The simplest Step-by-step Guide to the Best Nighttime Skincare Routine
There are several things we do before calling it a night: brush our teeth, brush our hair and wash the day off our skin. The last of which has taken the Internet by storm with influencers sharing their nightly routines. From jade rollers to infrared masks, a skincare routine can be as simple or complex as you want. Here at Halo42, we like to keep things simple, because we feel it’s the best way to stay consistent. And when it comes to a skincare routine, let’s face it, consistency is key. If you’re looking to simplify your skincare routine or are looking to start one or start a new one, we’re happy to help. Inspired by a recent article in Real Simple on the best nighttime skincare routine tips, we decided to share how you can incorporate
Halo42 into your p.m. ritual to make the most of your skin while you sleep. In the article’s step-by-step skincare routine it mentions nighttime is the best time for your skin. It says, “While sleeping, skin undergoes a process of repair and rejuvenation. Having a nighttime skincare routine gives you the opportunity to provide your skin with the nourishment and care it needs before going into the repair process,” explains board-certified dermatologist Anna Chacon , MD, FAAD. Both of Halor42’s creators, Tim Quinn and Mark Turnipseed couldn’t agree more. In fact, while you’re catching z’s your skincare routine can actually help fight aging and environmental stressors for your skin.
Step-by-step Tips for the Best Nighttime Skincare Routine:
Step 1
Before winding down for the night, you’ll want to start your regimen by washing your face with something gentle. Halo42’s Soothing Face Cleanser is just that. It gently cleanses, hydrates, calms and protects your complexion with ingredients like Copaiba resin oil, sunflower seed, coconut oil, green tea leaf and camomile flower. Be sure to use cool water before washing and when you rinse the cleanser away.
Halo42’s Soothing Face Cleanser is more than just a cleanser – it's a multi-benefit treatment for your skin. Designed to gently lift away dirt, oil, and impurities without stripping your skin of its natural moisture, it leaves your face feeling clean, refreshed, and balanced. The Copaiba resin oil works as an anti-inflammatory, helping to reduce redness and irritation, making it perfect for sensitive or acne-prone skin. Sunflower seed and coconut oils provide nourishing hydration while helping to maintain your skin's protective barrier, ensuring it stays soft and supple. Green tea leaf offers antioxidant protection, fighting environmental stressors and promoting a brighter complexion, while chamomile flower soothes and calms any irritation. Used consistently, Halo42’s Soothing Face Cleanser helps improve the overall texture and tone of your skin, giving you a healthier, more radiant glow.
Step 2
It’s all about maintaining your skin’s PH levels, so get toning. Eminence Pineapple Refining Tonique not only tones, it also gently exfoliates skin for a healthy glow. Give your toner time to set it, roughly a minute or two, so it can seep into the skin and do its intended job.
Step 3
Pick your treatment. Here’s where you can customize what your skincare routine most needs. If you’re starting to see fine lines and wrinkles, an anti-aging stance is where you’ll want to go with the third step. We suggest adding Halo42 Anti-Aging Eye Oil to this aspect of your routine. “The oils just make for a tremendous moisturizer throughout the evening. I think that’s when our skin does the most recovery, and the Copaiba really allows for that to take place throughout the night,” Turnipseed says.
If you have acne-prone skin, you’ll want to look into a clarifying treatment. If you suffer from dark spots, we suggest a pigment-reducing treatment. One product we can recommend that works for all three is our Halo42 Glow Recovery Mask . Its objective is to hydrate, rejuvenate and restore skin. Ingredients like Bentonite clay detoxes skin by absorbing toxins. Salicylic acid helps clear up acne and revives tired complexions. Sulfur and zinc oxide give skin a healthy matte glow by absorbing excess oil. Consider adding it to your routine two to three times a week for 15 minutes for best results.
"Moisturize. If there’s ever a time to add moisturizer to your skin, it’s nighttime."
Step 4
Moisturize. If there’s ever a time to add moisturizer to your skin, it’s nighttime. Adding an oil is also the best way to lock in a leave-on treatment from step three. We can’t think of a better face oil to lock the moisture into your skin than Halo42’s Nourishing Face & Body Elixir Oil. The Copaiba oil is our secret ingredient to bringing the very best moisturizer to your skincare routine. Enhancing radiance and alleviating inflammation are Copaiba’s greatest benefits. An eight hour window to allow it to do its magic while you rest is ideal. And while you are at it, apply to more than just your face. The rest of your body needs moisture, too. And, after all, ours is for face and body.
Step 5
It’s time to rest your weary head. Be sure to do so on a silk pillowcase. It won’t draw the moisture out of your skin and it also won’t leave lines on your face. It’s also better for your hair, too. One of our favorites is Pioneer Linens Charmeuse Silk Pillowcase .
And with that, sweet dreams and happy skincare routine.

Ginger Harris spent most of her 20 and 30s in one of two places: parked in front of her laptop working as an editor or twisted like a pretzel in a yoga class. That was all until a friend encouraged her to try Pilates for the first time. A decade later, she’s now a certified Pilates instructor, who still camps out in front of her laptop to write for publications across South Florida. Through Pilates, Ginger believes you can think more clearly, overcome stress, feel better about your physical appearance and heal injuries and mental hurdles. It’s these reasons why she is dedicating her life to helping others through Pilates. Plus, she thinks toning up muscles, particularly abs, is a pretty rewarding payoff, too.
