Nighttime rituals every woman should do

Good evening cupcakes!! As the day winds down and the sun sets a lot of us get tired and many forget to wash off our makeup... The is a major NO!! Always try to wash off your makeup before bed, I use st Ives green tea cleanser, it's gentle on the skin but still effective as I have very minimal acne *not always has this been the case* before washing my face I always dip a cotton ball in olive oil and massage the eyelid while removing my eye makeup.. Not only does it effectively remove makeup it always helps keep your eyes looking bright and healthy.. After washing my face I always use my egg yolk and milk moisturizer which can be found in my first blog if you're looking for the recipe.. This is followed by slathering on some cocoa butter.. If you're like me and have light and spare eyelashes a great tool to use at night is an eyelash comb and olive oil.. This helps the growth and makes your eyelashes look thicker! End the night with a gentle shiatsu massage, this can be accomplished by taking your finger tips *pointer, middle and ring* and gently tap your face for about five minutes. I like to focus under my eyes because I'm prone to dark circles.. This massage stimulates blood circulation and helps your skin to maintain a youthful appearance!!!

If you're feeling a bit dry on your body nighttime is the best to soften the skin.. I love walking barefoot in the house and because of this my feet tend to dry out easily so to remedy this I slather on some lotion *cocoa butter is best* and throw on a pair of socks and keep it there over night.. If your legs are dry throw on some tights or hose or even yoga pants.. Hands dry?? No problem throw Te gloves on over the lotion.. Keep on over night and when you wake up your skin will be instantly soft!!!!
