Last night while you were sleeping
your skin was still on the clock. Did you know that your skin not only changes from
your environment and weather, but also from day to night? It’s true. Physiology
of the skin of the skin changes from day to night. It’s called circadian
rhythms. Your skin produces less oil, is warmer, loses more water, &
repairs itself more at night than during daylight. While you’re getting your
beauty rest your skin gets a break, well sort of. Night time is your
skins time to go into recovery mode and repair the trauma that it has undergone
throughout the day.
How do
we take advantage of this natural process? From dry skin, fine lines, wrinkles,
and acne prone skin this is the perfect time to add what your skin is lacking
during the day. Nourishment is the primary force to restoration and choosing
the right tool is the first step. Serums (because they are concentrated), essential
oils (such as rosehip), moisturizing creams work well (depending on your skin
care needs) to repair and restore because your skin is open to receive more nourishment.
So, look at night time as a time of renewal not just for your body, but for your
skin as well!
