Community Wisdom: Evening Rituals

At Skin + Me, there’s nothing we love more than hearing and sharing your personal skincare journeys to grow our community and embrace each and every one of your unique individualities!

This week, we asked our Facebook community, The Skin + Me Collective, ‘what do you do in the ten minutes between applying your Daily Doser and moisturiser?’ and today, we’re sharing the results…

Cath: I try and do jobs that I’ve been putting off making excuses not to do as I’m tired most days! So, a bit of hoovering or the washing up – basically any household chores.

Carly: Brush my teeth and pray the baby doesn’t wake up before I get a chance to moisturise!

Sâin: Try not to fall asleep!

Becky: I tell myself I’ll get things done and then I scroll on Instagram for about 30 minutes before I remember I haven’t moisturised yet…

Jayne: I have a cuppa and read a chapter of my book.

Frida: I skip the 10-minute wait as I feel my skin dries out during that time. Also, with two young kids, I never seem to have enough time!

Bonnie: Undress, sort clothes out, clean teeth, remove any stray moose hairs…

Emily: Either dance around to Bruce Springsteen playing on Alexa or try to stay awake – depends on what type of day!

Stacey: Try to avoid my kids…

Rhian: Obviously squeezing a cuppa and sweet treat in there somewhere.

Mar: I put my solution on in the ad breaks between Love Island so, basically, I just watch ten minutes of Love Island!

Tamsyn: I usually eat a bar of chocolate…

Sophie: I put my Skin & Me on after my second cleanse right before bed, then brush my teeth and then potter about for 5 minutes before applying moisturiser.

Didde: I don’t apply moisturiser, just hop straight to bed like a rebel.

Shelley: Normally some sort of cleaning, tidying or general faffing in the house.

Rebecca: I put my cuticle oil on, then some cotton gloves and socks, then lay on my bed and listen to a mindfulness video. It really helps me to unwind and has helped me to look after my cuticles better as I pair the two activities together!

Jorgie: I pray to the Skin gods.
