🌙 The Night Shift: 5 Essential Steps for Maximizing Overnight Skin Repair
Share
Hello Glow-Getters and GlowUnity Boutique Customers!
The period while you sleep is not just rest time for you, but also prime time for your skin. At night, your skin switches from protection mode to repair and regeneration mode. Maximize this natural recovery process with a targeted evening routine. A dedicated night shift routine is the secret to waking up with truly glowing, restored skin.
1. The Deep Cleanse
Always start by double-cleansing (even if you haven't worn makeup). The first cleanse removes pollution and sunscreen, and the second cleanse purifies the pores, preparing them to absorb active ingredients.
2. Apply Your Actives (Treatment Phase)
This is the time to apply powerful ingredients like retinoids (Vitamin A) or strong acids (AHAs/BHAs) which promote cell turnover. These ingredients are best used at night because they can increase sun sensitivity. Start slowly, applying them just 2-3 nights a week.
3. Hydrating Serum Layering
After treatment, apply a hydrating serum rich in Hyaluronic Acid or Niacinamide. These ingredients attract moisture to the skin, plump fine lines, and help soothe any potential irritation from your actives.
4. Seal with a Moisturizer (The Barrier)
Apply a thicker, richer moisturizer than you would use during the day. This step creates an occlusive barrier that prevents transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and locks in all the previous layers of treatment and hydration. Look for ingredients like ceramides or squalane.
5. Eye Cream and Lip Care
The skin around your eyes and lips is thinner and lacks oil glands. Pat on a dedicated, rich eye cream to address fine lines and darkness. Finish the routine with a thick layer of a deeply nourishing lip mask or balm.
