WHEN do you do your nightly skin routine?

Started doing skin routine at night rather than being manky and just falling into bed.

So, cleanse, tone & moisturise - and it feels good and is making my skin look much plumper and healthier.

But doing this before bed is a PITA - so when do you do your evening routine?

About 8.30pm when all of my children are in bed and I'm sitting downstairs watching tv.

Since having kids, once a month if I'm lucky Grin

CarpeJugulum · 08/05/2012 18:02

Ah... That early Stella?

Sounds like the kind of planning I'm after. I'm thinking about doing it once DS is in bed and asleep and I've eaten - so about that time.

Just feels strange to do a night routine then IYSWIM?

At night Grin

cocolepew · 08/05/2012 18:24

I've just did it, I like to be in my jammies early

badpoet · 08/05/2012 19:07

Yep, just after I have put the kids in bed usually.

amothersplaceisinthewrong · 08/05/2012 19:08

Just before bed, every night without fail.

Why wouldn't you do it just before bed,when brushing your teeth?

itdidntworkout · 08/05/2012 20:27

At the moment,it's around 10.30, just before bed, but it will soon be much earlier as I plan on starting retin a and you have to allow your skin to dry before application, so next weeks it will be around 9ish.

Afraid I do my mine just before bed, 11.30-12.30 and it is a chore. I'm trying the hot cloth cleansing method at the moment and have surprised myself by not omitting forgetting to do it.

coffeeinbed · 08/05/2012 20:33

Teeth, Clarins oil, nail oil, bed.
No fail.

ifancyashandy · 08/05/2012 20:37

I usually get in from work about 8-9pm & do it immediately to get rid of the tube etc. Double cleanse and tone. Then wipe toner over again before bed so I can apply night oil before hitting sack. Every single night.

MrsPlanB · 08/05/2012 20:41

I go upstairs about anhour before I actually go to sleep, so cleanse in the bathroom when brushing my teeth, then mosturise in bed, watching telly Grin

Ragwort · 08/05/2012 20:43

errrrr.... before I go to bed Grin but my 'routine' doesn't take that long !

FreakoidOrganisoid · 08/05/2012 20:46

I like to put the dc to bed then have a shower and put my pjs on for the evening so do it then. If I'm out in the evening so don't do the pj thing I usually wash my face before bed (or not depending how tired/drunk I am)

SkinnyVanillaLatte · 08/05/2012 20:53

Usually very very late in a haphazard way,if I'm honest. The thing is that unless you eat or drink nothing all evening,you have to clean your teeth before bed,so I slap a bit of cream on then (don't often wear make up to remove).

I'll sometimes floss my teeth on the settee watching a bit of telly.

EllenParsons · 09/05/2012 01:05

Just before bed - usually even if I roll in drunk and really late because I don't feel right going to bed without it. I sometimes take my makeup off earlier in the evening but I still do full routine at night.
