When it comes to great skin, routines are everything—especially with nighttime skincare. Before you sleep is a great time to pamper your skin, since excess sebum, sunscreen, pollution, and other impurities build up all day.
Beyond your normal, everyday morning regimen, there are a few things you can do to really revive the look of your skin at night. Those pivotal hours while you're sleeping are a perfect time to tackle your skincare concerns with powerful ingredients. Think of it as low-maintenance application with high-impact ingredients.
Wondering where to start? Follow our guide to reviving the look of your skin while you sleep.
Pillow talk:
Revive your skin
while you sleep
Embrace the leave-on mask.
Smart Clinical Repair Overnight Recovery Cream+Mask
One of our favorite steps to night skincare routines (after your normal cleansing and moisturizing, of course) is masking. One easy way to amp up your skin at night? Our new Smart Clinical Repair Overnight Recovery Cream+Mask, which works its magic while you sleep.
Peptides help strengthen skin to fight the look of wrinkles, while 12% hyaluronic acid solution helps hydrate to plump skin and smooth the look of fine, dry lines. Plus, adenosine (a naturally occurring nocturnal bio-molecule) helps visibly reduce skin sensitivity. This powerful formula reduces the look of lines and wrinkles.
How to use: Apply as a leave-on mask at night as the last step in your routine.
Choose retinoids.
Smart Clinical Repair Overnight Recovery Cream+Mask
After cleansing and before moisturizing and masking, serums and balms are a great way to layer on powerful ingredients—like retinoids, a family of ingredients (including retinol) derived from vitamin A known to accelerate cell turnover, refine skin texture, and give you glowing, more youthful-looking skin.
Try the Smart Clinical Repair™ Wrinkle Correcting Serum, our advanced anti-aging serum with 9.5% peptides and 1% advanced retinoid. It's a perfect formula for a nighttime skincare routine, helping reduce the look of wrinkles, visibly lift, smooth, firm, and boost radiance. (We recommend using this formula twice a day—it's gentle enough—and it's imperative that you follow any morning application with sunscreen.)
Alternatively, our new Smart Clinical Repair AM/PM Retinoid Balm contains 1% advanced retinoid and hyaluronic acid and reduces the look of fine lines and wrinkles. This can be used as a targeted treatment on specific areas of the face.
How to use: Apply 1-2 pumps on clean skin, after cleansing and before moisturizers and masks.
Stay hydrated (and don't forget your eyes).
Smart Clinical Repair Wrinkle Correcting Eye Cream
Hydration is so important in any skincare routine, but especially when it comes to the eye area. The eyes are delicate and thinner and usually show signs of aging first.
While you rest, choose an eye cream that will be working extra hard behind the scenes. The Smart Clinical Repair Wrinkle Correcting Eye Cream helps strengthen the delicate eye-area skin, making it appear smoother, brighter, and younger-looking. It also helps visibly de-puff eyes.
Better yet, potent peptides help boost skin’s strength for a smoother appearance, while hyaluronic acid hydrates and plumps skin , helping minimize the look of fine, dry lines.
How to use: Apply a pea-sized amount all around the eye, tapping and gently massage into skin.
Glowing skin is possible and easy to achieve at night. Now that you're all caught up on how to supercharge your routine at night with these add-ons, why not catch up on your beauty rest?
