how long does your nighttime routine take?
Permalink Closed

Just curious. If I do everything I'm supposed to, it seems like it could take 20 minutes to get ready for bed. Not such a big deal now that I'm single, but when I was with ex-BF he'd get really impatient because we'd head up for bed but wouldn't actually get to sleep for a long time. I can't figure out if I'm normal or taking a really long time. I can't think of anything I could eliminate, though. Right now I:

-brush hair
-brush teeth, floss, use mouthwash
-wash face, use face mask 2x week
-tweeze brows
-putting on lotion
-use eye cream
-whatever other random thing I come up with

Do you tweeze your brows nightly? I wish I had your discipline!

I think it's pretty standard. I do all that (except the brow tweezing). I'm pretty obsessive about moisturizing my feet, especially in the winter months.

A tip from my friend the dentist: Always floss before you brush.

It probably takes me 10-15 minutes or so. 

  • brush/floss teeth/use mouthwash
  • wash face/remove makeup (at night I use Olay Daily Facials)
  • apply acne gel
  • moisturize face and apply eye cream

I save the face masks and any other treatments that take time for the weekends.

I don't tweeze my brows often since I get them threaded at an Indian place every month or so. When I do tweeze, it's in the morning after I shower since the hair comes out more easily.

Admittedly, I do not always brush my hair. It's because my hair never gets tangled and I'm too lazy. ashamed

I always get caught up in a random chin hair or a clogged pore...so it ends up taking longer than it should. I've never timed it.

Wash face
Sometimes apply treatment creme (like night cream or wrinkle cream)
Moisturize
brush teeth

Short list.

Wow. I do all the things you girls do and it only takes me about 5 minutes. Admittedly, sometimes I'm a bit lazy about flossing as often as I should. Oops.

Take out contacts/switch glasses, depending on what I wore that day
Wash face with cetaphil
tone (3x week - I have really dry skin)
moisturize
brush/floss/etc.

My routine takes about 10 minutes.

Brush and floss
Take contacts out
Wash face
Moisturize
Take vitamins and pills

I'm more of a morning person (sick, I know) so when I'm ready for bed, I just want to get into bed and not screw around with all the other stuff, like plucking eyebrows and showering, so I do that in the a.m.

Uhoh, I don't spend very much time on a beauty regime! My nighttime routine consists of:

washing face
brushing teeth
putting on acne cream

If I haven't already done so, I take out my contacts. This takes at most 5 minutes, but often more like three!

Er, let's see:

wet washcloth and swipe across face: 30 sec?
put retin-a on face and shea butter on lips: 20 sec?
maybe floss and pee?

Probably under 2 minutes. Definitely under 5.

Less than 5 minutes-

- Wash face, usually with one of those prepackaged cloths
- Moisturize, eye cream
- Floss, brush

I'm too tired at night to do much more. I do shower sometimes at night if I want to blowout my hair and keep it straight for a few days, but that's only once in a while, when I'm feeling inspired.

Mine is about 5 minutes and I still think it takes too long. I think it's because I'm usually exhausted by the time I get to bed (esp these days since I'm working right up to bedtime).
- brush teeth
- floss
- wash face
- mouthwash
- toner
- moisturize face and eyecream
- vaseline on lips and origins peace of mind behind ears

Time for bed... goodnight!
