Skin Repair is a Creature of the Night
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.
