Skincare Routine for Night Owls and Early Birds
Waking up very early in the morning may seem impossible to some people. Whereas, to some other people, it’s the best time to become productive. Although the inability to wake early is usually likened to sleeping late, a study has shown that is not always the case. Other factors, such as genetics, type of work, and mental health can contribute to your sleeping patterns.
Regardless of that, maintaining beautiful and glowing skin is paramount. And that’s why we’ve put together a simple skincare routine guide to help you. Whether you are a night owl or an early bird, go through this article and discover easy-step routines you can adopt in your skincare. Nevertheless, always remember that your body needs sufficient sleep to function properly. So, no matter how busy your schedule might be. Always make out time for quality sleep for at least 6 to 8 hours daily. That will help improve your skin.
Now, let’s get down to business.
Early Birds: Rise and Shine to a Radiant Skin
In the simplest terms, early bird is a category of individuals who seem to sleep earlier at night and wake up early in the morning. These individuals may find it easier to blend with the standard daytime activities like the normal work hours than night owls. Consequently, you may find them being more productive or having more energy in the first half of the day.
Since early birds are known to be more productive in the mornings and early afternoons, they are often exposed to UV rays. Hence, their skincare routine should focus on hydration, antioxidant-rich products, and sun protection. To achieve this purpose, here’s what you can do.
Morning Routine for Early Birds
-
Cleanse with a gentle formula, such as the Blanco Facial Purifying Cleanser to get your skin ready for the day and other products.
-
Add moisture to your face with a hydrating serum like the Silky Serum. This will help keep dryness at bay, throughout your day.
-
Lock in the moisture you’ve added and increase your skin’s water retainability using a hydrating moisturizer like the Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizer.
-
In the end, protect your skin from UV rays that occur at your most productive hours using sunscreen, like our Gold Safe Tinted Solar Defense.
After a busy daytime, early birds are most likely to become less productive in the evenings. At this time, they are already winding down and getting ready to retire early at night. Hence, their night routine should pay attention to skin repairs. To achieve this, here’s what they can do;
Night Routine for Early Birds
-
Depending on your level of dirt exposure during the day, you may double cleanse using Blanco Facial Purifying Cleanser and Bleach Cream Soap.
-
To revitalize your skin’s health after a strenuous daytime, introduce a retinol-rich serum, such as our Shovalit Forte.
-
Work on repairing your eye area with Collagen Elastin Eye Cream to boost elasticity and prevent dark circles or under-eye wrinkles.
-
Finally, nourish your entire body for a blissful sleep using a nutrient-rich formula, such as our Ita Nourishing Cream.
After performing this routine, kindly unplug from screens and create a relaxing environment that sets the mood for a beautiful bedtime. Remember, the earlier you sleep as an early bird, the more productive you’ll be in the morning.
Night Owls: Late Nights, Bright Skin
As the name already implies, Night Owls are a set of individuals who are most likely to stay up late at night and wake up later in the morning. Their energy is usually at its peak during the second half of the day. Since most societal activities are scheduled for the daytime, they may find it difficult to blend with the usual 9 to 5 work hours, school hours, etc. Apart from their usual nightlife, they’d have to change their sleeping pattern before they can fully adapt.
Since night owls wake up later in the day, sometimes, they would miss early morning sunlight. Therefore, their morning routine may focus on nourishing, hydrating, and UV shielding products to prep their skin for the day. To do this, here’s what you can do;
Morning Routine for Night Owls
-
Cleanse with a purifying formula, such as the Blanco Facial Purifying Cleansers to prep your skin for the day ahead.
-
Add Bleach Toner to further cleanser and unify your skin tone.
-
Since you may have missed the nourishing early morning sunlight, add transformative formulas to your skin, such as the Vitamin C from the Sea Serum.
-
On top of it, apply Vitamin C Moisturizers + SPF 25 to lock in the added nutrients and the needed moisture.
-
Finally, wrap it all up by using sunscreen such as our Demi Make Up SPF 50 for a 24 hours sun-protection, round the clock.
Since Night Owls tend to stay up late at night and might possibly have late-night screen time, their night routine should prioritize skin repairs, protection, soothing, and rejuvenation. To stay in charge, here’s what they can do;
Night Routine for Night Owls
-
Depending on your level of dirt exposure during the day, you may double cleanse using Blanco Facial Purifying Cleanser and Bleach Cream Soap.
-
To reduce or prevent possible wrinkles or fine lines from late-night screen times, add a hyaluronic acid-rich formula, such as Eliko.
-
Repair your eye area with Collagen Elastin Eye Cream to boost elasticity and prevent dark circles or under-eye wrinkles.
-
Then, add soothing moisturizer, like the Mary Calm Cannabis to repair and relax your skin although your late-nights.
For both Early Birds and Night Owls, we recommend exfoliating at least once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells and enhance your turnover cycle. You may explore our Peeling Gommage or Glycolic acid for this purpose.
Conclusion
Just as we emphasized earlier, whether you are an early bird or a night owl, always prioritize time for relaxation and quality sleep. That’s because your skin needs time to repair, rejuvenate, and restore after the day’s activities. And this can only happen when you are sleeping. Also, normalize hydration and keep fresh throughout the day. Finally, be committed to your chosen skincare routine. As we always say, “Commitment to a quality skincare routine forms a solid foundation for maintaining healthy-looking skin”.
