Pre-Bed Prep!

Oh for the simple life of just jumping into bed no prepping yourself from head to toe (quite literally) what high maintenance..!

But, these things have to be done! So this post is a run through of my before-bed routine.

In my previous post of My Skincare Routine I posted the products I use such as cleanser & moisturizer so moving on from that side these are the other products I use scattered across the body!

Soap & Glory's Hand Food: I love this hand cream! It's not too heavy but I'm a bit forgetful when it comes to applying hand cream throughout the day so I'm more of a smother it on before bed kinda girl and this works a treat, dry hands isn't something I necessarily suffer from but it's something I'd rather avoid.. (prevention is better than cure!) 

Nivea Creme: Once upon a time I tried this as a face moisturizer and it just didn't suit my skin type whatsoever so instead of letting the lovely rich creme go to waste.. Where else on my body do I suffer from much drier skin? Heels of my feet! I find this the perfect foot cream. More smothering, I dollop onto the soles and heels of my feet and sleep in a pair of old socks and wake up in the morning, voila! Super soft tootsies!

Lip Balm: Quite self explanatory, I haven't written brand name etc here as this is simply and old one that I just loved the packaging of and can't for the life of me remember where this was purchased! However, I'm just powering my way through a mass of lip balms at the moment so whichever I grab first. 

(Also before bed sometimes, not every night, I like to exfoliate my lips by using a toothbrush! I've tried scrubs etc and sometimes use a home made one *future post alert* but after a gentle brush over the lips I find this works just as well!) 

LVL Eyelash Conditioning Serum: This eyelash serum is by Nouveau Lashes and after using false eyelashes on/off for several years I try to keep my eyelashes in good condition and I do love this serum! This really thickens, strengthens and lengthens the lashes but you must be persistent when using it. It works best after Nouveau's LVL Treatment (Length, Volume & Lift) but even for regular use it's also great. 

Teeth Whitening: After recently purchasing the trays and solutions from my dentist for Teeth Whitening I'm now in the process of lightening my teeth so before bed I syringe the solution into the trays, pop them in like a funky looking gum shield and sleep in the solution. I'm noticing a difference but it's such a build-able treatment so I'll keep going until I achieve the desired (yet au-natural) look!   

And of course after all this is FINALLY done, I can snuggle up into bed with my iPad and catch up on my BlogLovin' & Twitter feed.. (Of course!) 

Then after I can finally tear myself away from the blogger world I pop on an eye mask (cannot sleep without at the moment!) and off to the land of nod to hopefully, after all this prep, wake up like a new woman! (still hasn't quite happened yet, still waiting..) 

What do you guys do before bed? More prep? Not bother? Let me know!
