On average, a person needs seven to nine hours of sleep. During those hours, our bodies go through different stages, repairing and recharging itself. Studies have shown that lack of quality sleep can lead to crankiness, lack of focus, and potential health problems. This is the same with our skin.
Not visible to the naked eye, the skin goes through several processes in a day. By day, it's all about protection. At night, it focuses on intense repair and regeneration. As a result, it can let its guard down, making the skin's barrier more permeable. This means, our skin can experience water loss while we sleep. Therefore, what you use on your skin at night makes a huge difference.
Just like applying SPF in the daytime, whether you're simply indoors the whole day or you need to run out for a while for errands, you need to protect your skin against the harmful effects of the UV rays. And choosing the right products for your nighttime skin-care routine can give you that protection you need.
