The Night Shift: Why Skin Repairs at Night

Your skin isn’t “off” when you sleep — it’s busy. Nighttime is when the skin shifts from daytime defense (UV, pollution, oxidative stress) to overnight recovery (repair, renewal, barrier rebuilding). That’s why a smart night skincare routine isn’t just a trend — it’s strategy.

During the day, your skin prioritizes protection. At night, your body’s internal rhythm cues processes linked to cell turnover, repair signals, and barrier maintenance. You may also notice your skin feels tighter at night — that’s partly because water loss through the skin (TEWL) tends to rise, making hydration and barrier support more important after sundown.

So what should nighttime skincare do?

1. Reset the day: cleanse thoroughly to remove sunscreen, dirt, and pollutants.

2. Treat strategically: use one targeted active (don’t stack everything at once).

3. Seal + support: apply a moisturizer that matches your skin type to reinforce the skin barrier.

This is where Lumineve’s “night-first” approach fits naturally. Pick one Midnight Youth liposomal serum based on your goal:

• 10% Vitamin C for glow + dullness

• 10% Niacinamide for pores + oil balance + marks

• 0.3% Retinol for texture + fine lines

• 2% Salicylic Acid for acne + clogged pores

Then lock it in with a Deep Revitalise moisturizer tailored to your skin type (oily, sensitive, oily acne-prone, dry & sensitive, normal to dry, normal to combination).

Think of it as a simple equation:
Cleanse → One Serum → One Moisturizer → Sleep.

Consistency is what makes your skin wake up looking like it actually rested.
