You may think your body shuts down when you close your eyes and drift off to sleep. In reality, your body is hard at work repairing itself while you snooze. In your deepest sleep state, blood supply to your muscles and tissues increases, stimulating growth and repair. Essential hormones are released to strengthen your immune system and your brain works to consolidate memories. Even your skin is working hard to repair and regenerate.
Though your skin naturally repairs itself while you sleep, it shouldn’t have to do it alone. During the day, you use skincare products to clean, hydrate, and protect your skin but that treatment shouldn’t stop at sundown. The right nighttime moisturizer is a key element in your PM skincare routine.
During the day, your skin is working hard to fend off environmental aggressors like pollution, UV exposure, and weather. Over the course of a long day, your skin may feel a little dry and fine lines may seem more apparent. Cleansing helps remove the grime of the day and toner helps rebalance while increasing absorption of other skincare products. But what about moisturizers?
Your daytime moisturizer is designed to deliver appropriate hydration. It works as a companion to your makeup and SPF protection. Nighttime moisturizer is designed to feed the skin while you sleep, aiding in the process of repair, restoration, and rejuvenation.
Certain PM moisturizer ingredients like alpha hydroxy acids exfoliate the upper layer of skin to reveal brighter, younger-looking skin while nourishing ingredients like shea butter restore softness and help smooth away fine lines. Other ingredients boost collagen production to improve skin elasticity and some soothe the skin, reducing the frequency or severity of breakouts.
As is true for any skincare product, it’s important to choose a night cream appropriate for your skin type. For sensitive skin, a lightweight, soothing product with ingredients like probiotics or arnica might be best. Oily skin does well with ingredients to balance oil production like rosemary essential oil, while dry skin can benefit from nourishing facial oils like Inca Inchi oil in their moisturizer. Avoid anything that might clog your pores or irritate the skin.
Consider these ingredients for optimal nighttime repair:
Choosing the best night cream can seem like a tough decision but Yon-Ka Paris offers a wide variety of options to fit any skin type. Whether you have sensitive skin, dry skin, or mature skin, there’s an option available for you. Made with plant cell active-based ingredients, Yon-Ka Paris skincare products deliver a therapeutic and luxurious experience designed to address specific skincare concerns.
Here are the top Yon-Ka Paris nighttime moisturizers to consider:
When choosing a nighttime moisturizer, you can put your daytime worries to bed. You won’t need SPF and you can indulge in a richer, heavier cream without worrying about shine. After all, you’ll wash your face again in the morning to start the day fresh.
To get the most out of your nightly moisturizer, remember to cleanse your face prior to moisturizing at night. And to reduce the spread of acne-causing bacteria, change your pillowcases often. If you sleep with an eye mask, be sure to wash it often.
In addition to using a PM moisturizer, you might consider adding a booster to address specific skin issues like dehydration and anti-aging. Try Booster Hydra+, an intensely hydrating concentrate that maximizes the effects of your nighttime moisturizer to diminish rough patches without clogging pores. Booster Lift+ enlivens aging skin, tightening the facial contours and promoting healthy skin tone. Booster Nutri+ features a powerful combination of nutrients to nourish, regenerate, and soften the skin, gently reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while you rest.
Getting a good night’s sleep is good for your body, mind, and for your skin. Though your body does most of the work on its own, you can give it a helping hand with the right nighttime moisturizer.
