The Importance of Nightly Facial Moisturizing

Why Nighttime Moisturizing Matters

Nighttime is a critical period for skin rejuvenation. While we sleep, our skin undergoes a natural repair process. A nightly facial moisturizer enhances this process by providing essential hydration and nutrients.

Hydration and Protection

Exposure to environmental aggressors throughout the day can deplete the skin's natural moisture barrier. A hydrating moisturizer replenishes lost moisture, preventing dryness and maintaining the skin's suppleness and elasticity.

Cellular Renewal

Nocturnal hours are optimal for cellular turnover. A well-formulated moisturizer supports this process by delivering vital nutrients that promote skin regeneration. Consistent use can contribute to a more youthful and radiant complexion.

Optimized Ingredient Absorption

The skin's ability to absorb skincare products is heightened during sleep. Applying a moisturizer at night maximizes the penetration of active ingredients, resulting in enhanced efficacy.

How to Use a Nightly Moisturizer

Step 1: Cleanse

To remove impurities and prep the skin, cleanse your face thoroughly using the Setú® Daily Cleanser.

Step 2: Moisturize

Apply a modest amount of facial moisturizer to the face and neck, gently massaging it in with upward, circular motions.

Step 3: Absorb

Allow the moisturizer to fully absorb into the skin before going to bed. This helps lock in hydration and maximize overnight benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long before results are noticeable?

Individual results may vary, but many users observe skin hydration and texture improvements within several weeks of consistent use.

Can I use the same moisturizer day and night?

While some products suit both, nighttime moisturizers are typically formulated with richer ingredients to support the skin's overnight repair process. Because ours contains Retinol, it's recommended only for night use.
