Why is it important to differentiate your morning beauty from your evening beauty routine?

by

As the day turns into night, the internal clock informs our body cells about the change. Thus, in the morning they hear mainly protective action from external factors while in the evening remedial.

Thus, the skin care routine is also an opportunity to enhance the action of skin cells. That’s why it needs to change slightly from morning to night.

Morning treatment

During the day, our skin fights various environmental factors, such as pollution, stress and temperature changes. Therefore, the morning care routine needs to be properly prepared.

During the day, the cells are in “protection mode”, producing lipids to strengthen the skin barrier. So, the best way to enhance their action is by using serums rich in antioxidants, such as vitamin C.

These products will strengthen the skin barrier and help fight free radical damage. At the same time, it is better to use more intense products, such as some acids, which can weaken the skin barrier at night.

Also, it is a good idea to start your day with a mild, moisturizing cleanser to remove product residues and bacteria that have accumulated overnight.

Continue with your favorite products, aiming at hydrating and protecting the skin. Of course, every proper morning care routine is completed with a sunscreen with a high protection index.

Evening treatment

A good evening care routine can enhance the night skin rejuvenation rituals and make you wake up with incredibly radiant, youthful skin. The reason is because the natural regeneration of the skin peaks during the night.

In the evening it is time to use the most intense products with active ingredients, such as retinol. Essentially, retinol boosts protein production to help with skin density and wrinkles, something that already happens at night. Thus, the skin will benefit much more since it is already in a state of repair.

Also, at night we often feel our skin drier. This is because as the day turns into night, the production of lipids in the skin decreases. More specifically, at night, the pH of the skin increases, the epidermal barrier weakens, blood flow increases and sebum production decreases. So our night care must support these changes.

That’s why at night, it is good to use richer, moisturizing products. These will not only lock in moisture while you sleep but will also fight any dryness caused by retinol use.
