From Tik Tok skin trends to Twitter skin hacks there’s a wealth of information about what to use, here’s some tried and tested products from the Amaliah Twitter community/

---

With all the conflicting advice out there and Tik Tok beauty advice rearing it’s head every other day along with the exorbitant amount of products we have to choose from, we knew it was time to turn to the Amaliah community for their bedtime skincare routines in the hopes of sparking some inspiration and trust worthy tried and tested products, routines and tips.

My favourite has to be the addition of night time dua to your skin care routine.

Non-lathering cleanse – either oil or gel, retinoid, eye cream, the night time Dua and you’re good
