Why is nighttime the most important time for your skin?

Have you ever heard of skin chronobiology?

Just like our body, our skin has its own biological clock. This science studies the rhythm of how our epidermis functions. We can observe 4 key stages throughout the day, with nighttime being the most important stage.
At night, the skin is most receptive to treatments. While you are resting, it works to repair and regenerate itself; this is called the cellular regeneration process.

We'll explain everything about the different processes that occur at night:

1. Cell regeneration

During the night, the skin works to repair and regenerate itself: this is called the cellular regeneration process.
Skin cells renew faster to replace dead or damaged cells. This renewal is essential to combat dull complexions and preserve skin elasticity through the production of collagen and elastin.
The TensioLift Night Balm is the ideal treatment to support this process. Enriched with repairing active ingredients, it amplifies the skin's nocturnal activity to boost its regeneration.

2. Repair

Night is when the skin enters an intense phase of repair and cellular regeneration. Unlike during the day, when it is constantly mobilized to defend itself against external aggressions (pollution, UV rays, temperature variations), the skin then focuses on repairing cells damaged during the day. This natural process is essential to maintain healthy, smooth, and radiant skin.

3. Trans-epidermal water loss
At night, the skin loses a lot of water due to the cell renewal process: This is called trans-epidermal water loss. To prevent this water loss, it is essential to apply a product that will form a protective film and seal in skin hydration.
The combination of TensioLift Night Balm and TensioLift Oil creates a protective film that retains water and strengthens the skin's hydrolipidic barrier during the night. The oil acts like a "dressing" that prevents nocturnal dehydration and maximizes the effectiveness of the active ingredients in the balm.

4. Toxin elimination

During the night, the skin also begins a tissue detoxification process. This helps eliminate toxins accumulated throughout the day. This is why it is even more important to massage your face every evening; by activating your lymphatic system, you help eliminate a first part of the accumulated toxins. So remember to always perform the movements by finishing towards the lymph node areas located at the ends of your face or at the level of the collarbones to optimize this drainage. This will allow your skin to have a little less work to do while you sleep.

5. Boosting micro-blood circulation

Between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m., cutaneous microcirculation is activated to provide the necessary energy for cell renewal. Blood circulation, particularly active at night, also ensures efficient distribution of nutrients and vitamins to the skin. Here again, massage is an important step before going to sleep, as massaging the skin stimulates micro-blood circulation. This allows the skin to "warm up" before it begins this process. This will ensure you wake up looking radiant the next morning.

Adopt a night routine with the TensioLift range

To maximize the benefits of nocturnal regeneration, incorporate these products into your routine:

It is also important to get enough sleep so that the skin has time to repair and regenerate properly. And don't forget the massage step, which will multiply cellular regeneration at night and promote the elimination of toxins. 

Waking up: prepare your skin for a radiant day with TensioLift Day Cream

Upon waking, after a night of regeneration, your skin needs to be hydrated and protected to face external aggressions. TensioLift Day Cream is your ally to prolong the benefits of your nocturnal routine.

Tip: apply it after cleansing your face and, if possible, perform a light massage in circular movements to awaken microcirculation and brighten your complexion first thing in the morning.
