Everyone happens every now and then to go to sleep without having removed make-up and maybe still with the mobile phone in their hands. It goes without saying that these are bad habits, which we can, however, correct easily and with a few gestures.

The evening beauty routine is very important to ensure an optimal rest and above all suitable for preserving our beauty. Here's what you need to start doing every night before closing your eyes:

1- Take off your make-up
It is absolutely essential, because our skin at night is much more reactive and, not cleansing it, means not allowing it to breathe well.

2- Wash your face
After removing your make-up, tone your skin with fresh water or a toner and pat it dry with a soft cloth without rubbing.

3- Apply the night moisturizer
Precisely because the skin at night is more reactive and receptive, it is also more prepared to better absorb the active ingredients present in the night creams, whether they are regenerating, nourishing, repairing or anti-aging.

Night treatments enhance the renewal mechanisms inherent in the skin itself. And this is also confirmed by dermatologists, according to whom it is during the night that the skin regenerates itself, activating the production of collagen and elastin, essential substances for the appearance of young skin.
To increase this innate mechanism, depending on the type of skin and age, it is important to choose a targeted cream, specific to its needs, whether it is to be deeply nourished and revitalized or to be supported in the fight against the signs of weather.

Night after night your skin will find the right balance and in the morning, instead of getting up with a dull complexion and tired eyes, you will be radiant, rested and well hydrated.
