Ingredients that work while you sleep
Ever wondered what the difference is between day and night products and whether or not you really need that night cream/treatment/serum? One of the main reasons why we recommend including a night product in your skin routine is because of the difference in ingredients and formulation.
Your skin has an amazing ability to heal and renew itself, but it can only do this effectively during sleep. This is why using night products formulated with the right ingredients can help yield better results than using the same product from your day time routine. Not all night products are created equal however, so we’ve compiled a list of ingredients you should look out for next time you’re on the market for a new night time treatment:
Botanical Oils/Essential Oils (Evening Primrose Oil, Rose Oil, Argan Oil, Rosehip Seed Oil, Jasmine Oil, Carrot Seed Oil) – all botanical/essential oils have the ability to hydrate, oxygenate and detoxify the skin.
Peptides (Palmitoyl Tripeptides, Oilgopeptides) – nourishes the skin during its resting period and stimulates collagen and elastin to prevent and reduce signs of ageing.
Glucosamine – exfoliates skin, boosts collagen production and elastin.
Vitamin A (Retinol) – antioxidant, increases collagen production, reduces and prevents signs of ageing.
Vitamin C (Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate) – increases skin hydration and elasticity and improves hyperpigmentation.
Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate) – an antioxidant that also moisturizes and soften skin.
Pro-Vitamin B5 (Panthenol) – reduces the appearance of ageing, exfoliates and promotes skin cells regeneration.
Red Seaweed – rich in beta-carotene, which has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Bamboo and Pea Extract – enhance hyaluronic acid formation, increasing hydration, plumpness and suppleness.
Genestin – a terrific antioxidant and antiflammatory.
Hyaluronic Acid – a brilliant humectant to keep the skin moist and hydrated.
