Good night, sleep tight

(0 votes)

In the morning, you might cleanse, tone and moisturise, but your evening skin care routine requires more than just a quick swipe with a flannel.

In fact, your skin needs additional tender, loving care before you turn in for the night!

During the day, environmental factors are battling against our skin and breaking down the structural components which keep our skin tight and firm.

Elastin, which is one of these components, is primarily composed of cross-linked fibers to form a durable, resilient web.

In facial skin, this elastin web helps to keep skin flexible but tight, providing a bounce-back reaction to its normal shape as it stretches to accommodate normal activities like talking.

As skin ages, the natural cross-linking of elastin fibers is reduced. At night, while you sleep, the skin works to repair and restore its structural components, and actually "opens up" to allow creams and serums to absorb more readily.

Check out our selection of night creams, to suit most budgets. Sweet dreams!
