As a mom of three, my nights don’t exactly scream “self-care” or time for a night time skin regimen. They’re more like a chaotic episode of Survivor, where the challenges include convincing a toddler that pajamas are not optional, negotiating bedtime stories, dodging Nerf guns darts, the constant battle of “just one more sip of water” and a pre-teen who suddenly becomes very chatty at 9 PM.

But no matter how wild bedtime gets, I always somehow make time for my night time skincare regimen. Why? Because my skin deserves better than being an innocent bystander to my daily stress. And, honestly, it’s the only thing in my life I have complete control over. So, once the house is semi-quiet, I embark on my nightly habit —armed with my favorite Revision Skincare products.

Step 1: The Great Makeup Escape (Papaya Enzyme Cleanser)

After a long day of work and mom-ing, my face has been through it all—school pickup sweat, mystery smudges from little hands, and possibly some glitter from an impromptu princess dress change. I grab my Papaya Enzyme Cleanser, which gently exfoliates and removes makeup without stripping my skin. It smells fresh, feels luxurious, and for those 30 seconds, I pretend I’m not in my bathroom where a Nerf gun battle just took place.

Step 2: Tone It Down, Mom Life (Soothing Facial Rinse)

Now that my skin is clean, I follow up with Soothing Facial Rinse. It helps calm and hydrate my skin—kind of like a deep breath for my face after a day of chaos. Bonus: It preps my skin for the rest of my routine, making sure all my serums and moisturizers absorb better.

Step 3: The Secret to Fake Sleep (C+ Correcting Complex 30%)

At this point, I’m running on caffeine, hope and a whole lot of prayers, but my skin doesn’t have to give away the fact that I’ve been up since 5 AM. Enter C+ Correcting Complex 30%, a powerful vitamin C serum that brightens, firms, and protects against environmental damage. I call it my “rest in a bottle” because even on the most sleep-deprived mornings, it makes me look like I got at least 7 hours (even if I didn’t).

Step 4: The Magic Eraser for Fine Lines (DEJ Boosting Serum)

Now, I bring in the big guns and my personal favorite product—DEJ Boosting Serum. This one is all about improving elasticity, reducing fine lines, and keeping my skin firm. Because while I love my kids, I’d rather not have “permanently exhausted parent” written all over my face.

Step 5: The Eye Treatment That Saves My Sanity (DEJ Eye Cream)

If there’s one thing that screams mom life, it’s dark circles and under-eye puffiness. That’s why I never skip DEJ Eye Cream. It hydrates, firms, and reduces puffiness—aka, it’s my little secret weapon for looking less like a the walking dead.

Step 6: Beauty Sleep in a Bottle (DEJ Night Face Cream)

Finally, I slather on DEJ Night Face Cream, which works its magic while I attempt to sleep. This cream is packed with peptides, antioxidants, and all the good stuff to help my skin repair and rejuvenate overnight. By the time my alarm (or, let’s be real, a small child crawls into my bed) wakes me up, my skin feels refreshed—even if the rest of me is running on fumes.

Sure, my skincare routine may get interrupted by, “Mom, I need more water” or “Mom, one more kiss” calls, or a dramatic pajama change because we want to wear princesses instead of sleepy sheep’s, but it’s my little nightly escape. It’s the one part of my day where I focus on me—even if it’s just for five minutes.

Because at the end of the day, I might not be able to control bedtime meltdowns, endless pajama changes or the importance to be chatty well after it is time for bed but I can control how I take care of my skin. And that, my friends, is a win. ✨

— XO, habit.
