Naturium, an affordable and ingredient focused skin care line, just released an entire line of repairing and exfoliating acids. And as we mostly know, acids — and exfoliation — can lead to sun sensitivity, and that's why these topical acids are great to try at night without the worry of the effects of those UV rays.
My two favorites from the Topical Acid collection are the Naturium Azelaic Topical Acid 10% and Naturium Mandelic Topical Acid 12%. Azelaic acid helps minimize skin imperfections like redness, dullness and discoloration, and helps control sebum production. The Mandelic Topical Acid 12% exfoliates skin to target dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
These are both great for brighter and younger looking skin.
Without a doubt the screen time we've been exposed to has increased exponentially. We're soaking in blue light from our screens and it's damaging our skin (blue light exposure can cause color changes, inflammation, and photo-aging).
SeneGence's just-launched Digital Age Defense Serum is here to reverse that damage! Featuring the latest advances in skin care to help protect against blue light, SeneGence uses their own proprietary ingredient complex to energize fatigued skin, prevent visible signs of aging related to blue light, and hydrate and refresh.
The Femmue Flower Infused Fine Mask contains 99.4 percent naturally-derived ingredients and gives a unique aromatic and luxurious experience. This dual use mask can be used as a wash-off nourishing mask or (my favorite) a revitalizing overnight sleeping mask. Infused with camellia petals and camellia oil, antioxidants and niacinamide this formula strengthens the skin barrier, soothes, hydrates and brightens. This mask is the perfect product for those looking to achieve that glass-skin glow.
No nighttime skin care routine is a nighttime skin care routine without retinol! Retinol is the only proven anti-aging ingredient — and it does wonders to address the multiple signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles. The Pacifica Clean Shot - Retinoid + Bakuchiol 3% in Seawater combines an advanced petroleum-free retinoid complex, and a plant-based retinol alternative called bakuchiol.
Together, these retinoids are less irritating than typical retinol yet maintain a better efficacy. And Pacifica's Clean Shots products are designed without unnecessary ingredients so you get exactly what you came for: potent benefits and powerful results.
The best way to end any nighttime skin care routine is with a good ole creamy moisturizer! Especially if you've got oily skin, the evening is when you want to give your skin all the hydration and moisture you can, because when your skin is properly hydrated the less sebum it will produce throughout the day.
One of my recent favorite night creams is the ultra hydrating DIME Restorative Night Cream. With many superstar ingredients like squalene, ceramides, jojoba, sea buckthorn and more, this cream reduces the look of fine lines, wrinkles and pores. These ingredients are mild and great for all skin types, and also mimic the skin's own structure, working with its natural night-time renewal process for rejuvenated skin.
