Natural Nightly Skincare Routine

4 Step Natural Nighttime Skincare Routine

After a long day, our skin goes through so much. It’s exposed to all kinds of elements—pollution, dirt, sweat, makeup, you name it. By the time the sun sets, your skin is likely left feeling dry, tired, and in need of some serious TLC. That’s why a nightly skincare routine is essential. It’s your chance to cleanse away the day’s impurities, nourish your skin, and prepare it for rest and rejuvenation.

At Friendly Soap, we believe that what you put on your skin matters. That’s why we’re passionate about natural skincare that’s kind to your body and the planet. So, if you're ready to refresh and rejuvenate your skin before bed, here’s our guide to a simple, effective natural nighttime skincare routine using our plastic free, vegan and handmade skincare products.

Step 1: Gently Remove Makeup

If you wear makeup, the first step is to gently remove it with our reusable cleansing pads and warm water. Unlike disposable wipes that contribute to landfill waste, our sustainable cleansing pads are made from natural cellulose and are designed to be durable, soft, and reusable time and time again. As they are made from natural plant-based cellulose, you can also rest assured that they’re kind to both your skin and the environment.

 

Simply dampen the eco-friendly cleansing pad with a little water and gently wipe away the makeup. The soft texture of the pad ensures that even the most sensitive skin is treated with care, leaving your face clean and ready for the next step.

Step 2: Cleanse your skin

Once your makeup is off, it’s time to cleanse your skin thoroughly. Our natural cleansing bars are perfect for this step, and you can choose between two varieties: the Cocoa Cleansing Bar and our award winning Shea Butter Cleansing Bar.

Again take your cleansing pad and add a little water, then apply the cleansing bar until you get a rich, creamy lather. Gently massage the lather into your skin using the pad in small circular motions, focusing on areas where dirt and impurities tend to linger.

Both our Cocoa and Shea Butter Cleansing Bars are packed with nourishing benefits:

Cocoa: Rich in antioxidants and deeply moisturising, cocoa helps to protect your skin from environmental stressors while keeping it soft and supple.

Shea Butter: Renowned for its hydrating and soothing properties, shea butter is perfect for calming irritated skin and providing a gentle cleanse without stripping your skin of its natural oils.

These plant based cleansing bars are handmade in the UK with only four plant-based ingredients, making them a simple yet effective choice for all skin types, even the most sensitive.

Step 3: Rinse and Refresh

After cleansing, it’s important to rinse your face thoroughly with warm water to remove any remaining lather and impurities. Take a moment to pat your skin dry with a soft towel, feeling the difference in how clean and refreshed your face feels.

Step 4: Wash with Our Lavender Natural Soap Bar

Now, it’s time to indulge in a little self-care with our Lavender Natural Soap Bar. Not only is this natural soap bar incredibly gentle on your skin, but it also harnesses the soothing and relaxing properties of lavender. Lavender has been used for centuries to promote relaxation and improve sleep, making it the perfect companion for your nighttime routine.

As you wash your face with our natural lavender soap, breathe in the calming scent and feel the stress of the day melt away. Your skin will be left feeling clean, soft, and ready for a good night’s sleep.

The Importance of a Good Nightly Skincare Routine

Your nighttime skincare routine is more than just a way to clean your skin; it’s an act of self-care that allows you to unwind and prepare for the next day.

At Friendly Soap, everything we do is handmade with care, free from plastic, cruelty, and harmful chemicals like SLS and parabens. We believe that simple, natural ingredients can make a big difference—for your skin, for animals, and for the environment.

So, as you wind down for the night, remember to treat your skin with the love and care it deserves. You’ll wake up feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and ready to face the day ahead, all while knowing you’ve made a choice that’s friendly to your skin and the planet.
