The Benefits of Night Moisturizer

  Moisturizing is a central aspect of any skincare routine, and using a night moisturizer offers a variety of benefits that can help sustain healthy, radiant skin. While a daytime moisturizer focuses on sun protection and hydration, a night moisturizer is specially formulated to address the skin's unique needs during the nighttime.

WHY SHOULD I INCLUDE RETINOL IN MY BEAUTY ROUTINE?

Its benefits are global, since it contributes to the rejuvenation of the skin while stimulating the natural production of collagen, reduces the appearance of wrinkles, attenuates spots, gives a lot of luminosity, closes pores ...

AT WHAT AGE WOULD I START USING RETINOL?

They say that 35 marks a line in terms of taking facial care very seriously and it is very important to find an optimal beauty routine to prevent aging. However, retinol can be incorporated into our routine much earlier. Around the age of 25, we can incorporate it into the routine. Of course, always under the direction of a dermatologist.

TIPS FOR GETTING STARTED IN THE WORLD OF RETINOL

The benefits that retinol brings to the skin are endless. It is painstaking one of the most powerful anti-aging ingredients and improves the skin's renewal process. In fact, it is one of the most recommended formulations by dermatologists. When including it in your routine, keep these tips from the experts at Mifarma by Aida in mind, especially if you are a beginner.

•Its use is recommended progressively because its potency is very high. One of the keys is to start with a concentration between 0.05% - 0.20% of pure retinol.

•Opt for formulations such as anti-aging retinol serum where its main component, vitamin A in the form of retinyl, is one of the most skin-friendly retinol derivatives and its concentration of 0.3%.  It is ideal for beginner skin (equivalent to 0.16% pure retinol).

•Make sure your skin will tolerate the ingredient well. For this, you can use alternate nights -one yes, one no- the first 2 weeks.

•Remember not to use those products that have a higher concentration without the approval of a healthcare professional.

•It is preferable to start using retinol during a time of year where the sun is not very strong. I introduce retinol routines night since it acts renewing skin layers. In case you use it during the day, the use of sunscreen will be mandatory because the skin is more exposed.

•It is advisable not to use retinol serums around the eye contour to avoid possible irritations unless it is a specific product for it.
