Why this worksDry skin often lacks moisture and essential oils, leading to flakiness and discomfort. A dedicated nighttime routine can help restore hydration while you sleep, allowing for better absorption of nourishing ingredients. By layering products effectively, you can create a protective barrier that locks in moisture and promotes skin repair.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Cleanse Gently Start with a hydrating cleanser to remove makeup and impurities without stripping your skin's natural oils. Use lukewarm water and avoid harsh scrubs to keep your skin barrier intact.
  2. Apply Toner or Essence Use an alcohol-free toner or hydrating essence to prep your skin for better absorption of subsequent products. Look for ingredients like rose water or glycerin, which provide an extra layer of moisture.
  3. Layer with Serum Choose a serum rich in hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid or squalane. Apply it while your skin is still slightly damp to lock in moisture and enhance hydration levels.
  4. Moisturise Thoroughly Follow up with a rich moisturiser to seal in the serum and provide deep hydration. Look for creams containing ceramides or shea butter for added nourishment.
  5. Seal with Oil (Optional) If your skin is feeling particularly parched, consider adding a facial oil as the final step. This can help create a barrier against moisture loss overnight.

Where people go wrong

Many people skip toner, thinking it's unnecessary when dealing with dry skin. However, toners can greatly enhance hydration. Also, using hot water during cleansing can exacerbate dryness, so always stick to lukewarm. Lastly, don't forget to patch-test any new products before full use.

The pro moveTry using a humidifier in your bedroom to maintain moisture levels in the air while you sleep.
