Many dermatologists believe in a serious nighttime regimen and yet it may be the most commonly overlooked. Why is a nighttime beauty regimen so important?

According to an article in prevention.com,  "Repair occurs best when skin isn't stressed by free radicals produced by the sun and metabolism--during sleep, your body can undo some damage." says Mary Lupo, MD.

Lise Jorgensen, vice president global skincare product development for Estée Lauder says “Far from being dormant at night, the skin is doing a great deal of repair work. We now know that the optimal time to maximize the skin’s natural repair mechanisms is at night.” (found at notebookmagazine.com)

Although the specific regimens suggested by dermatologists and beauty advisors can be as diverse as the beauty products on the market, there are fundamentals that all seem to agree on.

• A good cleanser and sun block for daytime care and a good cleanser and repairing serum or moisturizing cream for evening care are essential for healthy and youthful looking skin.
• Consistency is key. If you only brushed your teeth from time to time, the health of your teeth would be in grave danger. Same with your skin!  It will be in grave danger without daily proper care.
