brighten your skin through the antioxidant properties of Bilberry and by getting rid of dead skin cells. Next, use Apivita Express Beauty Pink Clay Mask to get rid of any dirt and excess oils with its gentle pink clay formula. To finish off I like to use Apivita Express Beauty Artichoke Mask, which contains AHA and PHA to further exfoliate and brighten the skin. I also use the Apivita Express Beauty Ginkgo Biloba Eye Mask on my under eye area to get rid of puffiness and dark circles. You can also find Apivita Malta through their social media (linked below).
Those were my go-to products and tips to quickly brighten and revitalize your skin. Feel free to share your tips in the comments below!
