Introduction
As for skincare devotees, we follow a morning skincare routine for a healthy glow with some leaving it at an SPF and others applying makeup to keep them turbocharged during the day. But what happens when the day gets over? Do we need a night skincare routine as well? With a gruelling day at work, some of us tend to skip a nightly skincare ritual – completing daily chores and duties. Why go the extra mile? Allow us to elucidate on the importance of a daily nighttime skincare routine.
Why do we need a night skincare routine and why is it important?
At night, the skin is completely free from the external environmental toxins and stressors – and that’s when the skin heals and repairs itself. Without any thick makeup products that could clog your pores, the skin can breathe better and is able to easily absorb skincare products to deeply nourish and treat the skin. Hence, high-performance skincare products are recommended in your skincare regimen to treat the targeted skincare concerns. (1)
Routine As Per Your Skin Type
There are three common skin types and their corresponding night time skincare routines:
- Normal: A gel cleanser or Ubtan, a toner, a serum and a nourishing moisturizer.
- Dry: An oil-based cleanser or Ubtan, a hydrating and moisturising toner, a thick serum and rich moisturizer.
- Combination/Oily: A water-based or Ubtan, a toner, a lightweight serum and a gel-based moisturiser.
Best Night Skincare Routine: Step by Step
Step 1: Cleanse and purify your face

Step 2: Tone to hydrate
It is imperative to use a toner after your nightly cleanse as the toner helps to bring back the hydration in the skin and also tightens your pores, balances the skin’s natural pH levels and removes any dirt that may have been left behind. (2)
Our Facial Tonic Mists Panchpushp or Rosewater to lock in moisture and plump the skin. This facial tonic mist contains five floral waters — which are extracted via a laborious steam-distillation method — that include naturally hydrating Rose, moisture-retaining Bela, antioxidant-rich Parijat, cooling Kewda, and illuminating Saffron.

Directions for usage: From a distance, spritz onto the face and neck, 2-3 times. Store in a refrigerator for maximum efficacy.
Step 3: Apply a serum to seal in the moisture
A serum is a super-dense and nutrient-high treatment, having a thin consistency, which penetrates into the deepest layers of the skin – stimulating the underlying tissue for cell rejuvenation. The Forest Essentials Advanced Soundarya Age Defying Serum with 24K Gold is a flawless formula that contains precious herbs, which help reduce the early signs of ageing and pigmentation. Used by turning 24K Gold into ash or Bhasma, this age-arresting formula has illuminating and radiance-giving properties.

Directions for usage: Take a few drops of the Advanced Serum and massage gently using upward strokes on the face and skin. Suitable for all skin types except acne-prone skin.
Step 4: Gentility for the eyes
When it comes to the night skincare routine, one must not forget to take care of their eye area as the first lines, wrinkles and age spots tend to appear there. With each passing day, the under-eye area generates dark circles and wrinkles if not taken proper care of.
To soothe the stressed lines, the Forest Essentials Eye Serum Concentrate with Bakuchiol, Caffeine, and Hyaluronic Acid acts as a luxurious accompaniment. Enriched with highly potent extracts of Coffee Bean, Red Banana Flower, Potato Starch and Wheat Protein, this serum helps boost cellular repair and diminishes puffiness around the eyes.
Directions for usage: Take a few drops on your ring finger and then gently dab around the eye area to soothe and firm.

Step 5: Moisturize and massage
The final step of your ideal nighttime skincare routine can be broken down into two – a pre-moisturiser and a moisturising night cream. Night creams generally tend to be more nourishing as they’re made with potent herbs and oil-based ingredients that protect and add nutrition to your skin, helping it regenerate during your sleep – hence, providing a healthy glow in the morning.
- Pre-moisturiser: Forest Essentials’ Advanced Sanjeevani Beauty Elixir is a potent blend of Ayurvedic herbs including the ancient and iconic Sanjeevani herb infusion known to restore youthful and glowing skin. It is a light gel-textured pre-moisturiser that penetrates into the skin and makes it soft, supple, and plump.
Directions for usage: Take a small amount of the Advanced Sanjeevani Beauty Elixir and massage gently using upward strokes on face and neck with fingertips, after cleansing and toning.
- Moisturiser: You cannot forgo moisturisation, whether it is during your daytime skincare routine or nighttime. Forest Essentials’ Balancing Night Cream infused with Gotu Kola, Neem, and Pear Juice Ferment is designed to regulate oil production while hydrating the skin. Use this high-performance night cream every night to improve skin elasticity and keep your skin clear, even-toned, and blemish-free.

Directions for usage: Every night, gently massage a pea-sized amount of the Balancing Night Cream on the face and neck using upward strokes.
What type of products should be used?
The basic thumb rule to follow is to apply skincare products based on their consistency – from the thinnest consistency to the thickest, or from liquid-based products to cream-based ones. While your skin naturally heals and repairs at night, it needs a dollop of extra nourishment which is possible when you listen to your skin’s needs and use the correct night skincare products. Opt for effective natural products that are gentle upon application and have long-lasting results. At Forest Essentials, natural skincare is crafted using the best herbal ingredients captured at their most potent form for maximum efficacy — and free from SLS/SLES, parabens and harsh chemicals.
