More than a protective covering, skin is a true organ. Like you, it works during the day to defend itself, then uses your sleep to switch into “repair” mode. Discover its day and night needs to create a suitable skincare routine, preserve a youthful face and maintain a radiant complexion.
Skin needs by day
During the day, skin faces a demanding environment. Pollution, UV rays, stress, temperature changes and wind challenge its balance. In the morning, it needs a routine providing hydration, protection and radiance.
Maintain hydration
Hydration is a fundamental skin need. After gentle cleansing, moisturise to maintain and strengthen the skin barrier. Day cream, balm or fluid: choose a texture that leaves skin supple and comfortable. To find yours, read How do I choose my day cream?
Hyaluronic acid and plant glycerin are star active ingredients for this task. They boost the skin’s ability to capture and retain water, preventing dehydration that causes discomfort and small creases. Over time, these can deepen into wrinkles.
Protect against external stresses
Every day, skin fights an invisible battle. UVA rays, even in overcast weather, accelerate skin ageing: firmness is lost earlier, wrinkles appear and dark spots cloud the complexion. Sun, pollution, lack of sleep, a hectic lifestyle and smoking cause oxidative stress, meaning excess free radicals in the body. These unstable molecules damage skin cells and accelerate ageing.
To help skin defend itself, choose care containing antioxidants such as vitamin C or niacinamide, which neutralise free radicals. On sunny days or during prolonged exposure, apply broad-spectrum facial sun protection too. This UVA/UVB protection helps prevent sunburn and premature skin ageing. Adapt it to your skin tone and sunshine intensity: our guide How to choose your sunscreen? helps you find the right one. For daytime touch-ups, discover Sun Serum-in-a-Stick SPF50+.
Boost radiance
Your complexion may look dull in the morning, especially after several short nights. Moisturising care plumps skin, making it look brighter. By fighting free radicals, antioxidants also boost radiance for a glowing complexion. Find our advice in How can you save your mornings? Our radiance routine.
Skin needs at night
Skin cell renewal is most active at night. While you sleep, regeneration gets to work: this is the time to support it with targeted care.
Support cell regeneration
While you sleep, skin sheds dead cells and creates new ones. It recovers from the day’s stresses, receives the nutrients and water it needs, and stimulates collagen and elastin production. The hydrolipidic film forming the skin barrier also strengthens before a new day.
Provide targeted correction
Use the night to give skin expert active ingredients targeting ageing, dark spots or blemishes. Your products work when cellular activity is most intense. On waking, skin looks rested and the complexion more even. Discover all our night care here.
NUXE Soins d’Exception: expert care for day and night
Skin’s daytime and night-time needs differ, which is why day and night creams exist. To simplify your beauty ritual without sacrificing effectiveness, NUXE developed two anti-ageing Soins d’Exception. Available in a luxurious 75 ml size, they work continuously to meet all fundamental skin needs throughout the day.
Merveillance LIFT Le Soin d’Exception Jour & Nuit: the firmness solution
