In a busy everyday life, there is not much time for the long, wonderful skin care routines. Maybe you just have time to spread a quick face cream on your face before you brush your teeth and are on your way. But wait a bit - perhaps you can optimize your skin care routine after all if you are aware of which products are absorbed best and when.
Your morning beauty routine
Your skin doesn't absorb products as well in the morning as it does in the evening. Therefore, it can be smart to ditch the really cool masks and heavy creams in the morning, and instead wait until the afternoon or evening. You don't have to ditch your skin care routine in the morning, but instead just apply a light serum and a light cream.
During the day
The production of new skin cells is at its lowest around lunchtime and you may therefore experience a worsening of skin conditions if you e.g. suffer from psoriasis or other forms of eczema. Your oil production, on the other hand, is at its peak, and the skin can therefore feel oilier - and look shinier, around the forehead, nose and chin. Here you can use a face mist around 1 pm to prevent the shiny and greasy look.
Around 4pm, the skin is particularly good at absorbing active substances, so if you have time for it, it's a good idea to book a facial or apply a nourishing mask/serum. Naturally on a cleansed face.
When darkness falls
Your skin is most balanced in the afternoon and evening. The pores are more open, and you can give it gas with fat, nourishing creams, serums and masks.
Skin renewal is most active from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m., while the production of new skin cells is at its peak around midnight.
Good skin care routines are important, but secondary to your beauty sleep. Remember the beauty sleep, so that your products can have the optimal effect during the day and night.
