THE NIGHT WATCH
July 24, 2017 by Jack
Think about what your skin goes through every day. You were out in the elements and exposed to wind, dirt, and pollution. You probably went to the gym and left drenched in sweat. Maybe you decided to go to a concert with your friends and got shoved around by a crowd of 500 people.
Once you make it home, how diligent are you about taking care of the grime you collected throughout the day? Are you going to let it stay caked on your skin? Hope not.
Nighttime regimens allow your skin to repair itself after it has been exposed to the damaging factors of the day. Here are some of our favorite formulas to incorporate into your nighttime routine.
LINE SMOOTHER 8% GLYCOLIC ACID TREATMENT
For some people, fine lines work. We won’t name names, but let’s just say those people like their martinis shaken, not stirred. But most of us aren’t that person. If you are in the vast majority, Line Smoother is for you. The lightweight, oil-free treatment with 8% glycolic acid addresses the visible signs of aging by helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and helps minimize dark spots and even out skin discoloration. The glycolic acid works to remove the top layer of skin and helps to move newer cells to the surface, revealing younger, smoother skin. Use it before bed, and wake up with skin that feels and looks younger and smoother. For the best results, use consistently and keep it in your daily regimen for a minimum of 4-6 weeks.
DRY ERASE® ULTRA-CALMING FACE CREAM
The elements of the day can be harsh on your skin. All that wind, dirt, indoor and outdoor pollution can cause redness, dryness, and irritation. As part of our ProSeries Age Control collection, Dry Erase® helps provide moisturization to dry skin and protect from future damage. The calming formula features oils and botanicals to hydrate and soothe skin. Use after applying Protein Booster Skin Serum for greater anti-aging benefits.
CLEAN BREAK® OIL-FREE MOISTURIZER
Clean Break® should be the go-to moisturizer for guys with oily skin, but it’s also a great nighttime moisturizer for all skin types. The oil-free moisturizer is ideal for nighttime use as it helps replenish and retain the skin’s moisture without the use of oils. It features a lightweight formula with botanical antioxidants to offer protection against free radical damage.
PROTEIN BOOSTER EYE RESCUE
If your eyes are the window to your soul, you want people to get the best view possible. As another product in our ProSeries collection, Eye Rescue targets the signs of aging where it is first seen — the eyes. The formula features Matrixyl®synthe'6®, a powerful formula designed to help reduce the appearance of deep surface wrinkles, and Osilift® to lift and tighten the surface of the skin. Brighten tired-looking eyes by applying it morning and night, avoiding eyelids. To enhance your results, be sure to use it on a consistent basis.
MP 10® NOURISHING OIL
The Swiss army knife of your regimen, MP 10® is a multipurpose blend of 10 natural oils for your skin and hair. The oil provides intensive moisture plus potent antioxidants, essential nutrients, and fatty acids, making it an effective nighttime moisturizer for guys who struggle with dry skin. Use it after a bath or shower to soften rough patches or as a leave-in conditioner and grooming aid for your facial hair.
