While you were sleeping...

The work your skin does overnight (and how you can help it!)

We need to sleep at night for key biological functions to happen in our bodies. While we sleep, our body is working to support healthy brain function and maintain our physical health. We use this time to rest, repair and balance in preparation for a new day.

Your skin is your body’s largest organ, so it probably comes as no surprise that it too has a substantial to-do list to fulfil while you’re sleeping. These actions are essential for keeping your skin healthy and functioning currently, but also help to keep your skin looking and feeling its best - there’s a reason they call it ‘beauty sleep’.

The role of a face cream in your routine is to protect the skin from losing hydration while supporting the skin’s natural barrier to protect it against pollution, irritation and environmental drying. So of course face creams and moisturisers are an important step in your skincare routine, particularly in the morning.

Face creams contain emulsifiers that bind the oil and water molecules and are designed to be retained on the skin’s surface for protection. This is fantastic throughout the day but at night this barrier effect will inhibit the skin’s natural functions.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At night while you sleep, the skin repairs and rebalances itself by releasing natural secretions (such as oils) to reinforce its’ protective barrier. It’s therefore important not to use anything on the skin that might block or inhibit this natural process.

To nourish your skin at night we recommend using a face oil or oil balm. Oils and balms are free from emulsifiers, ensuring your pores remain clear so that the skin’s oil secretions continue to flow uninhibited at night. They also repair and replace the lost oils on the surface of the skin, helping you to wake up to a soft dewy glow in the morning.

Sensitivity explained:

Sensitivity in skin doesn't always present as obviously red, inflamed or irritated skin.

When sensitive skin is balanced, the outer layer of our skin (called the lipid barrier) is intact, and inflammation and irritation should all be under control. If it becomes compromised that's when we notice changes - like redness, tight skin, shiny skin, excess oil or breakouts.

These changes are a consequence of the sensitivity. For example, your skin may have been stripped of its natural protective oils which then in turn causes it to produce more oil and lead to breakouts.

By treating the sensitivity first and working to get the skin balanced your skin function improves and a lot of these other signs such as breakouts start to reduce in appearance as well.
