Sleep is the time when the human body takes the opportunity to repair itself. Cellular repair, which is the most important mechanism by which we can stay alive, happens during the nighttime hours, while we sleep.” Nighttime is the essential time for skin cell regeneration, with a peak at midnight. During the first sleep cycle, we can observe an increase in cell proliferation and recovery.  Cosmetics indicated for the night are formulated with active ingredients that promote cell renewal.

What are the ideal steps for your night routine?

As an indispensable step in the night routine, the most important thing is to cleanse very well, even going as far as double-cleansing. First, you can do it with an oil product and then a soapy one. Then continue applying the treatment for the eye contour, serum for the rest of the face. And finally, a moisturizer, especially for the night.  

What is the difference between day and night products?

During the day, we need to protect ourselves against harmful external factors to which we are subjected (pollution, sun, heating), and at night we need to repair this damage. The skin tends to improve its barrier function to prepare for the 00day’s challenges in the morning. Therefore, the skin needs moisturizing products that strengthen the cutaneous barrier. At night, we recommend taking advantage of the skin’s peak cell regeneration with formulas that help it recover, especially with nourishing moisturizers.
