Each lady, depending on her skin type and personal needs for cosmetic procedures, develops an individual care program that allows her to look good.
It is necessary to include a variety of products in your care program: from the most delicate cleansing preparations to products that help eliminate various kinds of problems. The topic of the article is night skin care.
Night care is a completely different matter. After all, you need to somehow take care of your face while the body is resting? Correctly selected night cosmetics help solve care problems.
Peculiarities
During sleep, not only rest occurs, but also renewal and restoration of various tissues. Therefore, sleep is the optimal period for the cosmetics used to work, as they say, “to the fullest.” Of course, before you treat yourself to a new cream or serum, make sure it's right for you.
The priority is individual selection of drugs for specific problems. If you use this approach, you will not be aware of problems such as wrinkles or loose, sagging skin for a long time.
And there should be no excuses that you are tired and have no time (read: lazy) to take care of yourself! Nightly facial skin care in summer and winter will help you look good.
How does the skin work at night?
Night care has a nourishing and rejuvenating effect, and is crucial for combating the appearance of wrinkles on the facial skin.
At night, valuable regenerative processes occur in it. That's why you need to know what to do before you go to bed so you can wake up in the morning with a radiant, flawless complexion. During sleep, the skin restores its functions to look good. It repairs damage and starts regeneration processes. At night, during sleep, cells divide ten times faster than during the day. This increases collagen production, destroys free radicals and improves blood circulation.
At night, the skin's protective barrier is weaker. Sound scary? Nothing like this. This means that the skin can more actively and fully absorb the substances applied to it and use them more effectively. Scientists are even able to give clocks of when these specific processes occur in the skin. The science that studies these processes is called chronocosmetics. It looks at how specific body actions affect the skin, and which cosmetic ingredients are best suited for a given time of day. And also what to do to improve skin health.
What your skin needs
Are you not sure that the products you use today are completely suitable for you? In this case, our tips will help you choose the right cosmetic products. So, the rules for night facial care.
The main point is to decide on your skin type. This is the most important thing when choosing cosmetics. An error in “diagnosis” can result in your entire treatment strategy being ineffective. The main factors that are taken into account when assessing the type of leather.
- Humidity.
- Degree of sensitivity.
- Fat content.
It should be taken into account that for various reasons, skin type may change (seasonal changes, moving to a different climate zone, age, etc.). At the same time, the skin is not “silent”. It sends signals to its owner in the form of acne, the appearance of age spots, and peeling.
The texture of the skin may change and the complexion may deteriorate. If such changes take place, you will have to reconsider your entire arsenal of caring cosmetics.
Use a night face cream
Every day after an evening shower or bath, you should apply a night cream to your face, which, while you sleep, will take care of cell restoration and saturate your skin with the vitamins, acids and microelements it needs. Try to apply the cream in the direction of the massage lines - first on the cheeks, and then towards the ears and then towards the temples. On the forehead, the cream should be applied from the bridge of the nose to the temples in a circular motion, and on the chin and neck, try to apply the cream with the outer side of the palm, moving from bottom to top. When applying the cream, you can do a light facial massage by lightly tapping the skin with your fingertips. Remove any cream that has not been absorbed with a clean napkin. For the skin around the eyes, choose products specifically designed for this purpose, since the skin in these areas is the thinnest and most sensitive.
Night care, depending on skin type
So, the diagnosis was made correctly. Skin types are different, and therefore their needs will be different. What is night care for different skin types?
Normal
Normal skin is characterized by a balanced content of fat and moisture. Pores on normal skin are hardly noticeable, there are no large defects.
To properly care for normal skin, you can focus on products with an anti-aging effect.
Fat
Oily skin is prone to acne formation. The pores are enlarged, and periodically there are exacerbations in the form of blackheads or acne. Provoking factors can be stressful situations, fluctuations in external temperature or hormonal disorders.
Optimal for night care for oily skin are products with a soothing effect and minimal risk of clogging pores.
Dry
Compared to normal and, especially, oily skin, the fat and moisture content in dry skin is minimal. Ladies with dry skin do not know about enlarged pores. The pores are completely invisible. But the skin is characterized by excessive sensitivity to weather changes, indoor microclimate and hormonal levels of the body.
The main problems are a high risk of early wrinkles and a rapid decrease in the elasticity of the skin. Therefore, before falling into the arms of Morpheus, nourish your skin with a composition with nourishing and moisturizing effects.
Night facial care with oils is also suitable. You cannot use cosmetics with fragrances.
Combined
The most common skin type, which changes especially easily due to external influences. As a rule, the skin on the cheekbones, cheeks and near the eyes is dry. And in the T-zone, pimples, blackheads, enlarged pores and oily shine, characteristic of oily skin, are present in all their glory.
Selective care is especially important here. Nourish dehydrated areas with products for dry skin, and for the T-zone, save products for oily skin. There are also universal overnight facial care products called multimasks.
Sensitive skin
Entire volumes have probably been written about nighttime care for problem skin. The needs of sensitive skin can be divided into 3 areas: soothing, nourishing and protection. In reality, the nursing program is much more extensive, but this is the minimum that is needed.
Avoid products with fragrances or those overloaded with various ingredients. If you neglect this, there is almost a 100% chance that you will earn a “bonus” in the form of dryness, tightness and itching.
Mature
With age, skin loses elasticity and becomes less hydrated. Therefore, night care for facial skin after 30 years has its own characteristics. Pigment spots appear and wrinkles become more numerous.
When choosing night care products, pay attention to anti-aging masks and creams, which should be combined with special serums and hardware procedures in a beauty salon.
Do it right! Korean evening care for dry, normal, combination and oily skin
Hello! Last Wednesday, we dealt with this mysterious multi-stage system of Korean morning care. And not simple, but for each skin type at once! For dry, normal, combination and oily skin.
And today I will tell you about evening care. And it differs not only in the time of day, but also in greater care. During the day, not only sebum and remnants of former luxurious makeup (or just makeup) accumulate on the skin, but also street exhaust, dust, and pollution. The skin is exposed to dry air, wind, and sun. In a word, it is important not only to cleanse, but also to restore losses and recharge with vitamins so that the skin is “reborn” at night.
So let's get started. Below, as in the last article, I will consider 4 care options: basic for any skin type, advanced - also for any, and two advanced - for dry/normal, and for combination/skin
BASIC CARE FOR ALL SKIN TYPES
Basic does not mean bad and inferior. It’s simply the most versatile, and is suitable for those who are tired or simply do not want to spend a long time in the bathroom. It has only 5 steps, which under certain conditions can turn into 2.
Step 1. Cleansing off makeup . Now Korean manufacturers produce simply a huge number of different types of cleaners. Liquid hydrophilic oils, hydrophilic jellies, cleansing creams, hybrid foam oils, oxygen gels and cleansers. The type most familiar to our girls is the classic hydrophilic oil. But I sincerely advise you to try other types. So, we've cleaned off the makeup, now it's time to proceed to the second step.
Step 2. Cleansing foam . Regular soap foam. Whipped or gel. Or thick. Something you are used to using every day. It will cleanse any remaining impurities and make the skin breathe. And here you have the option to combine both first steps in one product - use hydrophilic foam oil. Hybrid, as I call it. The bottles usually say “Oil to foam”, and more and more brands are releasing such products. For example, Holika Holika All Kill, Secret Key CC Bubble Oil to Foam, The Yeon Lotus Charcoal Oil to foam, Labiotte Chou Garden Oil to foam... these are just a small part. The hybrid combines the effectiveness of an oil that dissolves makeup and a foam that serves as a cleanser. True, those with super-dry skin need to be careful - usually such products are not very kind to the skin.
Step 3. Moisturizing toner . As in morning care - no additional special effects. Moisturizing only. Every skin needs it. But you need a toner - it will at least bring your skin pH back to normal after washing and remove residual water.
Step 4. Essence . A light substance, which in terms of the concentration of vitamin ingredients is the weakest and most unobtrusive. Refresh, nourish, calm the conscience.
Step 5. Emulsion or cosmetic oil . It’s also completely easy to care for, and here you choose what you enjoy using. Emulsion - if the skin is oily or normal, oil - if dry.
An alternative is All-in-one products, for example SCINIC All-in-one Ampoule, or the same jars from FarmStay. They will replace steps 3, 4 and 5 - after all, these are products that combine several types of cosmetics at once.
Got it? Your evening care can be complete and you can spend just a couple of minutes on it. Isn't this a miracle? True, you won’t achieve any special improvements in your skin if you have problems, but the basics are quite enough!
ADVANCED BASIC CARE FOR ALL SKIN TYPES
The difference between an extended base and a simple base is two things:
Between the toner (step 3) and the emulsion/oil (step 5), you remove the essence, but first add a fabric moisturizing mask, or a mask with your own indications, and then apply the serum. And at the end - after all the procedures, use a night mask (sleeping pack). The mask and serum (a more concentrated vitamin substance) - are also selected according to the indications - your own. If you need whitening, choose whitening products. Need to soothe your skin? In general, you understand. And the night mask in this case is always aimed at hydration. In total, your extended care should consist of 7 steps:
1. Makeup cleanser 2. Foam 3. Moisturizing toner 4. Sheet mask 5. Serum 6. Emulsion/oil 7. Night mask
ADVANCED CARE FOR DRY AND NORMAL SKIN
Wow! 9 or 10 steps of advanced care are no joke! But the skin will respond with gratitude; it’s worth spending a little more time on it.
So, dry and normal skin is skin that requires hydration and gentle treatment.
Step 1. Cleansing off makeup . I highly do not recommend hybrid oils as a makeup remover. It is better to use classic or solid hydrophilic oil. It is softer, more tender, more nutritious. This is also an option for colder months.
Step 2. Facial foam . As soft as possible, whipped (mainly in the form of mousse)
Step 3. Low pH (3-5) will restore your own skin balance after contact with water
Step 4. Skin serum with AHA acids . They are suitable for renewing dry and sensitive skin. After this, wait 10-15 minutes until the acid serum reaches its maximum effect.
Step 5. Moisturizing toner . Yes, yes, it’s surprising, but after the serum we apply the toner again, because during this time the skin has managed to dry out and it needs banal hydration
Step 6. Fabric mask (or hydrogel, for example). Any at your discretion. In addition to some of their functions, they all moisturize
Step 7. Serum or ampoule with functions according to your own indications.
Step 8: Face Cream and Eye Cream (if you are using one)
Step 9. Overnight face mask
Step 10. Spot care . Spot care is an optional step, and it means eradicating skin imperfections such as age spots, post-acne and acne. There are many products for such care in Korean cosmetics.
ADVANCED CARE FOR COMBINATION AND OILY SKIN
The procedure for oily skin differs from the previous treatment in only 2 points: in step No. 4, owners of problematic and oily skin use suitable BHA acids, which reduce the formation of sebum, narrow pores and treat inflammation. And also in step No. 8, the face cream is changed to a lighter emulsion!
And remember that not a single treatment, even advanced care, will be effective if you don’t sleep enough time, preventing the skin from recovering. Good night!
Night facial care strategy
In total, it has 4 main stages, during which you can get rid of skin dullness and give it a beautiful radiant look.
Cleaning
Many ladies neglect this stage, and completely in vain. If you are careless or skip cleaning, all other caring procedures may be useless. There is only one reason: they will not be able to penetrate deeper than the uppermost layers of the epidermis.
If the skin is problematic, cleansing is the main step in the fight against acne, inflammation and excess oil. Sebum, coupled with decorative cosmetics, serves as a fertile environment for bacteria, and this, in turn, is fraught with the appearance of acne. Effective alcohol-free cleansers can help avoid this problem.
For cleaning, you can use products with a scrubbing effect, but without abrasive elements. A mild detergent combined with an electric brush gives a good effect.
Toning
Good moisturizing and nourishing of the skin is impossible without the toning stage. The purpose of tonics is to normalize the pH balance of the skin, remove toxins, and reduce pores. In addition, the tonic prepares the skin to receive the nutrients contained in serums, masks and creams.
Good tonics are not cheap. Therefore, if you cannot afford the expensive drug, consider rose or rice water options. These are excellent products with a tonic effect. Moreover, they are very inexpensive.
Hydration
It is advisable to choose a cream that would maintain optimal hydration even after sleep. This will allow you to avoid wrinkles longer, improve your complexion, and increase skin elasticity. Regardless of age, dry skin looks worse than hydrated.
A good night cream is a complex composition of many ingredients, each of which is necessary in its own way. These are extracts from medicinal plants, anti-aging components (for example, hyaluronic acid), ordinary and essential oils, and organic acids.
Healing procedures
They are individual and aimed at eliminating specific problems (inflamed areas, wrinkles, excessive pigmentation). Practice shows that correctly selected remedies turn out to be literally miraculous. Facial care at night using folk remedies also helps.
Instructions for evening skin care
- Always! Always wash off the day's makeup from your face before going to bed.
- Always wash your hands before removing makeup. Thoroughly. Then, using a rich cream or milk (cosmetic), carefully, smoothly and without unnecessary friction and stretching of the skin, remove the remnants of makeup.
- Prepare in advance the water you will use to wash your face and any caring mixtures. For example, dissolve 1/4 tsp. soda in 1 liter. water. Definitely boiled! You can also cleanse and nourish your facial skin with a mixture of milk and water (equal proportions are taken).
- A second before removing moisture from your face with a towel after washing your face, run your palms over it with light patting movements. Move your fingertips in the direction from the chin to the frontal part of the head, from the middle of the forehead to the temples. We waited a little and applied the night cream also with our fingertips. This facial skin care technique is the simplest procedure.
- Before applying the night cream, go through it with a scrub. Your skin type matters! Choose your remedies relative to it.
- In the cold winter and autumn seasons, cleanse your skin using vegetable oils, and then the skin will become velvety. Here's one trick: heat a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil in a water bath. With one part we wipe the skin of the face and neck using a disk or a cotton ball, with the other we soak the disk thoroughly in natural oil and begin to move it along the facial contour without stretching the skin. You need to start from the neck. You also shouldn’t forget about eyebrows and lips. You need to go through them too. We hold on for a few minutes and boldly wash off the oil with cotton wool discs, which need to be moistened generously with black tea or boiled water in combination with any natural, preferably freshly squeezed, juice. Repeat the rinsing procedure several times until the oil is completely removed from the skin.
- Sour (not acidified!) milk has also proven itself to be excellent in cleansing the skin. It can be used throughout the year. If your skin type is oily, then you don’t have to remove the milk before going to bed. Then apply the cream to the neck and eye area. Keep in mind that sour milk can only be used in the absence of inflammatory processes, abrasions, wounds and ulcers.
There are also easy-to-use techniques that do an excellent job of cleansing the skin and caring for it. After one month of use, we take a three-week break, after which the procedures can be started again.
Take the crumb of rye bread and soak it in water. Apply the resulting mass to the face with light massaging movements. If the skin is problematic and oily, you need to add baking soda (1 tsp). As soon as you feel that the soaked bread has begun to settle down, wash your face. The water should be warm. If desired, bread can be replaced with wheat or oat bran. Having crushed them using a meat grinder, dilute a couple of tablespoons (a serving for one-time washing) with warm boiled water until it becomes a thin paste. This can be done even in the palms of your hands.
- It is necessary to wash, cleanse and nourish the skin at least an hour before going to bed. If the evening cream is not completely absorbed half an hour after application, remove it with a cotton pad or napkin.
- Before going to bed, be sure to ventilate the bedroom. Then the skin will rest from daytime makeup and breathe freshness. This is especially true for houses with sealed PVC windows or double-glazed windows made of wood. As a rule, such rooms are poorly ventilated, which leads to the accumulation of moisture due to stagnant air.
As you can see, the tips are very easy to apply. By following them, you will unnoticeably look refreshed, your skin will cleanse and begin to delight you with elasticity and radiance.
A woman’s face is a kind of “showcase” of appearance. That is why it is necessary to take into account the stages of facial skin care when performing daily cosmetic procedures. After all, the face is exposed to external and internal conditions.
Malfunctions in the functioning of the body, sleepless nights, exposure to wind or, on the contrary, the rays of the sun, all this is reflected as a carbon copy on delicate skin. For this reason, caring for her must be systematic, competent and step-by-step.
There are some basic, universal rules that apply to absolutely any skin type (this includes the stages of applying some cosmetics). But the rest of the care needs to be tailored strictly to yourself.
We will help you understand what your skin requires!
Night care for eyes and lips
It will help you avoid such troubles as swelling around the eyes and chapped lips. Eyelashes also require some attention (it is advisable to pamper them with castor oil, which is sold in every pharmacy and costs a penny). You can apply Vaseline oil to your eyelashes.
For nighttime lip care, use hygienic lipstick or a special lip balm. If you have overdone it a little and applied too much cream or balm, do not remove it immediately, do it after waking up.
And the most important advice. Don’t be lazy to spend 15-20 minutes on your evening care ritual, but the whole next day you can enjoy the wonderful effect of radiant health and youthful skin. Of course, provided that you follow the wakefulness and sleep schedule.

Taking care of your body
After an evening shower, be sure to use nourishing cream or body milk. During sleep, the skin loses moisture, and the cream helps to retain it. Special oils for the skin will also be useful, especially if you have dry skin.
Both cream and oil are applied in circular massage movements, first to the décolleté and shoulders, then to the skin of the abdomen, thighs and buttocks. This massage should take no more than 10 minutes.
To achieve the effect of velvet skin, you can make an oil compress an hour before bedtime. First, cleanse your body with a scrub, then apply warm vegetable oil and rub it thoroughly. Wrap the body with cling film and a towel on top. You need to keep this compress for 40 minutes, after which remove excess oil with a napkin.
