Gwyneth’s Nightly Skincare Routine

Starting in the late afternoon and moving into the night, I’ve focused my routine on relaxing, eating early, and going to bed early, which is great for my overall health, digestion, and sleep. I have a longstanding bathing routine and my skin care routine is simple – but effective in terms of results. My evening routine makes me feel good, relaxed, and happy before bed, and it works in the short term — so I’m radiant and ready for the next day — and long. longer, with benefits like firming, brightening, less-noticeable wrinkles and overall healthier-looking skin.

This usually happens when I’m off work, if I’m in the office (like many businesses, we have a hybrid work-from-home model these days). It didn’t take long for me to get home, and I continued to work there — calls, emails, etc. — until dinner was ready.

6 or 6:30 pm

We like to have long dinners with the kids when we can. Sometimes life gets in the way of everyone being there, but our sacred night is Wednesday: The entire Faltrow family, with all four children, is there. That’s been my standout routine for the whole week.

7:30 PM ONLY

I take a therapeutic bath almost every night — that’s 20 minutes I spend on myself. I started this habit in 1998, while I was filming Shakespeare in love in the UK (they shower a lot in the UK), and I still love that. My favorite bath right now is “The Martini”, we made with pink Himalayan salt and all these incredible oils and botanicals, and the Tubmarine bath from Pursoma, with algae and minerals.

My three-step skincare routine starts in the bath or shower with Microderm and goes from there.

STEP 1

GOOPGLOW The Microderm exfoliant is one of our bestsellers, and I use it pretty much every night — even though the packaging says use only two or three times a week. (You have to be punk rock and do it your own way sometimes.) I like it as a physical and chemical exfoliator. I spread it evenly and let it sit on my skin a bit to wash away the dead cells. After a few minutes, I feel a tingling – it’s chemical exfoliation in action. The great thing about Microderm is that it doesn’t create small tears in the skin; it’s a gentle yet powerful exfoliant that leaves your skin super soft and preps it for any treatments or serums you use next.

Next, it’s my favorite cream I’ve ever used, GOOPGENES face cream. It works great as a night cream, and of course my dry skin loves it for the day too (which is where the “All-in-One” comes in). It’s really firming, with nourishing and youth-enhancing benefits, and I love the thick and rich texture. Our clinical results speak for themselves — it’s unbelievable what it can do for your skin.

I use this face oil several times a day, including before going to bed. I obsessed. I want to bathe in it. I want to drink it. I have two Sign up for it now. It was a complete game changer for my skin. It’s made with bakuchiol, a great natural retinol alternative for fine lines and wrinkles, and is at the same time light and easily absorbed, cocooning the skin like no other product. I cannot live without it. Used in place of face cream, it’s been great for my dry skin — it’s stamped all goodness.

It’s a shame, we went to bed around 8:30 and I love watching TV. I know you shouldn’t, but I find it very relaxing. For me, it’s a way to put myself to sleep.
