During the day, air pollution, makeup, stress, and screen light all put a strain on your skin. Just like you, your skin needs to rest and repair itself throughout the night. That's why a nighttime routine plays an even more critical role than your daytime routine.
Skin renews itself while you sleep. Blood circulation increases, collagen production accelerates, and cells become more active. But for this healing process to be effective, you need to support it properly.
So, what should you do before bed, and what should you pay attention to? Here are five effective suggestions, prepared with expert support and simplified with the Relance touch :
1. Start with a gentle cleanse
The most critical step in nighttime care is cleansing. If dirt, sebum, SPF residue, and makeup residue accumulated throughout the day are left on the skin, they clog pores, paving the way for blackheads and acne.
However, it is equally easy to damage the skin during the cleansing phase.
Cleansers with very strong ingredients take away the moisture from the skin and weaken the barrier.
Relance suggestion:
-
Use a pH-balanced, fragrance-free, and gentle cleanser.
-
Wash your skin with warm water in circular motions without rubbing.
- Use Relance Beauty 100% Natural Rose Water
If you want your skin to look less oily and balanced in the morning, nightly cleansing should be a ritual, not a necessity.
2. Choose a Calming Mist Instead of Toner
Traditional alcoholic toners can unnecessarily dry out your skin. Instead, use a soothing mist that supports your skin's moisture balance.
Relance suggestion:
-
Soothing mist products with natural ingredients such as aloe vera, lavender water or rose water
-
Spray on clean skin, wait a few seconds and then move on to your serum.
This step prepares the skin for serums while also locking in moisture on the skin surface.
3. Turn Your Night Into an Advantage with an Active Ingredient Serum
Nighttime is when skin regenerates best. Therefore, active ingredients are most effective in nighttime care. Some ingredients that may make skin sensitive to the sun during the day can be safely used at night.
Relance suggestion:
-
Serum selection according to skin needs:
-
Hyaluronic acid for dryness
-
Niacinamide for balance and blemish appearance
-
Retinol derivatives (low percentage) for anti-aging care
- Relance Beauty Vitamin C Serum for skin vitality
But here's the important thing:
Moving forward with small amounts of the right content.
Using multiple powerful ingredients on your skin can cause irritation, so opting for a minimal yet effective serum will yield better results in the long run.
4. Skipping Moisturizer Is the Biggest Mistake
Some people don't use moisturizer because they think their skin is already oily. This is a major misconception. Regardless of skin type, all skin types need moisture . This need is especially acute at night.
Relance suggestion:
-
A night moisturizer with a light texture that strengthens the skin barrier.
-
Formulas containing ceramide , panthenol and herbal oils
-
Make sure it is fragrance-free and non-comedogenic.
The skin absorbs these formulas throughout the night and you wake up with a more balanced, vibrant look in the morning.
5. Extra Support: Eye Contour and Lip Care
The eye area and lips are among the most sensitive areas of the face. These areas are thin and vulnerable, so they require special attention during nighttime care.
Relance suggestion:
-
A fragrance-free cream containing caffeine or peptides for the eye area
-
A natural balm for lips based on coconut oil
-
Remove dead skin with a light peeling twice a week.
- Relance Beauty lip gloss for your lips
Remember, expecting an overnight miracle isn't realistic. However, investing in your skin with the right steps every night will lead to lasting transformation in the long run.
Beautiful skin isn't just built on good genes; it's built on good habits. A nighttime routine prepares you not only for the day but also for the future.
At Relance, we've developed products that effectively support skin without tiring or straining it . By incorporating these five steps into your routine, you too can look in the mirror happier in the morning.
Because skin repairs itself while you sleep. The more you support it, the healthier and more balanced it will return to you.
