Retinol
Retinol increases the skin’s sensitivity to sunlight, so it is recommended to use it at night. Retinol is a beauty ingredient that many women trust for skin rejuvenation.
If you need to treat acne, you can use high-dose retinol (such as 0.1%) or retinoid prescribed directly to the pimples. If you are using retinol for cosmetic purposes (improving the skin, reducing wrinkles, etc.), start with a low dosage, such as 0.05%. As soon as you notice skin irritation when using retinol, stop using it immediately.
Furthermore, you should practice gentle skin care. This means washing your face with a mild facial cleanser, applying deep moisturizing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid (HA) and ceramide-containing moisturizers.
Don’t forget to use sunscreen because retinol always makes the skin more sensitive to sunlight, whether your skin is irritated or not. Another tip to avoid irritation is to use retinol in a moisturizer, especially if you have sensitive skin. You can mix retinol with your own serums and moisturizers.
Moisturizer
In the evening, sebaceous glands will reduce their activity, and the body will not provide enough moisture to the skin. Therefore, it is necessary to provide moisture to the skin to avoid dryness, irritation, or premature aging.
The nighttime is when the skin can most effectively absorb nutrients because at this time, the skin is not affected by environmental factors like during the daytime.
Dry shampoo
If you want to have fluffy hair when you wake up, you should use dry shampoo before going to bed. Dry shampoo helps women have dry, fluffy hair when they don’t have time to wash or blow-dry it. If you have curly hair, spray dry shampoo before going to bed, then twist or style it to make your hair look better.
Deodorant
According to experts, the best time to use deodorant is after evening shower. At this time, the skin is already cleaned and the body is less active. This helps the deodorant to penetrate the skin and maximize its effectiveness.
Products containing AHA and BHA
AHA and BHA are two active ingredients that help exfoliate the skin, deep clean, accelerate the skin’s regeneration and recovery process, and increase the skin’s sensitivity to sunlight. Therefore, they are recommended for use at night. In the morning, apply sunscreen before going outside to protect the skin.
