Perfect nighttime routine for oily skin, get rid of blackheads, cleanse pores and get instantly smoother skin with charcoal cleansers by Rachael Burgess.

Today I thought it would be fun to share with you all my nighttime skin care routine. All these pregnancy hormones have been causing oily skin and outbreaks. I have had to become a lot more thoughtful about the care I put into my skin. I don’t know if you remember, but a few months ago I talked about the benefits of activated charcoal and why I LOVE using an activated charcoal toothbrush. Recently I have been applying these same principles to my skin care and it has been working wonders. Charcoal is extremely pure and known for its ability to draw out dirt, oil and impurities. I have been using the products from the Bioré Charcoal line and I love the results. My skin feels and looks better after just one day of this routine, so I am hooked. On to my routine.

Step 1: Cleanse

The first thing I do is cleanse my skin, this is especially important if I am wearing a lot of makeup that day. I use Bioré Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser. Like all products in the Bioré Charcoal line it is oil free, so it is great for every day use. It is gentle on your skin so you can use it every day. It is infused with Japanese Skin Purifying Technology, which means it gives you results after just one use!

Step 2: Exfoliate

For this step I use the Bioré Pore Penetrating Charcoal Bar, it contains scrubbing jojoba beads that exfoliate deeper into your pores than a regular cleanser. Since the Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser gets everything on the surface, the Pore Penetrating Charcoal Bar is able to be even more effective. I usually have oily skin when I wake up in the morning, but since this gets so deep into my pores and pulls out oil and dirt, my skin is significantly less oily when I get up in the morning.

Step 3: Spot Treatment

There are certain spots on my skin where the pores are more noticeable than other areas, like my nose for instance! These areas of my skin are more prone to pimples and breakouts, so I use the Bioré Charcoal Pore Minimizer to target these areas. This formula works to visibly reduce the size of pores, which keeps your skin cleaner. In just 30 seconds the polishing micro-crystals in this product diminish the appearance of pores. After step 1 and 2 I don’t feel the need to apply this to my whole face, so I just us it on the problem areas.

Once A Week: Mud Mask

I only do this step once a week and it is literally my FAVORITE part of the week. Until recently I didn’t even know what a self-heating face mask was, and now I feel sad that I lived so long without experiencing one! I use the Bioré Self Heating One Minute Mask, this masks heats up instantly upon contact with pores. It is the coolest sensation when you put it on your face. While most masks take about ten minutes, this mask cleanses impurities 2.5 times better than a basic cleanser in just ONE minute. I always want to leave it on longer though since it feels SO good. My skin has a minty fresh feel for almost an hour after I rinse it off and I instantly notice my skin is softer. Although this isn’t advertised on the box, I have noticed that my complexion is much more even after the Bioré Self Heating One Minute Mask and I don’t have to use as much foundation on my skin the next day.

And just for fun I thought I would share with you my makeup look of the day. This is how I get the look I started out with at the beginning of the post. I have watched SO many YouTube tutorials that go into such detail with contouring and I have literally spent hours painting my face with different shades to get the perfect contour look on multiple occasions. Nothing makes me as happy as my one minute easy contour that I figured out myself though.

Easy one minute contour look by Rachael Burgess.

ONE: apply liquid foundation all over face. TWO: lightly dust darker contouring powder under the cheek bones, blend with a brush in small circles upwards NOT down. Dust the contour powder gently along the sides of your nose and top of your forehead as well. THREE: apply a finishing powder all over skin to blend the contour. If desired add some blush! That is it. I use this look every day!

All the Bioré Charcoal products are available at Walmart. I found them in the skin care aisle right next to makeup. If you have oily skin like me or just want to bring your skin care up a level try out my routine and let me know what you think in the comments. I always feel rejuvenated after the Self Heating One Minute Mask, almost like I just took a quick trip to the spa. This is the perfect way to unwind and relax at the end of a long day. In my experience I am able to work harder and be more effective in my daily life when I take time to spoil and pamper myself just a little bit every day!

  1. My problem area is the blackheads on my nose. I tried their deep cleansing nose strips and it doesn’t work for my skin. I tried DIY- the one with toothpaste, eggs, but nothing seems to work instead damage and just left my nose red and dry. Someone had told me about going to a salon and have them remove it.

    1. You should try the Charcoal Pore Minimizer and the mask as well! I have the same problem as you and have never found a product that works as well and quickly, I am kind of obsessed ;). Good luck!
