A short night routine for skin that feels tight
The best routine is the one still happening in six weeks. This is three steps and it is short on purpose.
One, take the day off
A gentle cleanser and lukewarm water. Hot water and a scrub both leave skin feeling tighter, which is the thing you are trying to fix.
Two, put water back
A light humectant serum onto skin while it is still slightly damp, if you can manage the timing. This is the step doing most of the work.
Three, seal it
A moisturiser over the top if your skin is on the dry side. If it is not, you can skip it and see how the morning feels.
