Turndown Service — 5 Essential Steps For The Perfect Night Routine
I'm not going to bed without...
My night routine is entirely non-negotiable. Even on the nights when I’m exhausted, busy, or just lacking motivation, I still show up for it. I’ve simply learned the hard way that skipping it means a miserable tomorrow. Want to know what helps me wake up hydrated, glowy, and happy? Here’s how I end every night—
A night shower/washing my hair every day
Night showers win over morning showers every time. I love to do both on any days where time permits, but if I’m choosing one, it’s the one that takes off all of the day’s germs before getting into my nice, clean bed. Plus, it’s super relaxing to shower before bed. Part of my nightly shower is washing my hair. Yes, I was my hair every single day. I don’t feel clean unless I do, and I couldn’t imagine submerging myself in the shower without getting my hair wet. I feel like I’d just be cold? I actually have noticed my hair grows quicker and looks better when I wash it every day, and I don’t mind doing it, so it’s a must every night for me.
Skincare routine
My skincare routine is the most consistent thing in my life. I could get home super late or be half-asleep, and I will still be doing my skincare routine immediately after my shower. I enjoy my routine and find it really relaxing, so I don’t ever see it as a chore. While I believe skin is mostly genetic, I owe the remaining credit to being so consistent with my routine.
The Routine: I wash my face in the shower with my Rhode Pineapple Cleanser, then once I get out, it’s the Rhode Glazing Mist, Rhode Glazing Milk, Caudalie Vinoperfect Serum, YTTP Superfood Skin Drip, Rhode Barrier Restore Cream, the Biossance Eye Serum, and lastly, the Rhode Peptide Lip Mask. There was a short period of time when I tried mixing it up, but I quickly realized it wasn’t for me, and back to my staples I went.
Drinking tons of water
All I drink is water (not a fan of the taste of anything else), but I make sure to drink even more water at night. I feel like it sets up my skin to be extra hydrated and fresh in the morning, and it stops me from snacking late at night. I feel a difference in the way my body feels in the morning when I drink more water at night vs when I don’t.
Ten-minute clean-up
Before I shower, I always do a quick room cleanup. Even if it’s just ten minutes to pick up whatever I didn’t have a chance to put away during the day. I love coming back to a perfectly clean room after my shower, and I wake up in such a better mood when I’m waking up in a clean space rather than a disorganized one.
A sweet treat & something to watch
I’m doubling down here because they’re a package deal. I have an insane sweet tooth. A small percentage of my overall happiness comes from indulging in something sweet every day. Some days I try to be healthy about it; some days I don’t. Either way, I need something every night before bed. I’m aging myself so badly here (I’m 27), but there’s nothing more relaxing than being freshly showered, skincare done, with a full water bottle, a sweet treat, and a TV show to end your night. I prefer a show or a movie over scrolling on my phone, so I always have something to watch.
With Love,
