When, Where, Warm

Skincare in the morning and skincare in the evening are two very different animals. Research shows that skin follows its own circadian rhythm physiologically, and this is harnessed by advanced skincare systems.  

“In the a.m., proper skincare is all about protecting it from environmental stressors such as UV light, LED blue screens or pollution,“ says board-certified New York dermatologist and OPULUS Beauty Labs™ brand ambassador Marnie Nussbaum, MD, FAAD. “Physiologically, the skin does what it can to ward off these stressors, but it needs help which is why sunscreens and antioxidants are so important.”

On the other hand, nighttime is when the body’s immune system goes into high gear and skin cell tissue repair occurs. Indeed, ‘beauty sleep’ is a real phenomenon.

OPULUS Beauty Labs Retinol+ Opoule™ Treatments tap into this function by delivering freshly activated ingredients at peak potency. Plus, skin permeability is higher in the evening than the morning, so key ingredients may absorb faster and deeper than at other times.

Another factor that can increase the absorbency of skin care is warmth.

OPULUS has made this a part of every application. An individual Opoule Treatment is separated into two formulations – the harder exterior Coat and the softer interior Core – each of which keeps its precious key ingredients isolated and protects stability. Using patent-pending precision thermal blending at 107°F, the Activator unites the two, transforming them into a potent and fresh application. Heat amplified and held warm in the Activator’s bowl, a rich, luxurious treatment emerges at an optimized temperature to facilitate absorption. At the same time, it is not so warm that it destroys ingredient function. It also feels comfortably warm, never hot to the touch or on the skin, a perfect complement for a nightly self-care micro indulgence.  

One of the many advantages of the OPULUS Treatment is that with each activation you get a complete application that covers the face, neck and décolletage and perhaps the backs of hands. This is by design. These areas often get neglected yet they are all places that are exposed to sun, environment and therefore accelerated signs of aging. It’s one product and application step that treats multiple areas.
