Sleep offers one of the best ways to look and feel younger. Proper sleep rejuvenates your entire body and maximizes the results of your skincare program and facial exercises. Our skin cells work to repair and regenerate when we sleep, so there’s no better time to boost your skin care regimen. Read my three tips for fighting the signs of aging while you sleep.
1. Optimize Your Products
Since your cells repair and regenerate at night while you sleep, your products have more time to absorb and will work better. Use a rich hydrating product like my Ultra Hyaluronic Cream or Advanced Anti-Aging Cream all over your face, neck and décolletage. Our new Korean Skin Care products are also superb complements to facial exercises.
2. Shed the Excess
Nighttime is the deal time to apply a retinol product to shed dead skin cells and stimulate collagen production. My Luxe Retinol serum gently but effectively exfoliates those cells that clog pores and dull our skin. With nightly use, you’ll reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while imparting a youthful glow. Boost results by applying eye cream and moisturizer over the retinol to maximize absorption.
3. Address the Full Package
Don’t stop at your face—apply products to your entire body, when possible. Moisturize your neck and décolletage with a product specifically designed for that area or your face products. Several times a week, apply a rich hand cream to both your hands and feet and cover with gloves and socks for the ultimate hydrating treatment. If you can, apply retinol to your hands, arms and legs, with special attention to the often-dry elbows and knee areas. If you dry brush regularly and treat the skin all over your body, your skin will glow and appear firmer.
Proper sleep plus a regular regimen of Facercise, our proprietary system of facial exercises, and advanced skin care products, will help you have the best skin ever.
