Phan reveals that it was in her late twenties when her skin started feeling different and her skincare products were starting to feel"too harsh" for her skin so she started focusing more on skincare and less on piling on the makeup.
"I truly believe it's really sunscreen that has helped slow down aging for me" Michelle Phan says. After prioritizing in a good skincare regimen, she reveals she stopped using foundation as a "security blanket" and instead began exfoliating more to help the skin turnover rate which decreases as we age.
Michelle explains why skincare is important to her and says, "hopefully it inspires you guys to invest more on your skincare because I truly believe skincare is a great form of self care and we need more love and we need more self care for ourselves."
Let's delve right into her entire nighttime skincare routine!

When cleansing her face, she reveals she uses the "double cleanse" method.
"It just melts your makeup without drying out your skin, it doesn't irritate it, it's not as harsh and this method, I believe came from Korea."
"It's part of the double cleanse method. It doesn't feel like a normal cleanser, it has this jelly like substance feeling ... you can tell right away how it's so gentle, there's no stinging, it never strips any essential oils away from my face."
"Essence helps preps the skin to absorb hydration better. So I'm just gonna soak my pad in just like what I just did and just press it on your face .... try not to forget your neck, I know it's kind of an afterthought for most people but it's true, the first signs of aging actually does appear on your neck."
"This is a cult favorite. It's really popular in Europe and a lot of my skincare junkie friends swear by this. The problem is that it's a little too strong for my skin - my skin is still considered young. This was made more for mature skin. What I do is I dilute it first, so I take my cotton pad and I add a little bit of water in it to dilute the solution."
She then adds a few drops of the lotion and pats over face.
"This is a good preventive product to help with any signs of large pores, sun spots or age spots - it just helps refines the skin."
"All the active ingredients are in here so you want to snap it like a pill, like a capsule, so all the ingredients are running down right now and you just want to go in and kind of smoosh it all around. The reason why I like the active ingredients are separated is that you just get fresh sheet mask every time."
"It's such a hydrating (mask), just look at how bouncy it is - it's a beautiful texture. I just love applying this on my face it just feels like liquid silk, just sweep it all over your face. Sleeping mask helps retain moisture in your skin."
"I put a lot on too because my lips, they get dry really easily so when I put this baby on, the next morning when I wake up, my skin looks good, my lips look good - it's like yeah, I don't have to do anything. I just, concealer, eyebrows, I'm done, two minutes, I'm done!"
