Daytime: Protection is Key

During the day, your skin is in defense mode, fighting off UV radiation, pollution, and oxidation. Your daytime routine should focus on antioxidant defense (such as Vitamin C) and hydration, capped off with broad-spectrum sunscreen.

Nighttime: Regeneration and Repair

At night, cellular turnover peaks, and the skin repairs itself. This is the optimal time to use restorative ingredients, rich nourishing oils, peptides, and retinoids that accelerate cell renewal.
