Nighttime Beauty Treatments for Skin

You’ve probably heard women refer to “getting their beauty sleep”. Scientific studies have proven that getting an adequate amount of uninterrupted, deep sleep every night is critically important for your body to maintain optimum levels of energy throughout the day and to heal itself.

While you’re sleeping, your body’s cellular structure repairs itself, which is why it’s the ideal time to use nighttime beauty treatments that rejuvenate and replenish your skin with essential nutrients and moisture. After waking up from a restful sleep, you will notice that your skin looks brighter, your eyes are clearer, and you look refreshed and more vibrant.

Nighttime Beauty Treatments To Rejuvenate Skin

RETINOL:

1. If you have a good skincare regimen, you should be regularly using SPF sunscreens and antioxidant-rich face serums during the daytime. But, during the evening hours, it’s time to switch up your beauty routine.

Nighttime is best reserved for Vitamin A-rich Retinol treatments (since these can cause sun sensitivity). Retinol treatments (such as prescription-strength Retin-A or OTC formulas) increase skin cell turnover and encourage collagen reproduction. In other words, they help your skin naturally exfoliate itself, which leads to softer, more even-toned skin with fewer signs of lines, wrinkles, and discoloration.

Since some people experience redness from Retinol treatments, it’s advisable to start off using this type of nighttime beauty treatment every few days, and building up to daily use. After a few weeks, your skin should be able to handle this type of skincare treatment without showing any unwanted reactions (such as redness or flakiness).

EYE CREAM:

2. One of the most important nighttime beauty treatments you can do is to use an eye cream.

Whether you’re dealing with crows feet or fine lines, under-eye circles, or even puffiness, eye creams can help you minimize these unsightly problems and even help prevent these issues from cropping up again in the future. The key is to find a hydrating eye cream with anti-aging nutrients, such as vitamins and antioxidants (that combat free radicals).

BODY CREAM:

3. Another important element to focus on during your nighttime beauty routine is to take care of your body. Often times women obsess over how their faces look, but seem to get lazy when it comes to their bodies.

While the skin on your body (aside from our chest, neck, and hands) tends to be thicker, meaning it is less prone to show signs of aging than your face (which is exposed to the harsh elements on a daily basis), you still need to take care of it if you want it to look good. By regularly applying moisture-rich body creams, you can prevent dryness, flakiness, and rough patches.

By incorporating the above 3 beauty treatments into your nighttime skincare routine, you will soon notice that your skin looks rejuvenated, replenished, and radiant.
