Step 3: Apply your serums
According to Christopher, this is also a good time to choose serums with more actives like vitamin A (i.e., retinols) that have a deeper effect on your skin while you sleep. These can make you especially photo-sensitive, so they're best for bedtime. Let them work their magic while you catch your beauty sleep.

Step 4: Select a hydrating night cream
This is the time when your skin works to repair itself from the daily life activities. It's best to choose a more hydrating formula that can fully absorb as you sleep and, as Christopher puts it, "No need to worry about looking a little shiny in bed." Your skin will thank you for it later.

Step 5: Finish with the richest eye creams and lip balms
The most often neglected areas of the face include the eyes and lips. These delicate skin areas always need the most hydration on a daily basis to stay smooth and plump. Christopher advises thinking of these products as "nighttime masks for your eyes and lips." Slather them on and wake up to softer, more hydrated pout and undereye area.
