Before sleeping: Why a serum can be your best nighttime ally
Good night, beautiful ones! Did you know that while we sleep our body works to repair and rejuvenate our skin? Therefore, the moment before going to sleep is crucial to give our skin some extra love and care. Today I want to share with you why a serum can be the best ally in your nighttime routine and how it can transform your skin while you sleep.
The Science Behind Nighttime Skin Care
During the night, our skin changes its focus on protecting itself against the ravages of the day to repair itself. This natural regeneration process makes our skin more receptive to the nutrients and treatments we apply. Using a serum before bed takes advantage of this state, allowing the active ingredients to work more effectively.
Why a serum and not a cream?
Serums are lighter and contain higher concentrations of active ingredients than creams. Their low viscosity allows them to penetrate deeper into the skin, where they can really work wonders during the night hours.
Benefits of Night Serums
Intensification of Hydration
At night, we lose more water through our skin than during the day. A good overnight serum is designed to not only intensely hydrate, but to help keep that hydration locked in until the morning.
Collagen Stimulation
Ingredients such as retinol and peptides, which are common in night serums, are essential to promote collagen production. Collagen is the component that keeps our skin firm and young. Applying a stimulating serum before bed helps ensure that we are maximizing the firmness and elasticity of our skin.
Cellular Renewal
Many night serums contain alpha-hydroxy acids (AHA) that help gently exfoliate the skin, removing dead cells and promoting the generation of new cells. Not only does this help improve skin texture and tone, but it can also decrease the appearance of spots and wrinkles.
How to Choose the Right Night Serum
Each skin type has specific needs, and that is why it is crucial to choose a serum that suits yours. If you have sensitive skin, look for serums with soothing ingredients such as aloe vera or green tea extract. If what you are looking for is luminosity, opt for serums with vitamin C.
How to Incorporate a Night Serum into Your Routine
Step by step
-
Cleansing: Always start with a clean face. Use a gentle cleanser to remove impurities and prepare your skin to better absorb the serum.
-
Serum application: Apply a few drops of serum to your fingers and gently distribute it over your face and neck with upward movements. Less is more; You don't need much product.
-
Sealing with cream: After the serum is absorbed, apply a moisturizer to seal in the serum's active ingredients and add an extra layer of hydration.
