Introduction
Have you ever realised that you have been cutting off your sleep when you're overworked or stressed? We have all been in this position and it's because we consider sleep just as important as the rest of the time. It’s time we realise that sleep is important for your body to go through the process of repair so that it can maintain a healthy body. It helps with better blood flow and delivers essential nutrients and oxygen. Your skin gets in contact with UV rays and pollution during the day. Healthy sleep ensures those stressors are not shown on your skin.
Sleep is also connected to your mental health as it helps reduce stress levels and promote a balanced mood. As we navigate the demands of modern life, prioritising sleep can help solve a number of health problems that ultimately reflect on our skin.
Why should you practice skincare at night?
There are many people who prioritise daytime skincare routines but overlook nighttime care, either due to laziness or underestimating its importance. However, skincare before bed enhances the skin's repair and renewal processes by delivering essential nutrients and hydration to your skin.
A night time skincare regimen works for a long period of time to repair damage from environmental stressors, boost collagen synthesis and enhance skin texture and tone. Consistency in night care routine revitalises the skin immediately and contributes to long-term improvements in skin health.
Your Go-To Night Care Skincare Routine
-
Face Wash: Start by cleansing your face with a gentle and hydrating face wash. This removes makeup, dirt and oil accumulated throughout the day without stripping your skin of its natural oils.
Our cleanser is suitable for all skin types as it is enriched with artichoke extract, oats and honey. Artichoke extract helps to tighten pores, promoting a smoother skin texture. Oats and honey provide soothing properties that would calm any irritation that may have accumulated throughout the day.
-
Face Mist: After cleansing, apply a hydrating face mist. This step helps to replenish moisture and prepare your skin to better absorb the other products.
Our hydrating facial mist contains sandalwood that is known for its calming properties, reducing redness and irritation, which is beneficial after a long day exposed to pollution. It also contains basil extract that complements the skin by restoring its natural balance and preparing it for the next steps in your skincare routine.
-
Retinol: It's a must to incorporate retinol into your routine if you are in your mid 20s. Retinol, or its stronger prescription counterpart, retinoids, are derivatives of vitamin A known for their anti-ageing properties. It is advised to use retinol at night as it can increase sun sensitivity in the daytime.
Our retinol is combined with antioxidant-rich natural oils such as Almond, Olive, Crambe Abyssinica, Sunflower and Rosemary. Together, they minimise potential dryness and irritation while enhancing the skin's barrier. This synergy promotes smoother texture, diminishes wrinkles, and supports overall skin health.
-
Serum: Serums are concentrated formulations designed to target specific skincare concerns such as skin brightening, firming or hydrating. Choose a serum based on your primary skin goals, whether it's reducing fine lines, improving texture, or enhancing radiance.
Our serum is enriched with exfoliating acids such as Salicylic and Glycolic, along with skin-brightening extracts. They work synergistically to promote cell turnover and refine skin texture. The antioxidants, Ribes Nigrum and Rubus Idaeus protect against environmental stressors, supporting skin repair overnight.
