My Estée Lauder Nighttime Routine

12/8/2016

Pampering My Skin with Estée Lauder

I've been pampering my skin with a wonderful nighttime skin care routine by Estée Lauder. It's so relaxing and enjoyable to take some time to treat my skin to a super hydrating, restorative system that pampers my skin while I drift off peacefully to sleep. 

 Estée Lauder has created highly effective products that ideally work at night while your skin repairs and rejuvenates itself. Estée Lauder's night repair products take advantage of this perfect time to further enhance the skin's repairative properties while you relax and enjoy a restful night.

Setting Aside Some Time to Indulge with Estée Lauder

I've really begun looking forward to my special time in the evening when I get to indulge in my Estée Lauder nighttime system. It's so great to have some time to yourself to care for your skin and feel good knowing you're treating yourself. It's important to set aside some time to enjoy little pleasures in life to create peace and relaxation.

I enjoy my Estée Lauder time sometimes right before bed, after I brush my teeth, or sometimes a little earlier in the evening. I may do my Estée Lauder beauty treatment, and then unwind with a little TV or something good to eat. If I enjoy my skin care treatment a little closer to bedtime; it's nice to get right into bed, nice and cozy, and smell the pleasant scent of my Estée Lauder rich luxurious night cream on my face and neck. It's a comforting feeling to smell that wonderful scent, as a reminder I took some time to pamper and care for my skin.  

I've been enjoying stepping away into the bathroom, shutting the door and disappearing for a short time into an Estée Lauder get-away. These wonderful Estée Lauder products can be applied and enjoyed anywhere...in the bathroom, at a vanity table, in bed...wherever you enjoy your pamper time.

How I Apply My Estée Lauder Nighttime Products

I begin my Estée Lauder nighttime skin care routine by applying Estée Lauder Micro Essence, to create the perfect base for applying my other products. Micro Essence is a skin activating treatment lotion. I apply it after I've cleansed my skin, and it works great either applied with my fingertips or with a cotton pad. It feels very moisturizing yet lightweight, and as though it is creating a nice, smooth, clean palate to increase the effectiveness of the other products. They sink right into my skin quite well.

After I've created a good base with my Micro Essence, I apply my ​Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair serum (Synchronized Recovery Complex II). The serum is so rich and decadent, just a tiny drop goes a long way. All of the Estée Lauder nighttime skin care products are high-quality so you don't need very much to cover your skin. The repair serum, as well as the Micro Essence and eye repair are also lightly scented. The night cream has a more noticeable, pleasant, floral scent. 

I like to smooth my Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair serum all over my face, neck and even a tad bit around my eyes. It's so moisturizing and leaves my skin feeling hydrated with a beautiful glow. It sinks into my skin wonderfully and leaves it with a lightweight finish. I can see the radiance but there is no heavy residue, just a nice, smooth feel.

I add some extra protection and pampering to my delicate eye area with my Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye (Synchronized Complex II). It has a super rich texture and creates a thick layer to treat, soothe and give the eye area some special attention. I take a tiny bit and apply it with my ring finger. It is so rich, you only need to lightly dab a small amount sparingly. It smooths into the skin well, creating a lightweight finish. It also leaves a beautiful radiance.  

Finally, I like to seal in all of the protective and repairative benefits of my 
Estée Lauder nighttime routine with my Estée Lauder Resilience Lift Night (Firming/Sculpting Face and Neck Creme). It has a lovely, relaxing scent that's perfect for drifting off to sleep, while all of the products work together to repair, smooth and soften. It has a rich, thick texture that makes my skin feel hydrated, moisturized and comforted. It leaves a nourishing glow that compliments the radiance of the other products.

When I wake up in the morning, after using my Estée Lauder nighttime routine, and I cleanse my face, my skin feels amazing. It feels so soft and smooth. I feel so good knowing I took some time the previous evening or night to give my skin such a well-deserved treatment. We all deserve to take a little time to care for ourselves and enjoy some relaxation. It's wonderful Estée Lauder has created this effective yet super enjoyable, relaxing beauty treatment we can indulge in while we sleep. I'm looking forward to enjoying more Estée Lauder pamper time. If you would also like to begin indulging, check out Estée Lauder's products below:

Awesome Beauty Faves I’m Enjoying

Hair Care Beauty Fave

I’ve been enjoying some really awesome beauty faves that have been making a difference in my hair, skin and make-up routines. I’m so happy I discovered an amazing hair mask beauty fave that is exactly the type of product I like to have for my particular hair care needs. I’m always open to trying products that will help add moisture to my hair and this hair mask by Marc Anthony goes over and beyond!
beauty fave
It was amazing what an immediate difference Marc Anthony’s argan oil deep hydrating treatment made on my hair, even after just one use. It really did impart intense hydration and moisture into my hair. I would highly recommend this beauty fave if you want a hair care product that will give you an immediate result you can see and feel.
 
It was perfect because I could feel my hair had been deeply quenched by the argan oil but it had no oily residue in it. It still had movement and a light feel to it. It didn’t feel weighed down by any sort of greasy aftereffects. This mask is awesome for those times you want to gain some control over your hair, make it more manageable, nourished with a healthier look and feel. It’s great for when you want to see an immediate difference; and even more wonderful for adding health, shine and a more beautiful look to your hair over time. The natural ingredients like argan oil, grape seed oil and keratin; do a great job conditioning, strengthening, protecting and restoring your hair to a healthier state. It even has vitamin e and bamboo shoot extract. How cool!
 
Check out this hair care beauty fave here, as well as some of Marc’s other fantastic argan oil products:

Beauty Fave for Healthy Skin

Another awesome beauty fave of mine also has natural ingredients. The Organic Pharmacy’s rose cleansing gel is such a treat to use! When I first felt it on my skin I was amazed because I felt like I was cleansing my face with rose petals. As soon as I applied it, I felt such a soft, smooth sensation and that delightful scent of rose petals. This beauty fave is a definite must-have if you want to feel like you’re truly pampering your skin and using something super delicate.
 
The mixture of the organic ingredients and gentle cleansing are ideal for healthy, soft, radiant skin. It also has healthy ingredients like shea butter, grapefruit seed extract, aloe, barley extract, sunflower seed oil, geranium oil and bilberry fruit extract.
 
Add this beautifully scented rose cleansing gel to your skin care routine and check out some of The Organic Pharmacy’s other amazing natural products here:

Beauty Faves, Make-up & Nails

paula sesay beauty fave
I had a lot of fun creating a dramatic look with some of my beauty faves for make-up and nails. NYX has some cool illuminators if you want to add an extra glow to your skin. They’re great for brightening up your cheekbones, brow bones, nose, chin, cupid’s bow, collarbones….wherever you want to add a bit of dramatic highlight. The liquid illuminators are easy to apply and you only need a small amount for generous coverage. You can even add a bit to your legs and shoulders for a sun-kissed glow. In my picture I’m wearing this beauty fave in the Sunbeam shade.
 
I added more drama to my look with a cool eye shadow shade from theBalm. Meet Matt(e) Trimony is a great matte shade that can be worn naturally or built up for more intense color. The whole theme of theBalm eyeshadows is really cute and creative. The texture of the matte shadows is soft, smooth and applies easily. You can also use it wet to increase the intensity.
 
For a finishing touch, I added a fun beauty fave to my nails. LVX nail lacquers add a unique colorful accent to your look. I’m wearing a pretty blue shade in the color Serene. These nail lacquers have great pigment and a rich, thick consistency so you only have to apply one coat.
 
Have fun enjoying a creative look with some of my awesome beauty fave products. Pamper yourself, add some glow and pretty color with these make-up and nail treats:

Skin Care Products I’m Loving!

Skin Care for Brightening

I’ve been testing out some skin care products and just loving them! The first awesome discovery I’ve made is Farmacy’s Brightening Sheet Masks. Farmacy uses exclusively farm-grown botanicals in their beauty products. They’re a company that truly cares about providing the highest quality, all natural ingredients in their skin care products.

This experience with Farmacy’s hydrating coconut brightening gel mask was so awesome and unique because I never tried a face mask that has broccoli in it. So cool! It has purple broccoli extract in it and also Echinacea. All of the ingredients are kept so fresh in their neatly sealed packages. So convenient also for taking with you on the go.
 
It’s quite easy to apply the mask. Simply follow the instructions on the package that are outlined step by step. When I applied my first mask it was an amazing experience. It felt so cooling and soothing. The mask provided such generous, full coverage as well. It felt so silky as I smoothed it on my skin. I could definitely feel and smell the delightful, all natural ingredients.
 
It was so nice relaxing, and enjoying the soothing, cooling ingredients in this wonderful mask.

Afterward, I could immediately feel a difference in my skin. It felt so soft, hydrated and smooth. I felt as though it had been nourished, pampered and I had done a little something special to help take care of it. I’ve been enjoying continuing to use Farmacy’s masks and put in that little extra pampering time to take care of my skin.

Here are Farmacy’s skin care products so you can check them out:

Skin Care for Firming

The next skin care product I recently tested out is GlamGlow’s mud mask firming treatment. It may be a mud mask, but it’s a really cool silver color! It has a unique pearlescent type of look to it. Very fun to use! It also has nourishing all natural ingredients like Marshmallow and Licorice Leaf for toning and firming.  
 
I would advise that with this mask, you use a sparing amount. I could definitely feel the toning aspect and a bit of a tingle. I also felt as though, because it’s a mud mask, it was helping to extract any impurities in my skin. Afterward, I definitely did feel as though my skin was toned, firmed and quite smooth.
 
This mask seems like a great treatment to turn to if you would like a nice firmed, lifted, toned feeling to your skin. As well as, a good treatment if you feel you would like a good thorough cleansing to your skin, to clean deep down and extract any impurities. After using this mask, I now understand why the packaging is on the smaller side. You definitely only need a tiny amount to fully cover your face; and it’s best to be sparing due to the thorough cleansing and tingling effects. You wouldn’t want to over do it with this mask. A little goes a long way.
 
Here are GlamGlow’s skin care products for you to check them out:

Yummy Skin Care for Nourishing

A yummy skin care treat I’ve been enjoying is a lemony delicious hand and body lotion from Not Soap Radio. Not Soap Radio’s skin care products include inspiring phrases, as well as nourishing, all natural ingredients.
 
Their yummy lemony lotion definitely has that uplifting aromatherapy element their skin care products are known for. It also has soothing, softening ingredients like aloe, cucumber, green tea, sea kelp, grapefruit, sweet almond oil, bee pollen… just to name a few. It’s amazing the goodies you’ll find in their skin care products!
 
Not Soap Radio’s lemon lotion feels extremely light weight yet very nourishing and hydrating. A perfect balance. You only need a little bit for that silky, luxurious feel that leaves a radiant glow on your skin. I’m looking forward to continuing to enjoy that lemony lift and smooth silky feeling.
 
Check out Not Soap Radio’s skin care products:
I sure am having fun testing out new skin care products and treating my skin to some nice pampering. It’s great to have access to quality skin care products with all natural ingredients that are healthy for my skin, and also have delightful scents that make my relaxation time even better!
