Theresa's Winding Down Routine - With Sole Toscana
"The benefits include washing away all the dirt and grime of the day and helping me create a more peaceful mindset for sleep."
In addition to walking us through her evening skincare routine, Theresa includes some great tips on how she prepares for bed.
First, we'll start with the Sole Toscana skincare routine...
1. 2-in-1 Rosewater Cleanser and Toner
"I use two pumps and warm water" - Theresa
When cleansing and toning, Theresa mentions twice that she uses "warm water". Lukewarm water can be an important part of your routine. Hot water can increase inflammation, irritation, and strip your skin of natural oils.
Combined with lukewarm water, THE ROSEWATER WELLSPRING CLEANSER is perfect. It's not too harsh, as the all-natural and gentle ingredients hydrate and cleanse while keeping your skin's natural oils.
Once her skin is patted dry, Theresa moves on to the serum.
2. Neroli Radiance Serum
Theresa uses two little pumps of NEROLI RADIANCE SERUM to infuse her skin with antioxidants, vitamins and more.
This serum helps repair, smooth, and brighten your skin. And like so many other customers, Theresa mentions how it doesn't take much product:
"One of the things I love about the products is you only need a little bit, and it goes a long way."
She first applies a small amount to the forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin areas. Then she works it in.
Any extra that Theresa has, she works into the neck area.
3. Espresso Bright Eyes
Next, Theresa moves on to THE ESPRESSO BRIGHT EYES CREAM, which is designed specifically for the eye area.
She uses her ring fingers to apply to the outside of her eye before carefully tapping it under her eye area and sweeping her eyelid.
This eye cream is packed with nutrient-rich ingredients fresh from Italy:
-
Italian Espresso - Stimulates circulation to the eye area
-
Grapeseed Oil - Brightens skin tone and helps with inflammation or irritation
-
Rosehip - Tones and clarifies skin
-
Pomegranate Seed Oil - Helps with skin damage, building more collagen, enhancing skin elasticity, and more
-
Hyaluronic Acid (naturally derived) - Hydrates, plumps, and revitalizes skin
-
Aloe Vera - Builds more collagen than industry standards of water or oil bases (all Sole Toscana products use Aloe Vera as the base)
-
Shea Butter - Moisturizes and nourishes skin
4. Rosehip & Calendula Triple Cream
Lastly, Theresa uses the ROSEHIP & CALENDULA TRIPLE CREAM for long-lasting hydration.
Just like the serum, she puts a little bit on her forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin before working the cream into the skin. (In an upward motion.)
After finishing her Sole Toscana routine, Theresa's face feels:
"Healthy, clean and ready for bed."
Other Tips for Winding Down
In addition to her skincare routine, Theresa gives some great additional tips for winding down before bed...
She likes to dim the lights BEFORE going into the bathroom for her skincare routine. Then, when she goes to bed, the mood is already set.
Once lying down in bed, she recommends thinking about everything you are grateful for from the day. Practicing gratitude has consistently been proven to improve the quality of life.
We are confident that implementing an evening routine like this will not only help keep your skin healthy but also help your mind and body prepare for a great night's sleep.
