A nighttime regimen is important to optimize your skin’s nocturnal recovery. While you’re asleep, the rest of your body is hard at work doing damage control from the day. Here are the ingredients that make the most of your body’s restorative state, working their renewing benefits overnight.
LACTIC ACID
“Lactic acid is one of the gentler alpha hydroxy acids, but it’s just as effective: It dissolves the glue holding dead skin cells together and that leads to an enhanced glow, even out skin tone, and smooth texture.” Dr. Timm Golueke
RIBOFLAVIN
“Resveratrol has calming effect, thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties. It’s also an antioxidant and can actually help repair damage racked up during the day as well as defend skin against free radicals.” Dr. Timm Golueke
CHLOROPHYLL
“Chlorophyll is a powerful antioxidant with both anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties providing excellent health benefits for your skin. It helps against enlarged pores and impurities. Additionally, it inhibits the breakdown of collagen.” Dr. Timm Golueke
