When it comes to skincare, night-time is prime time. Your skin repairs and regenerates as you sleep, making it the perfect opportunity to supercharge your routine with targeted ingredients like Vitamin C. Often called the “glow-up hack” by skincare enthusiasts, applying Vitamin C before bed can leave your skin radiant and refreshed by morning.
Here’s how to incorporate Vitamin C into your evening routine and why it’s the ultimate night-time skincare essential.
Why Night-Time is the Best Time for Vitamin C
Using Vitamin C at night offers several benefits:
-
Maximises Skin Repair: While you sleep, your skin’s natural repair processes are in full swing. Vitamin C supports collagen synthesis and combats free radical damage accumulated throughout the day.
-
Avoids UV Interaction: Vitamin C is photosensitive and can degrade when exposed to sunlight. Applying it at night ensures its potency and effectiveness.
-
Boosts Radiance: Regular night-time use of Vitamin C helps fade dark spots and promote a more even skin tone.
Step-by-Step Night-Time Routine with Vitamin C
1. Cleanse Thoroughly
Start by removing makeup, sunscreen, and impurities with a gentle cleanser. Clean skin allows Vitamin C to penetrate deeply and work effectively.
2. Mist with Hydration
Prep your skin with our Reviving Face Mist to refresh and hydrate. This step enhances absorption and balances the skin’s moisture levels. Discover it here.
3. Apply a Vitamin C Serum
Use a serum like our Active Nutrient Serum to deliver a concentrated dose of Vitamin C. Gently press it into your face and neck, focusing on areas with dark spots or uneven tone.
4. Lock in with Moisturiser
Follow with our Prebiotic Cream to seal in hydration and enhance the serum’s benefits. Its soothing formula helps repair your skin barrier overnight, leaving it soft and nourished by morning.
What to Expect After a Month of Night-Time Use
-
Week 1: Skin feels more hydrated and smoother.
-
Week 2–3: Dark spots begin to fade, and skin tone appears more even.
-
Week 4 and Beyond: Noticeable improvement in radiance and firmness, with a healthy glow that lasts all day.
Tips for Night-Time Success
-
Avoid combining Vitamin C with retinoids or strong exfoliants in the same routine to prevent irritation.
-
Stick to a consistent schedule—nightly use delivers the best results.
-
Store your Vitamin C products in a cool, dark place to preserve their efficacy.
