Nighttime is an ideal period for skin recovery and regeneration. It is at night that our skin is most susceptible to active components that help it recover from daytime stress. Therefore, I want to share a detailed overview of an effective nighttime face care routine.
1. Cleaning
The first and initial step is a thorough cleansing of the face:
- Use any cleanser that suits your skin type.
- If you wear makeup, remove it first with a hydrophilic oil. You can also find it in the LUM assortment.
- Never go to bed with makeup on - it can lead to clogged pores and a screen will appear.
2. Toning
A moisturizing tonic will help restore the skin's pH balance after cleansing:
- Choose an alcohol-free toner to avoid over-drying. In the facial skin care line from LUM, you can also find toners for any skin type.
- Apply the toner on a cotton pad and gently wipe your face.
3. Serum
The lifting serum, which contains hyaluronic acid and collagen, is an effective tool in the fight against wrinkles and the inner glow of the skin. Hyaluronic acid creates an invisible film on the surface of the skin, retaining moisture and providing long-lasting hydration during the night. Collagen helps to restore the skin's elasticity, intensively nourishes it and smoothes it, turning it into a more elastic and fresh wound.
4. Night cream
Night cream traditionally has a richer texture than day cream:
- Choose a cream according to your skin type and its needs.
- Creams with ceramides and fatty acids are suitable for dry skin.
- For oily skin, it is better to choose a light, oil-free moisturizer.
5. Examination of the skin around the eyes
The skin around the eyes needs special attention:
- Use a special eye cream that will help reduce the appearance of dark circles and fine lines.
- Apply the cream with light tapping movements without stretching the delicate protection.
6. Additional means
Once or twice a week you can add to the night routine:
- Face masks for intensive moisturizing or cleansing.
- Peels and scrubs to restore dead skin cells and stimulate renewal.
And LUM Rice Face Scrub has (obviously????) rice flour, which effectively cleanses the skin, removing impurities and excess sebum, and stimulates blood circulation, preventing the appearance of wrinkles. A complex of herbs containing chamomile, calendula and licorice root nourishes and soothes the preparation, making it healthier and fresher.
Tips for maximum efficiency:
1. Follow the complications: from the easiest means to the most important.
2. Allow each to fully absorb before applying the next.
3. Do not forget about the neck and décolleté area - they also need care.
4. Try to go to bed before midnight - the "golden hours" of sleep for the skin are from 10:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m.
5. Use a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce skin friction.
Remember that consistency is the key to success in skin care. A regular night routine will help you achieve noticeable results and support the health and beauty of your skin.
