4 Skincare Ingredients To Be Used Only At Night

Ingredients : You may spend your time and moolah on picking the best skin care brands and products. But what good are they if you don’t use them well? One mistake that you wouldn’t want to make is using these strict PM ingredients in the daytime.

Retinol
Retinol is one of the skin repair superheroes. It fights wrinkles, acne and skin pigmentation like no other. This one is at the top of our list of ingredients to use at night.

Many would lead you to believe that the reason for this is because retinol will make the skin sun sensitive. Well, that is partly true. But the real scientific reason is that Retinol is sensitive to sunlight. The UV rays of the sun deactivate retinol. So, if you apply a retinol product and expose the skin to daylight, it would be less effective.

Exfoliating Acids
AHAs and BHAs are our favourite ingredients when it comes to daily chemical exfoliation. These ingredients slough away dead skin cells that cause dullness and breakouts. They also promote a healthy cell turnover. In short, they can give you a blemish-free skin which is as smooth as a baby’s bum!

Ingredients such as glycolic acid and salicylic acid reduce the protective barrier while they are at work. These are the ones that make the skin sensitive to heat, wind and light.

Night Creams and Sleep Masks
These creams are heavier and designed to form a nourishing layer on the skin to repair it overnight. The result is hydrated and nourished, plump and rejuvenated skin in the morning.But products meant for the night are also slightly occlusive. They may interfere with the normal secretion of sweat and sebum during the day leading to congestion and breakouts.
