Why nighttime is so important for your skin

At night, your skin is working. It repairs and regenerates. By capitalising on this key moment you ensure your skin is revitalised when you awake. How? By adopting a targeted skincare routine that provides what your skin needs.

Nighttime is for renewal

During the day, your skins focus is on protecting itself from external aggressions with a barrier function. At night when it is sheltered from harm, the regeneration process begins. It is at this exact moment that cells set to work repairing the damage caused by the day with a precise set of actions. After a good night’s sleep, skin is regenerated and is once again ready to defend itself from possible harm. Over time, with hormonal changes, the environment, exposure to certain factors and skin ageing, your skins ability to self-repair at night can be hindered. By taking care of your skin at this crucial moment, you can promote long term beauty and quality.

Nighttime routine: the essential stages

All types of skin have different needs, but an effective evening skincare routine will generally contain the same elements.

Remove make up and cleanse

Before anything else, any makeup and impurities accumulated on the surface of your skin throughout the day needs to be removed with a makeup remover balm, cleansing liquid, gel, cleansing milk... Then you should cleanse for perfectly clean skin that’s ready to receive the skincare treatments that follow. Use the right product for your skin type, you could try Sisley's Radiance Foaming Cream or the Gentle Cleansing Gel with Tropical Resins (for combination to oily skin).

Target

Once the skin is clean, apply targeted skincare for your skin type and needs. This could be an anti-wrinkle or firming serum with powerful anti-ageing active ingredients, a hydrating or dark spot correction serum such as Phyto-Blanc Le Concentré paired with an ultra-precise dark spot corrector for even more effectiveness on the appearance of dark spots. Remember delicate areas such as the eye and lip contours, are often the first place signs of ageing start to show, and also your neck and chest.

Regenerate

The final stage of your evening routine. A classic night cream may be sufficient for normal skin; but dry skin needs both hydration and nutrition. The Velvet Sleeping Mask, offers instant comfort and suppleness - plus a radiant look when you awaken.
