In this video I’m sharing my current everyday winter evening skincare routine after 50 — and I’m saying it upfront: I’m a skincare maximalist, and this is not for everyone. For me, evening skincare is a ritual I genuinely enjoy, and every step has a purpose for my dry, dehydrated winter skin. Nighttime is all about slowing down, recovery and repair, plus it’s when I use my devices because I simply can’t fit them in before work. I start with a proper cleanse that removes sunscreen, makeup and the day without stripping my barrier. If I’m wearing makeup, I do a quick micellar step first (I hate raccoon eyes), then I double cleanse — non-negotiable for me. After cleansing, I go into devices: I’m testing the Growband Pro for menopause-related temple thinning, and the Nebulyft R1 radiofrequency device for long-term firmness (jawline, jowls, chin… and now cheeks because it’s so easy to use). From there it’s hydration, peptides and skin quality: my Maysama mist, targeted Argireline, NIOD FECC for that crepey under-eye texture I despise, then peptide serums I rely on. The macdaddy step is my Sachi retinal (retinaldehyde) — the one product I’d keep if I had to cut everything else. And because winter skin needs more than “fine,” I finish with Bloom Effects Royal Tulip Nectar or their Vitamin C oil for comfort, resilience and that sealed-in, glossy overnight recovery. If I need it, I’ll “slug” with Prequel under the eyes (or all over), and I always finish with my True Botanicals overnight lip treatment at the bedside.
