Day care vs. night care: How to create the perfect routine for your skin
Your skin has different needs depending on the time of day. In the morning, it needs to protect itself from external influences; in the evening, it's all about regenerating and repairing. If you support your skin with the right care, you'll feel—and see—the difference!
Whether during the day or at night, the order in which you apply your products is crucial. Here's how to optimally structure your day and night care routine to get the best results for your skin.
Daytime Skincare Routine
1. Cleaning
It's not enough to just cleanse at night. Your skin will also come into contact with oil and dirt from your hair care products and pillowcase while you sleep. Washing your skin in the morning with a gentle cleanser will help keep it fresh and clean.
2. Weekly peeling
Skin renews itself every 28 days, but this process slows down with age. A weekly exfoliation removes dead skin cells and promotes a radiant, fresh appearance.
3. Essence
An important step that many overlook: The essence restores the pH balance and prepares your skin for subsequent care. It provides intensive moisture and helps the skin absorb the next products better.
4. Serum
Serums work against many signs of skin aging. They combat wrinkles, dark spots, and skin irregularities. A vitamin C-enriched serum also protects against UV damage and external environmental influences.
5. Eye cream
The skin around your eyes is particularly delicate and prone to fine lines and puffiness. Regular use of eye cream helps firm and nourish the skin to maintain elasticity.
6. Sun protection
The most important measure of the day: sun protection! Protect your skin from UV rays and environmental damage by using a moisturizing sunscreen. This will keep your skin protected and seal in all your other products at the same time.
Nighttime Skincare Routine
1. Remove makeup
Thoroughly removing makeup is the first step in your evening routine. Use a cleansing oil or makeup remover wipe to remove mascara, lipstick, and makeup residue.
2. Cleaning
Afterwards, use a gentle cleansing balm or cream to remove any remaining dirt and makeup residue and thoroughly cleanse your skin.
3. Peeling
Whether you exfoliate in the morning or at night is up to you. However, if you wear makeup, it's recommended to exfoliate in the evening to remove all residue and unclog your pores.
4. Essence
Essence is also an essential step in the evening. It moisturizes your skin and prepares it for the following care products.
5. Eye cream
Apply the eye cream in the evening after your essence. This allows it to work overnight and regenerate your eye area.
6. Serum
A nighttime vitamin C-enriched serum helps repair and regenerate your skin while you sleep. It works with the skin's natural renewal processes.
7. Moisturizing care
Skin loses moisture at night, so it's important to treat it with a nourishing night cream. A rich moisturizer helps regenerate the skin and keep it hydrated throughout the night.
Conclusion
Your skin needs protection during the day and regeneration at night. Pay attention to the right order and the right products for day and night. This way, you can ensure your skin is always optimally cared for and you start each day with a radiant, healthy complexion.
