Now that the daily rhythms are finally back to normal, after a busy day at the office or at home in front of the PC, follow a proper skin care routine may seem the last thing you would like to do (it would be much better to spread out on the couch to sip a glass of rosé, with Netflix and cover). In addition, the evening outings between aperitifs, dinners and trips to the clubs now that the clubs have reopened, make you sleep less and less. But, since the phase of sleep is a fundamental moment to allow the skin to regenerate, how can we benefit from it? Easy, using beauty overnight products able to take care of the whole body, from head to toe, simply sleeping - to keep in mind even the laziest.
Not surprisingly, a good night’s rest provides us with the renewal process that we need to wake up radiant. If during the day the epidermis, especially the delicate face, must defend itself from atmospheric agents such as wind, sun, cold, stress and pollution, when evening comes, instead comes the time to regenerate. During the night the skin is "restored", activating the production of collagen and elastin, essential substances for a young face. In addition, during restorative sleep, the skin is more receptive to cosmetic treatments and, in the Rem phase, the mechanisms of skin self-repair are accelerated.
However, sleep is only useful if we allow it, which is why it is important to implement best practices, from beneficial skin care products to help you sleep better, so you can wake up with a 360 º shine, from head to foot.
After lighting your favorite candle and putting some good background music, let’s get started! First, cleansing. It is essential to cut out time in the evening to carry out an effective facial cleansing that takes away all the dirt deposited during the day. The choice of detergent must be based on products able to perform a gentle skin peeling that removes anything that can clog the pores without affecting the skin barrier. In addition to this, the detergent must have a formulation in which the lipid and hydrophilic fraction are well balanced to prevent the hydrolipid film skin from altering.
Then we move on to the night cream. Often the question arises: but if I’m tired and stressed and I don’t want to do anything? It is here that the psychological motivation takes over, so it is important to take care of your skin before going to bed: the relaxing power that comes with it. The application of a good cream, which also has a delicate and enveloping scent, stimulates the release of endorphins at the brain level that induce a state of well-being that reconciles sleep.
If then we choose an ad hoc formulation, able to enhance the effects of skin regeneration, even better. Once a week, maximum two, it is also useful to combine the cream with a face mask ad hoc. During the hours spent in bed, in fact, the skin undergoes fewer external stresses such as sunlight and smog and, for this reason, it is the right time for a hydration booster that will make it brighter and turgid upon awakening.
In addition to that of the face, even the skin of the body should never take off the beauty sleep, because it is precisely at night that all the cells of the body are activated to regenerate and recharge. To promote the physiological processes of the skin, therefore, it is recommended to use in the evening products rich in hyaluronic acid, ceramides for proper rehydration, antioxidants, such as vitamins, especially vitamin E and polyphenols, resveratrol and other phytoextracts that enhance the body’s natural activity to protect itself from free radicals.
Last but not least, to enhance the effects of facial and body treatments applied before going to sleep, choose a pillow case in 100% silk and a pyjamas based on hyaluronic acid as those proposed by Francine Haircare and PH5.
