The Skincare Products I Keep by My Bed — And Why They Matter

There’s something so comforting about ending the day with a simple ritual that’s just for you. Over the years, I’ve realized that the products I keep on my nightstand are the ones I rely on most—they’re the last step before sleep and often the first thing I reach for in the morning.

So today, I’m sharing my current nightstand skincare essentials—a mix of hydration, treatment, and tools that help me wake up feeling refreshed and glowing.

OSEA Sea Vitamin Boost
This mist is light, refreshing, and packed with sea minerals. I use it to prep my skin before anything else—it instantly makes me feel calm and cared for. It’s also great as a quick refresh during the day.


OSEA Hyaluronic Sea Serum
After misting, I layer this serum to lock in moisture. It gives my skin that plump, dewy feeling that lasts all night. It’s become a staple in my routine—especially in dry weather or after travel.


Obaggi Daily Hydro-Drops
These drops are like liquid radiance. They feel silky on the skin and are rich in antioxidants and vitamin B3. I love using this when my skin feels dull or dehydrated. It absorbs quickly and leaves a healthy, luminous glow.

Obagi Retivance Skin Rejuvenating Complex
This is my nighttime retinol—but the gentle kind. It helps smooth fine lines and even out skin tone without irritation. If you’re just getting into retinol, this is a beautiful place to start.

NuFACE Mini+ Facial Toning Device
I like to do a quick 3- to 5-minute toning session before bed. It lifts and firms, and I genuinely see a difference in the tightness of my jawline and cheeks when I’m consistent. It feels like a mini spa moment.

RoC Eye Cream
The skin around the eyes is delicate, and I never skip this step. This cream helps hydrate, smooth, and brighten. I’ve noticed it makes a difference in the way my concealer sits the next day too.

TheraFace Mist
This is my post-NuFACE treat. It’s cooling and soothing—perfect to calm the skin after using any device or just to unwind. It also feels amazing if you store it in the fridge.

Body Serum
I use this lightweight serum on my neck, chest, and hands—areas that are just as important as the face but often overlooked. It absorbs fast and leaves the skin feeling soft and nourished.

Why This Matters

Having a few trusted products by my bed creates a moment of calm at the end of the day. It’s a way to care for my skin and also wind down emotionally. No matter how busy the day gets, this little ritual reminds me to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with myself.

If you're building a routine or looking for something simple and effective, start with one or two products you love and keep them within reach. The consistency—and the intention behind it—makes all the difference.
