“My suggestions before going to bed would just be to take care of yourself,” Rivera said. “Find a routine that works for you.”  

 

Wash Your Face

 

The Importance of washing the face is critical. Rivera explained that readers should let their skin breathe from a days worth of absorb residue and dirt or pollution from their surroundings.

 

“Before going to bed it is important wash your face,” Rivera said. “You don’t want to clog your pores overnight and you don’t want to spread any of that dirt or makeup on the pillows that your face will be buried in all night.”

 

Rivera explained that the skin around an individual’s eye is an area where dirt can collect due to it’s thinness of skin.

 

“it is important to always wash off that eyeliner and mascara because you don’t want anything to lay on that skin overnight, this can cause infections and stds,” Rivera said.

 

For a much cleaner process, make sure to use makeup remover.

 

Forever Young

 

Even if you don’t have them. Don’t wait for them, to treat them.

 

Prevent wrinkles by providing your skin with collagen. Anti wrinkle cream or serum is a great way to rejuvenate and to keep the skin supple.

 

Anti wrinkle cream or serum, contain collagen which is a protein made up of amino acids.These amino acid – which are in turn built of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen, help build stronger and fine lines skin.

 

Apply your anti wrinkle product after washing the face, for a more effective result of younger and cleanlier looking skin.

Polished Nails

Are those cuticles looking dull? Try perking them up with some extra virgin olive oil.

 

High quality extra virgin olive oil, provides a high content of antioxidants, like polyphenols, vitamins E & K. These natural benefits will brighten up and shine the nails.

 

Apply a quality amount of the oil towards a nail in a circular motion. Buff the nail with a cotton swab and let the product dry overnight.

 

Hair

 

When it comes to taking care the hair, there are many remedies readers should be aware about before sleeping

 

River suggested that individuals should never want to sleep with your hair tied or in a bun.

“Ponytails and buns actually tear the hair that’s why you never want to leave it tied overnight or have it tied if it’s wet,” Rivera said.

 

If dry hair is a particular problem, Rivera advised individuals on adding their favorite type of hair moisturizer.

 

“Cotton pillows tend to strip hair of their natural moisture and cause frizz,” Rivera said. “Another suggestion would be to switch to satin pillows or get a satin cap to sleep in at night.”

River suggests that readers  consider twisting, braiding, even adding pincurls for an easy, ready to go hair style.

 

Skin
