Harness your skin's natural repair cycle with an optimized evening routine that works while you sleep
While you sleep, your skin enters repair mode. Cell regeneration peaks between 10 PM and 2 AM, making nighttime the optimal window for treatment products. Your evening routine should focus on repair, renewal, and deep nourishment.
Skin regenerates and repairs damage while you sleep
No sun exposure means richer products can be used
Perfect time for potent ingredients like retinoids
Start with an oil cleanser or micellar water to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and oil-based impurities.
Pro tip: Massage oil cleanser for 60 seconds, then rinse with lukewarm water.
Follow with a water-based cleanser to remove remaining impurities and prep skin for treatments.
Pro tip: Choose a gentle, pH-balanced cleanser that doesn't strip your skin.
Use chemical exfoliants (AHA/BHA) to remove dead skin cells and improve product absorption.
Pro tip: Start slowly and don't use on the same nights as retinoids initially.
Apply targeted treatments like retinoids, peptides, or niacinamide based on your skin concerns.
Pro tip: Apply thinnest to thickest consistency, waiting 5-10 minutes between layers.
Use a heavier, more nourishing moisturizer than your morning routine to support overnight repair.
Pro tip: Look for ingredients like ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and peptides.
Seal everything in with a facial oil or use a sleeping mask 2-3 times per week for extra nourishment.
Pro tip: Use oils sparingly - 2-3 drops are usually sufficient for the entire face.
