10-Min Night Skincare Routine for Puffy Eyes, Dark Circles & Dull Skin

Restore, relax, and rejuvenate your skin overnight with this science-backed Ayurvedic glow ritual loved by 10,000+ women.

Why Your Skin Looks Puffy & Dull at Night (And What’s Causing It)

If you wake up to puffiness, dullness or deepening under-eye circles, your nighttime routine might be missing a crucial step: nervous system reset.

Most modern women go to sleep wired and inflamed. Late-night screen time, irregular meals, hormonal stress and lack of ritual all disrupt the body’s natural repair system. And your skin, being your largest organ, reflects it.

What causes night skin dullness, puffiness and pigmentation?

• Sluggish lymphatic drainage
  
• Poor gut and hormonal rhythm
  
• Elevated cortisol at night
  
• Suppressed melatonin levels
  
• No facial circulation support
  

Here’s the secret: your skin repairs best not just when it’s clean, but when your nervous system is calm, breath is deep and your organs are in rest-and-digest mode.

The Secret Ritual That Combats Puffiness & Tired Skin (Without a Single Pill)

This sacred skincare ritual isn’t just about applying oils.
It’s a multi-sensory reset. A way to transition your body from chaos to calm. And each step is designed to:

• Drain water retention
  
• Reduce fatigue
  
• Boost overnight repair
  
• Deepen sleep quality
  
• Fade pigmentation naturally
  

Inspired by Ayurveda, this 10-minute ritual combines:

• Hormone-balancing abdominal massages
  
• Under-eye drainage techniques
  
• Cooling face oils with antioxidant herbs
  
• Pranayama (breathwork) to reduce cortisol
  
• Lunar energy rituals to reset the skin
  

It’s skincare that honors your breath, your hormones, and your soul.
