MORNING VS EVENING SKIN CARE

WHY SKINCARE ROUTINES SHOULD DIFFER IN THE MORNING AND EVENING:

Most people believe that the AM and PM skincare routines serve the same purpose, which is not entirely true. The morning routine protects and prepares the skin for the day, while the night routine repairs and nourishes the skin for the nighttime journey. The only similarity between the AM and PM routines is cleaning.

The morning routine will cleanse the dirt obtained during the night. Every morning, your skin wakes up with a renewed barrier that immediately gets exposed to external aggressors like  UV rays, pollution, and environmental toxins. The night routine often focuses on restoring the skin’s barrier function and locking in moisture for overnight recovery. At night, your skin shifts into repair mode, with increased cell turnover and collagen production.

I guess this answers your question about skin functions during the day vs at night as stated earlier in the context, moving on to the next objective.

FUNCTION OF THE AM AND PM SKINCARE RITUAL

Why is it called a ritual? A ritual is a series of actions performed in a specific order, often with intention and meaning.

 At AURACEL, we always use the term ritual because we believe your daily skincare routine is for an intention, purpose, and meaning. 

THE AM RITUAL: The morning skincare routine is designed to shield the skin from external aggressors such as UV rays, pollution, dust, and dirt. This is why lightweight, hydrating, water-based, and sun-protective products are essential for maintaining a healthy barrier throughout the day.

THE PM RITUAL: The night skincare routine focuses on repair and regeneration as the body enters rest mode. During this time, the skin undergoes renewal, making it the ideal moment to apply treatments that nourish, restore, and enhance cell turnover.
