Skincare - Why do you need different serums for day and night
When talking about skincare, it's common to ask friends or acquaintances what products they use and how they keep their complexions healthy. However, before using any product, it's vital to identify what your skin type is to learn how best to care for it.
That's why, below, I'll give you an example of a skincare routine that includes day and night serums that work for all skin types, keeping them healthy and highlighting your natural beauty.
How you can take care of your skin daily
First, consistency in caring for your skin will be vital to see results, so set a daily schedule for your morning skincare routine and a plan for your night routine. Although it seems a simple tip, be sure to think about when you’ll do it - such as after your shower in the morning and just before bed at night - as this will help you to make this habit a part of your day.
Let's see what your daily skincare routine should look like.
Having a daily routine to take care of your skin is critical because, during the day, your skin is exposed to sunlight, pollution, weather changes, sweat, and impurities that, when absorbed, affect the appearance of your complexion. Therefore, the following steps will help you keep your skin protected during the day so that you will always look radiant:
#1 Gently wipe your face
This is an essential step in keeping your skin fresh and ready to absorb the components of the products you will apply. Use warm water to clean your face; if you use soap, make sure it has a neutral pH, so it doesn't alter your skin's natural balance. Finally, don't forget to use a clean towel, that is exclusively for drying your face.
#2 Tone your skin
After washing it's crucial to use a toner that is friendly to your skin type, to keep your face hydrated, and to maintain a soft appearance that not only looks but feels healthy. It is essential that you investigate the components of the cream you choose before buying; remember that some of the most beneficial to your skincare is:
Hyaluronic acid:
This ingredient traps and conserves skin moisture and increases collagen to delay signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, and flaccidity
Retinol (Vitamin A1):
Although it is rare to find a cream with this ingredient, retinol is a potent weapon against premature aging; it helps keep your skin smooth, even, with a youthful appearance and without spots.
Aloe Vera:
This is an ultra-moisturizing substance, ideal for protecting and repairing damage caused by the su
#3 Eye Contour
Many of you think that you don't need eye contour. Wrong. This product is significant because the skin around this area is much thinner than the rest of your face and has different needs. An eye contour hydrates deeply so make sure you use it regularly!
#4 Use a day serum
You should always apply the day serum before the moisturizer. The reason? It is usually lighter, and so using it first will guarantee its correct absorption. And what exactly does a day serum do? Its formulas come in higher concentrations, which will make them act more intensely when it comes to fighting something specific, such as skin problems.
Therefore, it will always be the perfect complement to your moisturizer especially if you are looking to remove marks on the skin. Have in mind to avoid those that contain harmful elements. Stick to natural-based products!
#5 Nothing without a hydrating cream!
A moisturizer requires no further explanation; its primary function is in the name: to moisturize. This is the only product found in all the toilettes in the world. Even if you're not a beauty addict and don't have a complete daily or night routine, you'll have at least one facial cream that you use frequently.
These products aim to alleviate dryness and, as they have a heavier consistency to the rest of the items used in your regime, also work as a barrier on the skin to protect it from any external irritant. You must look for the one that perfectly suits your skin type.
#6 Finally, protect your skin from the sun
No matter what weather you’ll be out in, it's important to always protect your skin with a sunscreen that has a minimum sun protection factor (SPF) of 30, is waterproof, protects your skin from UVA and UVB rays, and is free of oil.
Now you might be wondering why you should use a night serum when you have all these products included in the daily skincare process. Let's see!
Skincare at night
#1 Remove makeup from your face
To remove makeup, use a cotton pad or soft wet cloth and soak with micellar water; gently wipe it all over your face, trying to be very careful around the eyelid area; remember that this is where wrinkles first appear!
#2 Removes dirt with micellar water
Just removing makeup is not enough because there is makeup residue on your skin that will require cleaning off. For this step, in addition to using a micellar solution, it is important to rinse with warm water afterward.
#3 Don't miss the night serum!
The night is the best time to apply a moisturizing product on your face as this is when the processes of repair and detoxification of the skin are activated. During the day, your skin activates defense mechanisms to protect itself from day-to-day pollution and dirt.
I recommend you use a facial night serum with natural ingredients like CBD, vitamins, and antioxidants that fight harmful substances, restore firmness and softness, improve texture, and unify the tones of your skin.
The night serum that contains all-natural ingredients maximizes antioxidant action, improves the appearance of wrinkles, expression lines, and helps restore the skin, making it look younger, softer, and more radiant!
