In the hustle and bustle of modern life, night time often becomes the sanctuary of self-care. It's the time when we unwind, recharge, and focus on nurturing ourselves. Among the essential rituals of self-care, a comprehensive night time skincare and haircare routine stands out. In this article, we will delve into the world of night time beauty regimens, exploring tips, tricks, and products to help you wake up to glowing skin and lustrous locks.

Talking about why a night time hair and skin routine matters, Dr Kritu Bhandari, who is an M.D. in Dermatology & Cosmetology, and Founder of Orijine Clinic said, "The night hours hold a special place in our daily lives. While we sleep, our body is hard at work, undergoing its natural repair processes. During this time, blood flow to the skin increases, allowing for better absorption of nutrients and active ingredients. As a result, a well-crafted night time beauty routine can enhance these processes, leading to healthier skin and hair."

Night Time Skincare Routine:

Prachi Bhandari, who is the Co- Founder and Head of Research, Aminu Skin Care mentioned he following:

• Cleanse: Your night routine should begin with double cleansing. First, use an oil based makeup remover like Aminu’s Melting Balm Cleanser and spend 30-50 seconds gently massaging it in circular motions. This ritual erases the remnants of the day—dirt, mineral sunscreen, excess oil, and even stubborn waterproof makeup. Follow up with your regular face cleanser. Double cleansing ensures that all the forthcoming products can penetrate effectively.
• Mask: Two to three times a week, indulge your skin in a revitalizing experience with a peat based mask like Aminu's Nordic Mud Mask. Apply it and leave it on for just two minutes. This quick mask oxygenates and energizes it from within and you'll emerge with skin that radiates with health and vitality.
• Treat: Once your skin is prepped, it's time for the magic potions - serums! Serums are tailored to address specific skin concerns and goals. This step is where you can customize your routine based on your unique needs. Whether it's hydration, protection, barrier repair, better-aging, or pigmentation control, a targeted serum can work wonders.
• Moisturise: Night creams are your skin's best friend. They provide an extra layer of protection, infuse your skin with nutrients, and help address various concerns. While applying the night cream, remember to extend your care to the neck with gentle upward strokes. Neglecting the neck is a common oversight, but it's essential in the quest for a youthful appearance.
• Glow: The finale of your night time skincare ritual is the application of a light weight face oil like Aminu’s Radiance Face Oil. These multi-active face oil offer a myriad of benefits, from improved elasticity to even skin tone and a strengthened skin barrier. What sets this step apart is the soothing massage you indulge in while applying the oil. The gentle strokes stimulate circulation and enhance the absorption of these potent oils.

Why Should You Have A Separate Day & Night Cream?

Dr Gagan Bhatia, who is the founder of Uniqaya said the following:

• During the Day: Your skin faces a barrage of challenges, from sun exposure to environmental pollutants. A day cream is like a shield, armed with SPF to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. It also hydrates, ensuring your skin remains supple throughout the day.
• At Night: Your skin's natural repair mode kicks in as you sleep, making a night cream essential. These creams are thicker and contain ingredients like retinol and hyaluronic acid, which aid in repairing damaged cells, improving elasticity, and combating signs of aging.

By using separate day and night creams, you maximise sun protection during the day while providing your skin with the nourishment it craves at night. Day creams focus on hydration and protection, while night creams target specific concerns.
So, give your skin the day and night treatment it deserves, and watch it glow with gratitude.

Night Time Hair Care Routine:

In this regard, Dr Kritu Bhandari listed the following:

• Scalp Health: Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. Massaging your scalp with natural oils can improve blood circulation, stimulate hair follicles, and combat dryness or dandruff.
• Hair Masks: For deep conditioning, use a hair mask once a week. These treatments nourish your hair, repair damage, and add shine.
• Protection: Consider investing in a silk pillowcase. Its smooth surface reduces friction, minimizing hair breakage and frizz while you sleep.
