A good night’s sleep is vital to help your body and mind wake feeling refreshed but the power of a good night time skincare regime should never be underestimated to ensure a fresh, flawless complexion.

Throughout the day the skin is in constant contact with air pollutants and germs whilst also having to fight off free radicals and protect against harmful UV rays which can lead to a dull, dry look come evening. It is essential to teach your clients the importance of a nightly skincare regime to not only maintain the results achieved through professional treatments but also to give the skin the best chance of undoing the damage it faces during the day.

NIGHTTIME SKINCARE REGIME ADVICE

Clean & Cleanse

During the night our skin works it hardest to nourish and repair. By not following a defined skincare regime, your clients are missing an opportunity to help their skin look and feel its best. Starting with a thorough cleanse will not only aid in rejuvenating and refreshing their skin but will also help keep signs of ageing at bay, improve skin tone and reduce the appearance of blemishes.

Prior to your clients chosen facial, you will complete an assessment of their skin to establish their skin type as well as the problems and concerns they wish to address. Take this time as a chance to recommend retail products for use at home and explain the benefits of choosing products that are targeted to combat specific concerns. Help them choose from the Gentle range to calm and nourish dry skin, the Active range to balance and refresh combination skin and the Clarifying collection to refine oily skin.

Moisturise

Moisturising the skin at night is essential for targeted hydration and nourishment. Advising your clients to Incorporate a night cream into their skincare regime will not only help to thoroughly hydrate the skin but will also provide a variety of anti-ageing benefits.

We recommend the MONU Extra Rich Night Cream.

Exfoliation & Masks

It is important to talk to your clients through each step of the facial they will be receiving, highlighting the benefits of incorporating these elements into their daily regime. Including regular exfoliation into their night time skincare regime will remove the build up of dead skin cells, promoting a brighter complexion and increasing the absorption rate of other products.

Serums & Special Care

During the night the skins renewal process, or keratinisation, is at its most active, meaning the skin is more receptive to product application. It also have the ability to accomplish better cell renewal to reverse the damage it has faced during the day so advising clients to incorporate specialised products is sure to give their skin a helping hand to regenerate.

For those who suffer from an oily complexion, their skin is sure to respond best to a facial oil applied at night.

Boosters and serums specially designed for use at night offer another great addition to your clients’ regime. Many include intelligent ingredients like Retinol and Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA) that are more difficult to use during the day but will have a big impact on the skin overnight. Why not advise our AHA Night and Day Treatment to effectively resurface the skin by softening and smoothing the skins micro-relief.
