4 Amazing Celeb-Recommended Nighttime Routine and Skincare Tips

Last Updated on January 6, 2025

Have you ever wondered how your favorite singers and actresses keep their skin looking so healthy and clear? The secret is establishing a good nighttime routine. Dermatologists say that the evening is the best time to treat skin concerns like acne and dryness because topical products absorb better at night. So that’s why most celebs have skincare rituals that they always complete before bed. 

A good nighttime routine isn’t just about taking care of your skin, though – you should also try to make time for self-care. Whether it’s using a meditation app or drinking a warm cup of tea, many celebs do something to unwind and relieve stress at the end of their busy days. This helps them drift off faster and get some much-needed beauty sleep. 

To give you some self-care ideas and skincare tips, we’ve covered the nighttime routines of four of our favorite female celebs below. After all, if you want to achieve flawless skin, who better to get advice from than supermodels like Lindsay Ellingson and Hailey Bieber? 

Best Hidden Secrets From Celebrities Nighttime Skincare Routines!

Hailey Bieber 

Hailey Bieber is a beautiful model with equally gorgeous skin. Surprisingly, she doesn’t use many products to keep her face looking flawless. If you don’t have time for a skincare ritual with lots of steps, you’ll love her simple nighttime routine below. 

Makeup Remover

Hailey’s most important beauty rule is never to sleep in makeup. Even if she gets home from a night of partying in the wee hours of the morning, she always uses a oil or balm cleanser to start her routine!

She always finds herself going back and repurchasing the One Love Organics Vitamin B Enzyme Cleansing Oil Makeup Remover or some plain coconut oil as a makeup and impurities removal.

Cleanser 

One of Hailey’s favorite cleansers is the Squalane Cleanser by The Ordinary because she states she likes milky cleansers for her dry sensitive skin type! It has ingredients like squalene and glycerin that help hydrate her skin and give it a radiant glow.  

With the addition of the Pineapple Refresh by Rhode, it is no surprise that Hailey’s cleansing routine gravitates towards this balm-to-lather daily cleanser formulated with polyglutamic acid (aka PGA), green tea extract, and pineapple enzyme!

Toner 

Hailey uses toner pads from her dermatologist Christie Kidd right after she cleanses to keep her skin looking bright and healthy. Justin even joins in and uses them too!

Her choice of toner is glazing milk by Rhode. It’s an unscented lightweight essence that boosts barrier function and provides immediate, luminous hydration.

Serum

Hailey’s favorite nighttime peptide glazing fluid is on the pricey side if you compare it to drugstore products, but it is worth it. Plus it’s her line, so if you are her fan you will sure love it!

It has niacinamide which nourishes, brightens, and improves skin’s overall texture, and peptides that help to visibly plump and reduce the look of fine lines. Hyaluronic acid locks in hydration and replenishes cell moisture, and finally marula oil a lightweight yet rich in fatty acids that help support and soften the skin barrier. Applying it at night will also help it sink in better, giving your skin even more of this serum’s benefits. 

Moisturizer 

To lock in the moisture from her serum, Hailey follows it up with her special moisturizer from her own Rhode line. It’s a super hydrating, rich, but lightweight, cream moisturizer that restores the skin barrier.

Lip Balm 

Hailey keeps her lip care routine simple by slathering on the Rhode peptide lip treatment in the salted caramel flavor.

Sometimes she’ll even put Aquaphor on her eyebrows, lashes, and any dry spots on her face to help moisturize and soften them. It sounds weird, but it works! 

Other Nighttime Routine Essentials 

Hailey believes that getting quality sleep is one of the best things she can do for her health, so she incorporates a few products into her nighttime routine to help herself drift off quickly. As part of her nighttime routine, she applies a lotion infused with CBD all over her body to relax and unwind. Sometimes, she’ll take CBD oil or melatonin as part of her nighttime routine as well.

Hailey also includes body scan meditations in her nighttime routine using an app like Calm before bed. Lying down and directing her attention to her breath is a key part of her nighttime routine, helping her get her mind off things and promoting deep sleep.

Kylie Jenner

Kylie Jenner uses a mix of products from Kiehl’s and her own brand Kylie Skin to get the flawless visage we’ve seen in her recent Instagram selfies. Shop the products below to copy her nighttime routine and hopefully get the same clear complexion.

Makeup Remover 

Kylie begins her nighttime routine by taking off her makeup with Makeup Melting Cleanser. Gentle on the skin with a non-drying formula that cleanses while leaving the skin feeling nourished.

Cleanser 

Then Kylie heads to the sink and uses her favorite cleanser Kylie Skin Foaming Face Wash. Before she created this face wash, she did use Kiehl’s Blue Herbal Acne Cleanser! She stated that both products make her skin feel fresh without drying them out.

Toner

A lot of women skip toner, but Kylie uses it religiously – maybe that’s how she gets such flawless skin! 

She alternates between the Vanilla Milk Toner from Kylie Skin and the Rare Earth Pore Refining Tonic from Kiehl’s. They help prep her skin for serum and remove any makeup that her cleanser may have missed. 

Serum 

After toner, Kylie applies a single pump of her Vitamin C Serum or her Hyaluronic Acid Serum which is a best seller in her brand. She says it sinks into her skin immediately and helps brighten it up. 

Spot Treatment 

If she has any acne, she’ll take a cotton swab and apply a little Mario Badescu Drying Lotion on the blemish. It contains sulfur and salicylic acid to dry out your spots and get rid of them overnight. We’ve been using it for years, so we understand why Kylie loves it! 

Moisturizer 

After she does her spot treatment, she applies the Kylie Skin Moisturizer all over her face. It has shea butter and glycerin to hydrate and soften the skin, and it’s even fragrance-free. 

Eye Cream 

Finally, Kylie ends her nighttime routine with an eye cream to help prevent fine lines and wrinkles. She either uses the Kylie Skin Eye Cream or Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado, which is one of our personal favorites. It’s super hydrating and thick, so it’s great for people who suffer from dry skin under their eyes. 

Other Nighttime Routine Essentials 

To keep nighttime cravings for unhealthy foods at bay, Kylie keeps a sliced-up apple by her beside to snack on while she watches TV. 

Madelyn Cline

As stated by Elle in 2023, the glorious rise of Madelyn Cline has been notorious for sure. Given her very raw appearance in outer banks, she has been acclaimed for her natural looks and flawless skin, inspiring us and so many other women to embrace their bare faces.

Forgoing makeup allows her natural beauty and glowing complexion to shine through. If you want to get her radiant look, check out her skincare favorites below.  

Cleanser 

First Madelyn starts with a deep cleanse using the PanOxyl Acne Creamy Wash. We recommend starting with the 4% treatment if you have never used it before, and if you are planning on using it nightly.

She says she needs heavy-duty to keep her skin looking great, and this one from PanOxyl fits the bill. Recommended by dermatologists, this daily control cleanser unclogs pores to remove existing breakouts.

Toner

Next, Madelyn spritzes her face with a toner that exfoliates, cleanses, and purifies the epidermis, helping it maintain its acid pH balance. It is especially good for those prone to seborrhea and/or keratinized. We are talking about the Lotion P50 by Biologique Recherche retailing from $36 up to $138.

Serum

The next one is one of our personal favorites, and yes we do think is worth the splurge. It’s the SkinCeuticals serum C E Ferulic. Being Reader’s Choice ‘New Beauty’ 2023 winner and #1 dermatologist-recommended vitamin C serum, you can imagine why Madelyn is so crazy about this magic-in-a-bottle serum!

Moisturizer

For optimal hydration, Madelyn uses Dr. Barbara Sturm Face Cream, and states that this is her holy grail!

It’s enriched with purslane to deeply nourish the skin. Most importantly it is an anti-aging face moisturizer, that promotes skin regeneration that keeps skin hydrated and radiant for 24 hours. She also uses the Clarins Double Eye Serum as another way to combat anti-aging signs!

Lip Balm 

To finish off her nighttime routine, she’ll apply a little of the Kissu Lip Mask by Tatcha to her lips to keep them plump and moisturized. 

Other Routine Essentials 

During the day, Madelyn will always go with Dr. Barbara Sutrm Sun Drops with SPF 50 to further protect her skin from aging factors, keeping her youthful skin away from dark spots and wrinkles.

Pamela Anderson

We had to talk about Pamela Anderson and her natural beauty revolution. She has teamed with Sonsie, a vegan and cruelty-free brand to reinforce her makeup-free lifestyle that started in 2019. Thankfully she recently gave us a full ride on her skincare routine with Elle… and we are about to find out how at the age of 57, she has achieved healthy, glowy, and impeccable skin!

Cleanser 

First, Pamela goes in with the Sonsie Cleansing Mousse with a 45% multi-soothing complex, 1% ginger root extract, natural bisabolol, and a hint of rose essence, this soothing face wash was made with sensitive skin in mind.

She applies it and rubs it in for about 30 seconds before washing it off and then drying her face by pressing her skin with a towel.

Serum

Next, she follows her routine with the Sonsie Super Serum, a multifunctional blend of calming and hydration essentials that will help you achieve that glowy and dewy skincare look that Pamela is so known for. One of the main key ingredients that differentiates this serum is its 2% mountain pepper extract which has been shown to reduce the appearance of skin redness up to 30% after 30 minutes! This serum also includes 4% niacinamide which helps create that healthy appearance we all love.

Moisturizer 

Finally, she layers on the Multi Moisture Mask from Sonsie as well, which she states is more on the heavy side, giving you the ultimate moisture. So if you are into thick moisturizers, you definitely have to give this one a try!

Other Nighttime Routine Essentials 

To finish off this simple but effective routine, Pamela goes with her Basic Balm by Sonsie, which she loves because it actually stays on, unlike others in the market that need to be constantly reapplied.

Final Words…

If you don’t have the money or time to follow a multi-step skincare routine, don’t worry! You don’t have to buy a ton of skincare products to take good care of your skin. Just find a high-quality cleanser and moisturizer in your budget that works for you along with one or two relaxation methods you can enjoy every night. Incorporating these steps into your nighttime routine is a great way to simplify skincare. A nighttime routine doesn’t have to be complicated; even small, consistent actions make a big difference. Stick to your nighttime routine, and you’ll be well on your way to glowing, healthy skin!
