The Best Nighttime Routine For Dry Skin

  • By Srishty Singh

The upkeep and maintenance of your skin requires a dedicated nighttime skincare. One that helps shed buildup and cues healthy cell renewal while addressing relevant concerns. Luckily, Foxtale is bringing tailored PM routines mapped into different skin types. In this blog, we help you with the best skin care for dry skin. So, keep scrolling.  

We know that dry skin loses its moisture content swiftly, often becoming dehydrated in the process. Therefore, nighttime skincare for dry skin should focus on preventing TEWL (also known as transepidermal water loss) and intense hydration. 

Before we get to these products, let’s see how the skin functions differently at night. 

Understanding Skin’s Circadian Rhythm 

The skin is exposed to dirt, grime, pollutants and other aggressors during the day. To counterbalance the impact, the skin is in protection mode during the AM. However, at night, the skin prioritizes its repair and rejuvenation activities. It sheds the unwarranted buildup and dead cells to ensure healthy cellular renewal.   

Why Do You Need Skincare At The Night? 

There are several reasons why a fleshed-out routine is a must for your nighttime rituals   

1. Better Absorption: For the unversed, your lipid barrier is the most absorbent at night. If you want to treat specific concerns like dryness – your PM routine is the best time to use ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerine, Lactic Acid, Ceramides, D-Patheneol and more. They absorb quickly into the dermis and show visible results swiftly  

2. Aid The Renewal Process: Using active ingredients like Retinols, AHAs and BHAs helps expedite the renewal process, leading to glowing, gorgeous skin.   

3. Seal And Protect: The downside to your lipid barrier being extremely absorbent at night? Your skin loses moisture dramatically. Not only does this make your skin flaky, but also impacts the rejuvenation activities at a cellular level. To thwart these problems, a thick hydrating moisturizer is necessary in your skincare routine. 

Okay, But What Should I Apply On My Dry Skin At Night?

Keeping in mind the cellular renewal process and concerns unique to dry skin – here’s a tailored nighttime routine. This is bound to transform your skin (and life) by leaps and bounds. 

1. Never Budge On Cleansing: Cleansing at night is vital for dry skin too. It gently removes dirt, grime and impurities, revealing a brighter surface sitting underneath. This step in your skincare also ensures the better absorption of your serums and treatments.

Other USP: This efficient face wash doubles as a makeup remover. It contains gentle surfactants that melt makeup and SPF without disturbing your skin’s pH. 

2. Treat With Care: Next, use a Foxtale serum to address pressing skin concerns. This active-infused formulation travels deep into the skin, guaranteeing visible results in the blink of an eye.

3.  Moisturize To Revive Dry Skin 

Moisturization is key for reviving dry, flaky skin. A potent formula creates a protective barrier on the dermis, preventing TEWL or transepidermal water loss. A skin-appropriate moisturizer also softens ageing lines, soothes inflammation and makes your skin appear more youthful. 

Foxtale Recommends: Hydrating Moisturizer with Ceramides
