How to prepare your skin for sleep

Evening skin care is started not before going to bed, but 1,5–2 hours before going to bed. We bring to your attention a competent algorithm of actions.

Choose the right time

Closer to the night, the skin begins to restore work: it begins to renew itself, trying to neutralize the effects of daytime stress and the harmful effects of the environment.

At this time, she is most susceptible to the active ingredients of cosmetics. According to biorhythms, the transition to night mode occurs around ten in the evening, and not after midnight.

Do not apply night cream just before bed, otherwise you risk provoking morning swelling. The best time for evening care is a couple of hours before bedtime.

Give your skin the ultimate evening care

Night creams are thicker and richer in texture, often containing oils. As a rule, it is convenient to apply them: thanks to the “sliding” texture, they are easily distributed over the skin.
