Nighttime Skincare: The Best Products to Use Before Bed
Did you know that between the hours of 9pm and 4am, a range of processes that take place in your skin, from cell regeneration to skin renewal to skin repair, accelerate? This is exactly why nighttime skincare is so important. Give your skin what it needs before you hit the sack and you’ll be able to make the most of this crucial period to ensure healthy-looking skin.
How can you do this? By adding these nighttime skincare products from Vivo Per Lei to your evening skincare routine:
The Collagen Foaming Cleanser
While you may be able to get away with a mild cleanser in the mornings, your nighttime skincare routine requires a little more power. By this point, your skin will have picked up so many toxins and other impurities over the course of the day. Your own sebum, sweat, and dead skin cells will be mingling with these too, resulting in a layer of grime that needs to be removed if you want your other skincare products to be able to work properly.
This is where the Vivo Per Lei Collagen Foaming Cleanser comes in. Foaming cleansers are a fantastic way to end the day. They provide an intense cleanse and, so long as you opt for a formula without any sulfates, just like this one, they won’t dry your skin out.
This cleanser, however, takes things to the next level with its standout ingredients. It’s formulated to leave the skin feeling stronger and more resilient. Peptides, vitamin E, and soluble collagen help it to do just that. Meanwhile, vitamins A and C can be found in this cleanser too. The latter has been used in the form of magnesium ascorbyl phosphate. Studies have shown that this vitamin C derivative is more effective than any of the others when it comes to lightening the look of discoloration and dark spots.
The Magnetic Deep Hydration Mask
Skin barrier function decreases in the evenings. This essentially means that the skin becomes more permeable, which is crucial information for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it means that your nighttime skincare products will have an easier time penetrating your skin than your daytime skincare products. This provides the perfect opportunity to make the most of powerful actives.
The downside to the decline in barrier function at night is that moisture retention suffers. Your skin barrier is responsible for keeping moisture trapped in the skin. When it isn’t working to the best of its abilities, moisture loss increases, contributing to dehydration.
The Vivo Per Lei Magnetic Deep Hydration Mask addresses both of these points. For starters, as you can tell from its name, hydration is what it excels at. It’s packed with ingredients that will boost your skin’s moisture levels, from peptides and coral seaweed extract to hydrating plant oils.
It’s also loaded with antioxidants. Once you remove the mask with the provided magnet, those powerful ingredients will be left behind on your skin. Massage this silky blend into your skin and you’ll be encouraging the absorption of some of the best antioxidants around. Resveratrol is one, with this ingredient revered for how it counters the appearance of free radical damage. It’s joined by a number of antioxidant-rich plant oils, including hemp seed and marula.
The 24K Gold Caviar Serum
With evenings being the best time to apply active ingredients to your skin, your nighttime skincare routine should ideally include a couple of serums. Layering multiple serums onto your skin can be extremely beneficial. This is especially the case if you have a few different visible skin concerns you want to tackle. Pick serums that are able to hone in on each one and your skincare routine will be covering all bases.
One serum that lends itself particularly well to evening usage is the Vivo Per Lei 24K Gold Caviar Serum. There are a few star ingredients in this formula, with retinol being one of them. This vitamin A derivative is famous for how it can significantly improve the appearance of skin aging. In fact, it’s one of the best ingredients out there for doing just that. Use it regularly and it will reduce the appearance of wrinkles, tighten and firm the look of loose skin, and lighten the visibility of dark spots.
Retinol works best when it’s combined with other antioxidants, of which there are plenty in this serum. Extracts from snow mushroom, fig, caviar, seaweed, and chrysanthemum provide a vast spectrum of antioxidants and other skin-loving compounds. At the same time, this serum also contains a few ingredients that soothe the feeling of irritation and inflammation. From oat to amino acids to sodium hyaluronate, these ingredients will balance out the potency of the retinol. This will allow your skin to soak up the benefits of the ingredient without having to deal with the feeling of sensitivity.
The Aloe Soothing Facial Serum
We’ve already mentioned a few of the changes that occur in the skin once skin barrier function slows down in the evenings. However, one that we haven’t yet discussed is increased sensitivities. With your skin barrier being responsible for keeping toxins and other irritants away from your skin, your skin then becomes more susceptible to these as the day draws to a close.
If your skin often feels irritated in the evenings, your nighttime skincare routine can work to combat this. Rather than opting for super-powered serums with high-strength actives, opt for gentler formulas that have been designed to soothe the feeling of inflammation, just like the Vivo Per Lei Aloe Soothing Facial Serum.
There’s no disputing how aloe vera is incredible at calming the complexion. It has been used for this purpose for centuries. This is also why it’s a go-to ingredient when people are suffering from sunburns. The added bonus is that aloe vera is also intensely hydrating. It boasts humectant properties, enabling it to bind moisture to the skin.
In this serum, those hydrating capabilities are enhanced by the inclusion of sodium hyaluronate and silk amino acids. They’ll lower the feeling of inflammation and will keep your skin barrier feeling supported.
The Collagen Eye Firming Cream
The eye area can often struggle overnight. The skin here is far thinner than the skin elsewhere on the face. This means that it’s already more prone to dehydration and damage. Once skin barrier function starts to drop in the evenings, this area then becomes even more vulnerable.
This is why adding an eye cream to your nighttime skincare routine can make such a difference to your complexion. Give your eye area the extra TLC that it needs and you won’t have to worry about waking up with eyes that look puffy or shadowed.
This is why we created the Vivo Per Lei Collagen Eye Firming Cream. It’s a multi-tasking eye cream that’s able to tackle the appearance of a few different eye-related skin concerns. Firstly, it ensures that your eye area remains hydrated throughout the night. This is thanks to a blend of sodium hyaluronate, jojoba seed oil, hemp seed oil, and collagen. These ingredients will also give your eye area a firmer and fuller feel.
While those ingredients are bumping up your skin’s moisture levels, niacinamide and licorice root extract will work to lighten the look of discoloration. If you’ve been struggling with dark circles that are down to hyperpigmentation, this eye cream will soon have your skin looking brighter and more even. Those same ingredients, assisted by the likes of grapefruit extract, black mulberry extract, and other botanicals, will also repair the appearance of aging. They’ll give your eye area a smoother and more elastic finish.
The Marine Revitalize Leave On Hydrating Mask
Face masks are a great addition to a nighttime skincare routine. While most masks need to be removed after 10-15 minutes, some masks are designed to be left on the skin for longer. These leave-on masks can sometimes provide greater benefits due to this extended contact with the skin.
If you don’t yet have a leave-on face mask, the Vivo Per Lei Marine Revitalize Leave On Hydrating Mask would be a great choice. Take a look at its ingredient list and you’ll immediately be impressed. It’s absolutely brimming with intensely hydrating and antioxidant-rich marine botanicals. Extracts from a variety of different algae can be found in this mask, combined with a few land-based plant extracts.
Like any good face mask, this formula works to hydrate the skin too. All of those seaweed extracts function as moisture-binding humectants. This is enhanced by the inclusion of sodium hyaluronate. This ingredient, as we’ve already discussed, is one of the best hydrating ingredients out there!
Keep in mind that this overnight mask shouldn’t be used daily. Instead, save it for once or twice a week – the evenings when your complexion could do with an extra boost!
The Snow Mushroom Night Cream
Other than a cleanser, all of the other products that we’ve featured above, from serums to masks to eye creams, are optional. If you’re trying to keep your nighttime skincare routine as minimal as possible, you may choose not to add those in. However, one other product that’s definitely a non-negotiable is a night cream.
While day creams are designed to keep your skin feeling safe from environmental aggressors, night creams are all about catering to the various changes that your skin undergoes while you sleep, with the Vivo Per Lei Snow Mushroom Night Cream doing this beautifully.
Snow mushroom extract is the star of this formula. It’s a wonderfully hydrating ingredient that also soothes the feeling of inflammation and reduces the appearance of skin aging. In this moisturizer, it’s joined by several other hydrating superstars, including polyglutamic acid and sodium hyaluronate. This cream packs a punch when it comes to active ingredients too. With a blend of retinol and other powerful antioxidants, it will help to counter the look of free radical damage.
