What does our skin do at night?
During the day, the skin plays a protective role against external aggressions , such as the sun's rays, pollution or tobacco, which promote the formation of free radicals.
But during the night, the biological rhythm changes: the skin goes into regeneration mode, it rests. It is less exposed to external aggressions, which which allows it to repair itself effectively. This regeneration occurs through a process of cell division. As they divide, skin cells multiply, up to three times more than during the day.
During the night, we also notice an increase in blood microcirculation: this is what gives the complexion its radiance after a good night's sleep.
If you don't get enough sleep, your skin's biological rhythm may become disrupted: this will lead to an alteration in the effectiveness of the skin's protective and repairing functions.
Better receptivity to cosmetic treatments
At night, the pores open: the skin becomes more permeable and receptive to moisturizing treatments and correctors and anti-wrinkles. This is why you must carefully choose the care you give to your skin during your evening beauty routine!
The effect of sleep on dark circles and bags
Lack of sleep can lead to fluid accumulation under the eyes, which results in the appearance of dark circles and bags. If you don't get enough sleep, the blood circulation around the eyes is impacted, giving a tired and puffy appearance to your eyes.
To reduce the appearance of dark circles and bags, it is essential to sleep at least 7 to 9 hours per night.
Sleep makes the complexion radiant.
Sleep makes your skin bright and glowing. When you sleep, your body produces new skin cells, which contribute to a fresh and glowing complexion. On the other hand, a lack of sleep can lead to tired skin and a dull, gray complexion because dead cells are not replaced regularly.
Sleep has antioxidant actions.
During sleep, our body produces melatonin , a hormone that acts as a powerful antioxidant, thus protecting our skin from damage caused by free radicals. Therefore, lack of sleep can accelerate the skin aging process . It can also cause an increase in oxidative stress, which can damage the skin's collagen and elastin, leading to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Combat nighttime transepidermal water loss
Transepidermal water loss is the process by which water escapes from our body. In general, it is most important at night, because this is the time when the skin works the hardest.
This loss of water makes the skin more sensitive to fine lines from dehydration: the skin marks more easily, it appears dull and this can even cause imperfections.
That's why it's essential to strengthen your skin barrier to prevent water from escaping. Your nighttime skincare routine helps you with this challenge!
What beauty routine to adopt in the evening?
Clean and remove makeup from your face with moisturizing products
Makeup, pollution, bacteria: all day long, the skin is exposed to foreign bodies that accumulate over the hours, and which promote the appearance of pimples, give a grayish complexion and accelerate skin aging. It is therefore essential to take the time to purify the skin with a makeup remover lotion every evening before going to bed, in order to allow it to regenerate properly.
In order to regain a luminous complexion, also make sure to cleanse your face every evening with a purifying gel , which eliminates impurities accumulated during the day. This Grangettes gel offers a gentle exfoliating action, which eliminates dead skin cells and promotes cell renewal . It eliminates excess sebum, and leaves your complexion luminous and rested.
