My Evening Ritual for Radiant Skin and Restful Sleep

As someone who rises at 4 AM to hit the gym, my evenings are sacred. I treasure this time to unwind, nourish my skin, and prepare my mind and body for restful sleep. My evening routine for radiant skin is not just a habit—it’s a ritual that sets the tone for my entire day. Here’s how I relax and care for my skin each evening:

5:00 PM: Early dinner and winding down

I always eat dinner early, around 5 PM. This allows my body enough time to digest before bed, ensuring I wake up feeling light and energized. By 5:30 PM, I’m ready for the highlight of my evening: my bath.

5:30 PM: Preparing my skin with La Crème Cleanser

Before stepping into my bath, I always cleanse my face with La Crème Cleanser. This gentle yet effective cleanser is enriched with nourishing ingredients that not only remove impurities but also hydrate and soothe the skin. Key benefits include:

• Deep Hydration: Leaves the skin soft, radiant and moisturized without stripping its natural barrier.

• Gentle Exfoliation: Helps slough off dead skin cells for a brighter complexion.

This cleansing step ensures my skin is fresh and ready to absorb the benefits of the next steps in my routine.

5:35 PM: The magic of a warm bath

Stepping into a warm bath is my favorite moment of the day. It’s my sanctuary—a space to let go of the day’s stress, unwind, and simply breathe. I always add my own milky bath mix, which I’ve carefully formulated with skin and relaxation benefits in mind:

• Magnesium: Promotes muscle relaxation and enhances sleep quality.

• CBD: Calms the body and mind, reducing stress.

• Coconut Milk Powder: Hydrates and nourishes the skin, leaving it soft and supple.

• Lavender Essential Oil: Relieves stress and promotes a deep sense of calm.

• Bergamot Essential Oil: Soothes the mind while balancing and brightening the skin.

• Sandalwood Essential Oil: Hydrates dry skin and helps reduce inflammation, while its grounding scent is deeply relaxing.

When I notice my facial skin feels a bit drier than usual, I apply a thick layer of La Crème Cleanser as a mask while I soak. This gentle yet effective formula provides light exfoliation and deep hydration. I let it sit for about 20 minutes before rinsing it off, leaving my skin feeling incredibly soft, smooth, and nourished.

I take a snack or dessert with me—often a piece of fruit or a homemade protein snack with a touch of chocolate—and my favorite cup of tea. My guilty pleasure? Watching The Real Housewives. It’s my little escape while I soak for about an hour.

6:30 PM: Skincare meets self-care

After my bath, my skin feels hydrated and ready for deeper nourishment. This is when I apply my La Prickly Pear Seed Oil, a luxurious and nutrient-rich oil that has become a staple in my routine. This lightweight yet potent oil is packed with:

• Vitamin E: A powerful antioxidant that protects against free radical damage.

• Essential Fatty Acids: These deeply hydrate the skin, reducing dryness and promoting elasticity.

• Linoleic Acid: Known to balance sebum production and calm irritated skin.

La Prickly Pear Seed Oil leaves my skin feeling incredibly soft, supple, and glowing. Depending on my mood, I’ll either:

• Do HIIT facial exercises to tone and sculpt my face.

• Use the cupping set from The Ultimate Glow Set to improve circulation and boost collagen.

• Perform a gua sha massage from Moonie by Mila to relieve tension and enhance lymphatic drainage.

These practices are not only great for my skin but also incredibly relaxing.

7:00 PM: Preparing for restful sleep

By this time, I’m completely relaxed and ready to transition to bedtime. Occasionally, I’ll take a sleep gummy to ensure I drift off easily. After brushing my teeth and getting into bed, I apply face tape from Moonie by Mila to smooth fine lines overnight and use mouth tape to promote nasal breathing, which enhances my sleep quality.

One last step before I close my eyes is to nourish my lips with a generous layer of my new lip balm. This rich, hydrating formula ensures my lips stay soft and well-moisturized throughout the night, so I wake up with smooth, supple lips every morning.

Before I drift off, I watch 10 minutes of a series. As the final touch, I put on my sleep mask—a small but essential signal to my body that it’s time to rest.

Why this routine matters

This routine is my way of caring for both my skin and my well-being. Each step helps me feel more centered, relaxed, and prepared for the next day. My early mornings demand focus and energy, and this evening ritual ensures I start each day refreshed and ready to take on anything.
