Secret to taking care of your skin at night to optimize collagen production

    HƯƠNG SƠN (THEO VERYWELL HEALTH) |

    In the world of beauty care, collagen is known as the "golden key" to keep skin youthful and firm.

    Cleanse deep but gentle skin

    One of the first important steps is to thoroughly clean the skin. During the day, the skin has to face dirt, sebum, makeup, and free radicals from the environment. If not thoroughly cleaned, these impurities will hinder the regeneration and production of collagen at night.

    Prioritize double cleansing to ensure deep skin cleansing without losing the natural moisture layer.

    Increase nutrients with special serum

    Night is the golden time for your skin to absorb nutrients.Activities such as retinol, vitamin C, peptides, and hyaluronic acid have been scientifically proven to stimulate collagen production.

    - Retinol: Promotes cell regeneration, increases natural collagen production.
    - Vitamin C: Powerful antioxidants, necessary for collagen synthesis.
    Peptides: Signal molecules help command the skin to create more collagen.

    Note: If you are new to retinol, you should choose a low concentration and take it at a time to adapt to your skin.

    deeply moisturize and lock in moisture

    A hydrated skin is the foundation for effective regeneration.When the skin is dry, the skin's protective barrier is damaged, and collagen is more easily destroyed.
    After the serum, apply a moisturizer containing ceramide, hyaluronic acid, or squalane to hydrate and lock in moisture, supporting the skin to recover overnight.

    Prioritize quality sleep

    Did you know that when we sleep deeply, our bodies produce growth hormone, a factor that promotes collagen production.In contrast, not getting enough sleep increases cortisol the hormone that causes inflammation and destroys collagen.
    You should sleep before 11pm, trying to maintain 7-8 hours/day.Avoid blue light (phones, computers) at least 30 minutes before bed.

    Don't forget to take care of yourself from within

    In addition to applying it to the skin, adding nutrients inside is also extremely important. Foods rich in vitamin C, protein, zinc, and copper will provide ingredients for the body to synthesize collagen more effectively.

    Prioritize eating fatty fish, berries, nuts, dark green leafy vegetables and eggs.
