The night facial routine , unlike the morning one, is characterized by being more complete, experimental and we can even have a little more fun.
We know, we are romanticising the topic, but what we seek to explain is that there is a greater variety of products to apply, which results in the alternative of choosing various paths that will lead us to the same objective: recovering and nourishing the skin .
Below, we give you three keys that will make the difference between having a skin that is envious and one that causes shame.
The best of all? You will realize that getting an effective night facial routine is nothing out of this world . The only thing you should not neglect is the rule in any skin care : consistency.
Being clear that consistency is the key to success, we also emphasize that the night facial routine aims to recover the skin while it is at rest; that is, sleeping.
With this we do not mean to imply that morning skin care is not important, they simply have different objectives.
While the first keeps the face protected, the second - the night one - is responsible for revitalizing and strengthening the skin from the different attacks received during the day.
We consider it unnecessary to mention it, but we remember that no matter how tired we are or how late we get home, we should not skip the night routine .
The latter serves as an excellent excuse to jump to the next key to an effective facial routine : products. Although we can include a large number of products, we consider that 5 are essential to emerge victorious.
The quintet of products that we should include in the night facial routine are: cleanser, toner, serum, moisturizer and eye contour.
Cleansing removes all the impurities accumulated throughout the day. For those looking to reach the expert level, you can choose a double facial cleansing, which we recommend.
On the other hand, there is the toner, its objective is to restore skin hydration and counteract the stiff effect left by the cleanser. The third step, without a doubt, is the star of the night - and key - to any nighttime routine : the serum.
The reason? It is loaded with active ingredients (which we mention in the next point). Thanks to its lightness, it penetrates deeply and recovers the skin during the night.
Followed by the serum, an emollient-type cream should be applied , which has a creamy or heavy texture. In this way, a thicker layer is created, which promotes better performance of the serum in the deep layers.
Finally there is the eye contour , let's not forget that it is a specific formula designed for this delicate part of the face. The reason is the thinnest skin on the entire body, hence the importance of specific care.
Every beauty product includes some type of active ingredient, which makes it effectively fulfill its function. Those included in the products of the night facial routine - specifically in the serums - are the most powerful at recovering and revitalizing the skin.
To be honest, the list of active ingredients can be endless, but in order not to go on too long, we have selected the most used: hyaluronic acid provides hydration, retinol promotes collagen production, niacinamide has anti-inflammatory properties, and finally there are the antioxidants that serve to keep premature aging under control: ferulic acid, ascorbic acid, vitamin E, green tea, among many more.
