I always love reading what skincare products other gals use on a daily basis to keep their skin happy and their teeth healthy. I tend to have very oily, very acne-prone skin and I’ve finally found great products for my night time routine that keeps both my skin happy and my teeth white.
Let’s dive right, shall we?
What I Use for My Night Time Routine
Almay Waterproof Gentle Eye Makeup Remover – $6.90, Wal-Mart – Maybe I’m an odd ball, but I always start my night time routine by removing my eye makeup. I change up what I use frequently, but find that I am always returning to this remover from Almay. It doesn’t sting my eyes and it works really well at removing waterproof mascara.
The Body Shop Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil – $18 – I am a huge fan of using cleansing oils to remove my face makeup. It’s really gentle (unlike makeup remover wipes) and the oil is great for your skin, too. I’ve used cheaper brands, but I’ve been enjoying this one a lot! While it is more expensive, it lasts forever! (Okay, maybe not forever….but you only need one pump for your whole face. I think I’m going on 5 months with this bottle, and it’s still not empty!)
Olay Foaming Face Wash, Sensitive – $3.99, Wal-Mart – Next up, I like to wash my face with this facial soap after I’ve rinsed off the cleansing oil. It just ensures that all the makeup and oil is washed off my face. And it’s super gentle, too, as the name implies!
Mario Badescu Aloe Vera Toner – $15 – I always finish up removing and washing my face with a gentle toner. This one is the bomb.com! It’s very good for your skin, very gentle, and I find that it helps balance my skin after all the washing I just put it through. 🙂
Acne Medication – I didn’t include pictures of this, because they’re prescribed by my doctor. But this is the time I’ll apply the medication that helps keep my acne under control.
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water, Gel – $12.65, Wal-Mart – I mentioned this product in last weeks post, but I’ve been loving using this water gel to moisturize my face. While I have oily skin, I don’t find that this clogs my pores or makes my skin more oily. It leaves my skin feeling very plump and soft, which is exactly what I’m going for in a moisturizer!
Softlips Cube 5-in-1 Lip Care – $2.97, Wal-Mart – This is my favorite lip balm! It smells and tastes amazing and I find that I’m always applying some to my lips whenever I go into my bathroom.
Tom’s of Maine® Simply White® Clean Mint Cavity Protection Toothpaste – $4.25, Wal-Mart – Lastly, I finish off by cleaning my pearly whites! 😉 Recently I’ve gone back to using this toothpaste from the Tom’s of Maine® line. I used to use them all the time before I got married — it was the toothpaste my Mom would buy. And I’m glad I’m back to using them! They don’t taste any different or ‘weird’ for being natural and better for you, and you can find them right on your local Wal-Mart shelves, too, so it’s convent and you can get it for less!
My husband and I have been switching our lifestyle recently to go for more natural, organic foods and products. It’s not only better for our bodies, but it also helps us feel better, more awake, and we have more energy. So making the switch from our old toothpaste to Tom’s of Maine® toothpaste was a natural progression for us. Their products don’t contain artificial colors, flavors, fragrances, preservatives, or animal ingredients. And! They don’t test on animal. 🙂
See? Such a cute little fur ball, right?!
I’m planning to try out the Tom’s of Maine® mouth wash once we’ve finished up the bottle we currently have, and — I never knew this — but they also sell deodorants and bars of soaps! Oh, and as you can see from the main picture, they also sell toothpaste especially designed for children with fun flavors. 🙂
If you want to learn more about the Tom’s of Maine® brand and what they stand for, be sure to check out their website, www.exploretomsofmaine.com! In the meantime, I’d love to hear what toothpaste or makeup remover is a must-have for your night time routine!

I’ve heard so many people talking about that cleanser from the body shop. When I’ve used up the mountain that I already have, I definitely think I’m going to try it! xxx
Katie Garvin says
I’ve been loving it! I am getting low, and want to just repurchase the same thing (why stop a good thing, right?!) but the beauty blogger in me says I should probably try something else and see if it’s comparable, lol.
Amanda says
Yes try something different..see about the travel size in what you are looking..for but just in case you like the switch..see about a larger size..or you can get the smaller ones what ever works in your budget
Katie G says
Very true, that’s a great idea to use travel sizes to try new cleansers 😀
Christine says
I’ve tried the Chamomile cleansing Balm, But not the oil! I’ll have to add that one to my list because I really like the balm a lot!
Katie Garvin says
I haven’t tried the balm, I’m just a big fan of using oils to remove my makeup. It’s always really gentle and gets all my makeup off easily 🙂
Sammi the Beauty Buff says
I’ve been meaning to get into cleansing oils. Right now I’m all about micellar waters. Dr. Jart+ is my fave! I’m not really picky when it comes to toothpaste. Just good ol’ Crest works for me (especially when it’s on sale)!
Katie Garvin says
I tried micellar waters, but couldn’t really get into it. I felt like I had to use too many facial rounds to get all my makeup off. But that’s just me 🙂
Julie says
That little lippie cube looks so cute! I have never tried Toms, but I love what the company stands for! I’m all about natural products!
Katie Garvin says
I LOVE the soft lips cubes — I own way too many 😛 but I put them everywhere: purse, bathroom, vanity. They smell so amazing!
Jamie Lewis | Makeup Life and Love says
OMG literally everything in this post I need! I love my TOMs toothpaste for sure and right now I am addicted to Neutrogena Hydro Boost moisturizer! It smells sooooooooo good!!! Great nighttime ritual!
Katie Garvin says
Yes, the moisturizer does smell amazing, I love it! 🙂
Renu says
I love seeing what people use in their routines as well! What acne medication are you using? The Softlips cube has been on my want-to-try list for a while lol.
Katie Garvin says
I’m actually using a prescription from my doctor that is safe to use while pregnant — one is erythromycin and the other is azelaic acid cream.
Ohh, if you’re going to get a Softlips cube, look for the holiday limited edition Hello Kitty ones. I hear they’re starting to pop up and they have fun flavors!
Rachel says
I love the smell of the Chamomile Cleanser though I have never used it x
Katie Garvin says
It does smell really nice!
Kristina says
What a nice looking routine! I like using natural body care products too. Like Christine, I also have the Body Shop cleansing balm and I love it!
Katie Garvin says
Maybe I’ll have to try the cleansing balm next, then! 🙂
Lisa says
I love cleansing oils (I use Julep’s). I haven’t tried the Body shop version yet, but it sounds quite nice so next time I’m there I may just grab it.
Katie Garvin says
I grabbed it originally when it was on sale (20% off, I think), which is always a fabulous bonus 😉
Stacie says
I need to go toward more natural and organic as well. I take off my eye makeup first too, so I don’t think you’re weird. I like the products that you use. I’ve tried Tom’s deodorant but not the toothpaste. I might pick some up when I run out of my current tube. Thanks for sharing your routine. I always find it interesting to see what other people use.
Katie Garvin says
Oh good, someone else who does it, too! 🙂 I’m not alone! 🙂
Tess says
I’ve been wanting to try The Body Shop Cleansing Oil, once I finish my current one I think I’ll try it.
Katie Garvin says
I hope you like it when you pick it up! 😀
Jess says
I love the Camomile Cleansing Oil, I really need to get a new bottle – my last one lasted about six months I think!
Jess xo
Katie Garvin says
I know, it lasts forever, which is awesome! I know it’s pricier than other drugstore makeup removers, but when it lasts 10 times longer, it isn’t all that pricey 🙂
Alice says
The BS Camomille Cleansing Oil is my holy grail makeup remover!! I’d love to try the Mario Badescu toner, they have such amazing skincare!
xo
Katie Garvin says
I know, I haven’t tried many products from Mario Badescu, but this toner is the bomb! Nice and gentle, feels great on the skin, and gets the job done 🙂
Carrie @huppiemama says
Thanks for sharing your night-time routine. I am so NOT this organized, but I think you may have inspired me to add in a few extra steps to take care of my hygiene needs. Thanks! #client
Katie Garvin says
My night time routine is my time at night to start to relax and prep for bed, so I like to take my time and give my skin and mouth some love. 🙂
Jiawun says
The Body Shop Camomile Cleanser sounds so amazing, and that Softlips cube is to die for! Great routine xx
Katie Garvin says
Yes, they are! Thanks Jiawun!
Esha says
I loved reading about your routine and you’ve got me all intrigued about that Neutrogena gel. Haven’t seen it here though.
Katie Garvin says
Oh, do give the Neutrogena gel a try, I love it! 😀
