Finding a personalized skin-care routine that targets your skin’s specific concerns can be a challenge, especially if they include signs of aging. It seems like every skin-care product on the market boasts “reduced fine lines and wrinkles,” but does that mean that you need to use every moisturizer, cleanser, serum, toner, essence, eye cream (deep inhale) or  face mask that claims to do so? Not necessarily. You can still combat loss of elasticity and get healthier-looking skin by adding just a couple of core products into your everyday regimen. Sound too good to be true? Keep reading for a simple five-step nighttime routine that can help give you more youthful-looking skin by morning. STEP 1: Remove Your Makeup The first step of any evening skin-care routine should be to remove your makeup from the day. Tackle even the most stubborn face makeup using the Lancôme Bi-facil Face Makeup Remover, which cleanses the face and leaves the skin feeling soft and refreshed. STEP 2: CleanseProperly cleansing your skin post-makeup removal should be a natural next step in your nighttime routine already. To help combat signs of aging, you’re going to want to swap out your regular cleanser for the SkinCeuticals Glycolic Renewal Cleanser. This daily exfoliating cleansing gel targets dullness, rough skin and removes impurities. Not to mention, the inclusion of glycolic acid promotes cellular turnover for a clearer and overall brighter-looking complexion. STEP 3: Use an EssenceAdding an essence into your routine is important because it helps to prep and prime the skin for your serums and moisturizers that will follow. Opt for an essence that works double-duty and also combats signs of aging. One example? The Kiehl’s Iris Extract Activating Treatment Essence. It’s an anti-aging facial essence that helps smooth skin texture, reduce fine lines and boost radiance all while preparing your skin for the next step. STEP 4: Use a Serum The key to youthful-looking skin is hydration. While using a daily moisturizer is a good start, you should consider adding an anti-aging serum to give you that extra layer of moisture. The Lancôme Advanced Génifique Youth Activating Serum is a great option because it’s fast-acting and helps improve your skin’s radiance, tone, elasticity, smoothness and firmness.  STEP 5: MoisturizeFinish off your routine with an anti-aging moisturizer. One of our favorites is the SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 Moisturizer that consists of 2% pure ceramides, 4% natural cholesterol and 2% fatty acids. These ingredients are proven to nourish skin and help correct signs of aging. After every use, you’ll notice your skin looks more even, full and radiant. Read More: 5 Skin-Care Ingredients You Shouldn’t Use During the DayThe Best Eye Cream Ingredients to Target Your Skin ConcernsBreakouts and Acne Around Your Mouth?
