Skincare is not a one-size-fits-all endeavor. Just like our bodies and minds have different needs throughout the day, our skin also requires specific care morning and night. Adopting a 24/7 skincare routine can help maintain healthy, radiant skin around the clock. But what ingredients should you look for in your day and night skincare products?
Our skin behaves differently during the day and night due to various factors like UV exposure, environmental pollutants, and the natural regeneration process that occurs during sleep. Tailoring your skincare routine to these rhythms can optimize its effectiveness.
During the day, our skin faces external aggressors like pollution, UV rays, and free radicals. A daytime skincare routine should focus on protection, hydration and providing a good base for makeup. Ingredients like sunscreen/SPF, hyaluronic acid and antioxidants are important. Nighttime, on the other hand, is when our skin repairs and regenerates itself. This is the perfect time to introduce ingredients that help boost and support these processes like the skin loving vitamins niacinamide and vitamin D. Good quality sleep is also imperative to this process - that’s why they call it Beauty Sleep!
An easy way to feed your skin the right ingredients at the best times is by adding Glotrition’s AM/PM Bundle to your routine. The AM/PM Bundle features two Gummiceuticals – Afterglo and Sleep – both designed to boost your skin's natural renewal process from the inside out.
Afterglo is a great way to start your day! Your personal anti-aging shield, Afterglo targets skin elasticity and skin tone while also protecting against blue light and other types of free radical damage. Key ingredients include:
- FloraGLO: A lutein, a powerful antioxidant and part of the carotenoid family. The lutein in FloraGLO is sourced from marigold flowers and has been clinically proven in human trials to help multiple aspects of skin aging and protect against environmental aggressors. Clinical studies showed FloraGLO improves skin hydration and elasticity by helping to decrease the oxidation of lipids (one of the key processes that contributes to aging!) It was also proven to help protect against free radicals and oxidative stress as well as help absorb and filter blue light to protect skin cells.
- Vitamin A: A well-known skin loving vitamin that helps support the skin’s immune system, hydrates the skin and gives the skin a radiant glow. Vitamin A assists in promoting and maintaining a healthy dermis and epidermis (the top two layers of our skin!)
Sleep is your PM ultimate beauty sleep solution with ingredients that not only improve your sleep quality, but also aid your skin’s natural renewal cycle. Key ingredients include:
- Melatonin: A well-known natural sleep aid, melatonin is a hormone naturally produced by your body in response to darkness. In a world full of electronic blue light, melatonin supplementation is often used to help the body stay on a natural sleep/wake cycle.
- Aloe Sterols: Found in the gel of the Aloe Vera plant, aloe sterols have been clinically studied and proven in micro-doses to stimulate collagen and hyaluronic acid production and significantly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles when used as a dietary supplement.
- Vitamin D3: Known to improve cellular turnover, Vitamin D3 is essential for overnight skin repair. Low levels of Vitamin D have also been linked to poor sleep quality and reduced sleep duration.
- Niacinamide: A derivative of Vitamin B3, helps prevent premature signs of aging by boosting collagen, smoothing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and helping even out skin tone.
All of Glotrition’s Gummiceuticals are made without any added sugar – only the good stuff in there. (And they taste great!) Additionally, both blends are built on a foundation of select antioxidant-rich fruit powders proven to aid in skin health and overall immunity.
2 Afterglo gummies in the morning and 2 Sleep gummies before bed are a great way to boost your 24/7 skincare program. By incorporating the right ingredients for both day and night, you are protecting, nourishing and rejuvenating your skin around the clock. Happy skincare-ing!
