Whats on My Nightstand- My Bedtime Skincare Routine

As a beauty blogger I have the privilege of trying out a lot of beauty products firsthand. Some of them work and some of them fail miserably, not that the product is to be blamed, it's just my skin's sensitivity and it's incompatibility with some of the product ingredients. I have seen good skin days and bad skin days too and when I say bad- I mean rashes and even hives.
Over these past few years I have tried so many makeup and skincare products that at this point I've lost count. Well, that is not what we are discussing today, we are talking about all the products that have worked for me and have eventually made it to my nightstand, where I can not do without them. I have rounded up my favorites that are a part of my bedtime routine now.
1) BLUE FLOWER ESSENTIAL OILS

Blue flower is a local Virginia based, woman-owned aroma oils company that I got to try a few months ago at an event. I wasn't a big advocate of essential oils mainly for their staining my bed and pillow covers concerns, but ever since Blue Flower came into my life- I care less about the stains and more about always having them by my bedside. I stack a myriad of blended oils and a few single oils- belly bliss and dream being my favorite. If you are someone who suffers from digestive issues, then you got to try the belly bliss. It helps alleviate your digestive issues and can be used topically or 1-2 drops in a glass of water. I like mine topical and apply a few drops to my belly area right before sleeping. It has been a game changer but remember consistency is the key. You won't see a difference overnight but regular application will surely help in the long run. Another one that happens to be everyone's favorite in my family is ' Dream.' It is a eucalyptus blend oil that calms your senses for a good night sleep. I use the Dream dropper, Riri uses the spray and hubs uses the roller.

2) AROMATHERAPY ESSENTIAL OILS HAND LOTION My obsession with essential oils doesn't end with the oil blends, it continues to my lotion as well. We all are used to moisturizing our hands after all that washing and harsh chemical exposure our hands are put to during the day. Why not take your moisturizer game to the next level with an essential oil mix. This lavender one is super hydrating and smells amazing. I would even use it on my legs on days when my body is feeling extra dry. 3) URTEKRAM ALOE VERA FOOT CREAM We all are aware of the calming goodness of aloe vera. It is one of the most popular natural pulp that has myriad healing properties. I like to use this aloe vera cream on my toes every night- it calms, moisturizes and smells good too. In winter I would wear a pair of thin knit socks over the lotion to keep the moisture locked in- no one likes cracked scaly heels after all. 4) CAUDALIE VINOSOURCE OVERNIGHT RECOVERY OIL I wasn't kidding when I said I am obsessed with essential oils. This overnight recovery oil is formulated with a blend of six, 100 percent natural plant and essential oils. This dry oil deeply nourishes, soothes sensitive skin prone to redness or irritation, and repairs the skin’s barrier. It is non-greasy andabsorbs completely. I use it right after washing my face. 5) SKINCEUTCALS FERULIC ACID This is a Vitamin C serum that I would use twice a week right before bed. I usually use it during the day but twice a week I apply it all over my face and neck right before bed and the results have been phenomenal. It helps with the discoloration and who doesn't like flawless looking skin. 6) CLINIQUE MOISTURE SURGE EYE GEL I started using this under eye gel a few weeks ago and I love how it cools and feels under eye. It is a bit liquid-y but it dries up fast and your under eye feels so good. It is for all skin types. I use it under my makeup sometimes, but mostly it is a part of my bedtime routine. You have to try it to actually feel it's amazingness.
7) DR. BRANDT HYDRO BIOTIC OVERNIGHT MASK I was never a night face mask person but thanks to my lovely mom- she insisted and now I even travel with this overnight mask. It ain't like the pasty masks, it is like your normal moisturizer that can be applied to your facial skin for overnight recovery. Waking up to smoother, softer skin is every girl's dream and this one does it all. What are your favorite products you like to have by your bedside??
