Your Night-time Routine

A night-time skincare routine should be equal parts ritual and routine, helping one transition from day time into a relaxing, restful state. Establishing a night-time skincare routine for yourself can help you achieve skin care goals throughout life.

Our skin experiences major shifts as we age, meaning we need a dynamic skin care routine that can tick a number of boxes including cleansing, toning, moisturizing, and anti-aging. In order to revive skin from a long day exposed to the elements, antioxidants and vitamins are a must in an effective routine.

Free radicals and oxidative damage

Each day, our bodies perform a variety of functions from breathing to digesting to metabolizing food in order to keep us alive. A consequence of these natural processes is the production of free radicals. We’re also exposed to these unstable molecules from external factors like pollution, industrial chemicals, cigarette smoke, and the like.

As the body attempts to restore its natural balance, it sets off a harmful chain reaction known as oxidative damage. This damage changes our skin’s equilibrium, exacerbating signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles, discoloration, and tautness. A nighttime skin care routine can encourage our skin back to its natural state and help mitigate the effects of exposure to free radicals.

Our skin at night

During the day, our skin performs all sorts of functions to protect what’s housed inside. As the body’s outermost layer, it is our first line of defense against harmful UVA and UVB rays, poor air quality, unhealthy microbes, and fluctuating temperatures. It’s constantly working for us without requiring much input on our end.

However, at night, our skin uses the downtime to recharge and restore its natural balance. The best nighttime skincare routine is one that assists our skin’s natural restorative processes. The skin’s repair system mirrors the rhythms of the sun, activating mechanisms that help reverse all the damage experienced each day. Your nighttime skincare routine order is important in helping the skin bounce back from daily harassment.

Defense and recovery

Antioxidants are nature’s answer to combating the harmful effects of pollutants. A diverse array of plant-based ingredients can help treat all sorts of skin-related issues. The RENIGHT line harnesses the power of Goji berries to fight against damage and aging from free radicals. High concentrations of vitamin A and vitamin C inspire cell turn over and can expose a fresher, more youthful appearance.

Goji berry can also combat inflammation triggered by lifestyle factors like diet, alcohol use, a lack of sleep, and more. Reducing inflammation facilitates a healthier, more vibrant appearance.

1. Cleanse, tone and exfoliate

The first step to any comprehensive nighttime skin care routine is removing the dirt and grime from the day. Moisturizers, makeup, SPF, and sweat can lead to the buildup of gunk that clogs pores, creates blackheads, and spurs breakouts. It’s especially important to cleanse with a natural, gentle face wash that is effective at removing makeup, dirt, and grime.

A facial toner helps remove remaining dirt and can prep the skin for hydrating products. Many alcohol-based toners can do more damage by throwing off the face’s natural PH. [ comfort zone ] toners work with your skin, not against it. Our soothing toners can be used in both morning and evening routines or throughout the day to refresh stressed-out skin.

Depending on your skin type, an exfoliating scrub may be included in your daily or weekly routine. After removing surface level dirt with a cleanser, wash with an exfoliating scrub to help slough off dead skin and reveal fresh, even skin. For those with sensitive skin, consider using an exfoliating cleanser on a weekly basis or every-other day.

2. Replace moisture

Some with acne prone skin can bulk at the thought of adding a cream, lotion, or oil on top of broken out zones and oily faces. However, replacing the moisture removed from cleansing and exfoliating is extremely beneficial and can help combat acne.

Our skin requires moisture to remain balanced and healthy. When there isn’t enough, it may ramp up production, causing oil glands to overproduce and clog pores. A supple yet lightweight cream like Renight Cream absorbs into the skin, hydrating dry, dull skin from the inside, out. This complete nighttime treatment is the perfect remedy to undernourished, stressed out skin and uses hydrolyzed tomatoes, hyaluronic acid, and Goji berry oil to deliver crucial moisture.

For those requiring additional moisture or wanting to treat problem areas with an ultra-effective product, face serums can penetrate deeply and treat your specific skin care concern. Many contain brightening agents that restore vitality and encourage a natural glow. Other serums can include higher concentrations of anti-aging ingredients like hyaluronic acid and can be applied to deep set wrinkles.

Renight face oil provides fantastic treatment for any and all skin types. Our body naturally produces oil to keep skin lubricated and protected. However, harsh climates, illness, aging, and chemically-laden products can strip skin of this natural moisture, expediting the aging process. Rich in fatty acids and vitamins, Renight Face Oil delivers an effective dose of moisture for particularly dry skin. Include in your nighttime skincare routine to facilitate a well-rested appearance each morning.

3. Combat aging

After cleansing, toning, exfoliating, and moisturizing, the skin’s surface is prepped and ready to receive products that help reduce signs of aging. Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes may be first to take the stage, following my smile lines around the lips.

These sensitive areas require specialty products that are both gentle and effective. Skin boosters are highly concentrated formulas created to target specific problems. From reducing under eye bags to evening out the skin tone, face serums include varying combinations of vitamins, fatty acids, antioxidants, and oils that work together to correct skin issues.

For those who want to specifically treat problem areas, incorporate a skin booster to your anti-aging, nighttime routine.

4. Detoxify and relax

To amplify the effects of your skincare routine, take special care of your skin with a face mask. Both RENIGHT line masks target problem areas by infusing the skin with moisture all night long. Soft, supple, and hydrated skin looks attractive and youthful while dried out, uneven, or lackluster skin can quickly age us. Our nighttime masks work to restore moisture by giving the skin much needed nutrients.

Macadamia nut oil, vitamin E, goji berry oil, and fatty acids give the skin what it craves so that it can operate to the best of its ability. A strong defense can keep us healthy, thriving, and vibrant. Masks can be applied weekly or incorporated in a nighttime skincare routine for skin that is especially dry, stressed out, and tired.
