If you’re noticing that your skin is feeling a little less supple, then you should try a nighttime revolumizing skincare routine. Here are some top tips for achieving plump, youthful-looking skin.

Why our skin loses its plumpness and elasticity

• Depleting collagen levels (a natural part of aging)
• Hormonal changes
• Lack of skin hydration
• Smoking
• UV Rays
• Extreme weight loss in a short period of time

Tip #1 – Cleanse + Exfoliate Your Skin

Exfoliating Face Cloth Always cleanse your face after wearing makeup and/or sunscreen. Exfoliating helps stimulate collagen production, removes dull, dead skin + allows active ingredients to penetrate better

Tip #2 – Try Tea Bags Under the Eyes

Black Tea  Green Tea    Tea is full of antioxidants that protect the skin from free radical damage from the environment, leading to wrinkles, saggy skin, dark spots, and more. So, it makes sense that it has great healing power for thin, tired undereye skin. For a budget remedy, stick some used green tea bags in the freezer for an hour or so. Take it out when it’s cool to the touch and place them on under eye skin. The caffeine and antioxidants in the tea help boost blood circulation and moisture retention in your skin.

Tip #3 – Use Products with Anti-Wrinkle Ingredients

NIVEA Q10 Anti-Wrinkle Ultra Serum Night Recovery + NIVEA Q10 Power Anti-Wrinkle Replenishing Night Cream If you haven’t already, consider adding anti-wrinkle products to your arsenal to slow down signs of premature aging. An important ingredient to look for is Q10: A coenzyme found naturally in all body cells — vital for replenishing the skin’s moisture barrier and maximizing skin’s natural hydration. NIVEA’s Q10 Anti-Wrinkle Ultra Serum Night Recovery helps optimize your skin’s natural nighttime hydration process skin looks firmer (after 1 night). Reduce the look of even the deepest wrinkles (after 2 weeks). Always moisturize after applying serums – will mention Nivea night moisturizer. Aim to replenish and provide your skin with moisture to help the skin’s own natural nightly hydration process, when cells are most receptive.

Tip 4 – Try Facial Massaging 

Jade Roller and Gua Sha Set  A facial massage aids in cleansing your skin from the inside out by promoting lymphatic drainage. It also improves the appearance of fine lines and overall skin structure as it firms, tones, and tightens your skin. (Plus, it feels great!). Jade Rollers are gentler and easier for beginners, Gua Sha is more intense + can mention both + DIY face massage with hands if you don’t have tools

 TRACY P: Tip 5 – Prioritize Beauty Sleep

Silk Eye Mask  Scented Pillow Spray Sleep is SO important!. It helps skin cells regenerate, helps the body produce collagen, and your skin gets a break from environmental stressors like sun exposure, pollution, and blue light.
