Sleep isn’t just a way for you to rest your tired body and mind – it’s actually a means of helping heal yourself physically and mentally. For your skin, that means your cells. As you rest, your skin cell turnover increases, replenishing dead and damaged skin cells with fresh new ones. Why so important? They get damaged throughout the day by free radicals, but thanks to skin cell regeneration, your skin cells are restored. This process occurs at nighttime, peaking at 9pm. So that’s why skipping night cream (and yes, that skin-amazing serum), is not a good idea.
What’s the deal with free radicals?
They’re basically unbalanced oxygen atoms that randomly go looking for other atoms to steady themselves. They latch onto your skin, causing a chain of damage that leads to premature ageing. Want to get rid of them immediately? Then think of your nighttime skincare routine as more than removing make up and moisturising.
A Good Night’s Treatment: What Does Your Skin Need?
Your skin has its own day and night biorhythm (daily cycle). During the day, it needs protection and hydration; at night, it needs support for its natural regeneration process. Day and night creams should therefore be tailored perfectly with one another. Because the skin is working flat out to regenerate itself at night, night creams are more moisturising and particularly rich in active ingredients.
Choosing the right night cream for your skin is all about treating its condition. Whether it’s boosting its texture (firmness) or pumping hydration. An evening serum treats the skin. In other words, it contains active ingredients able to work deeper within the skin to repair wrinkles for example. Anti-inflammatory Pro-Vitamin B5 is such ingredient, helping to defuse skin damage that you’ve accumulated during the day. Find it together with pure antioxidant, Co-Enzyme Q10, found in NIVEA Q10 Anti-Wrinkle Power Ultra Recovery Night Serum. Apply your night serum after cleansing and before your night cream.
