Your skin requires more than a good night's sleep after a busy day. When you have dry skin, a nightly routine is also quite essential in order to restore moisture, repair the skin barrier, and prevent dryness or irritation. Morning routines are all about protection, but nighttime skincare is all about treating and repairing your skin. When you use the proper products such as a mild cleanser, Day Night Cream, Silk Cream, and Manjistha Moisturiser, you can wake up with skin that is smooth, supple, and vibrant.

Step 1: Cleanse Without Stripping

Cleansing is the most important part of any nighttime routine, but for dry skin, it’s very important to use a gentle cleanser that won’t take away natural oils. Strong cleansers can make the skin feel tight, itchy, and can cause small damage. A mild, hydrating formula helps clean dirt, impurities, and makeup while keeping the skin's natural moisture safe.

Pro tip: For the double cleanse, grab cleansers with gentle ingredients that soothe dryness and prepare the skin for the moisturizing steps that follow.

Step 2: Hydrate & Prep the Skin

When you cleanse your face, you want to add moisture back into it. A toning or light hydrating solution can prepare your skin by toning the pH and delivering the initial dose of moisturizer. When you are dry, you will find that this step will allow your moisturizer and cream to absorb more easily into your skin. Use toners that are free of alcohol and loaded with humectants, which pull the water toward your skin and never dry it out.

Step 3: Lock in Moisture with Cream

The essence of your nightly routine is a rich moisturising product. You would want a Day Night Cream or Silk Cream at this stage. They are designed to lay down moisture and restore your skin at night.

Silk Cream: It provides a rich texture that truly nourishes your skin, fortifies the skin barrier, and keeps it supple. Smooth finish ensures your skin feels healthy and soft by morning.

In combination, the creams work together to prevent dryness, tiny lines, and redness from environmental stressors throughout the day.

Step 4: Use a Targeted Moisturiser

A single cream is very effective, but paired with a Manjistha Moisturiser, it provides additional benefits. Manjistha is a powerful herb for Ayurvedic skincare and is recognized for assisting with skin glow and benefiting the skin. It is great for applying at nighttime because it makes the skin less tired-looking, improves blood circulation, and provides the skin with a natural glow. It also complements your other creams really well and prevents your dry skin from becoming dry and hard.

Why You Should Use Nighttime Skincare for Dry Skin

At night, your skin begins the process of repairing itself by forming new cells and repairing damaged parts. Normally dry skin tends to have a weaker defense barrier, meaning it depletes the water faster. If you don't moisturize your skin prior to going to bed, you can wake up with dry, itchy, or tight skin. Maintaining a constant bedtime routine benefits your skin:

• Stays hydrated overnight
• Strengthen its barrier function
• Feels smoother and softer in the morning
• Ages more gracefully, as dryness often accelerates fine lines and wrinkles

Additional Tips for Dry Skin at Night

• Wash your face with warm and not boiling water.
• Apply your moisturiser within a minute of cleansing to lock in hydration.
• Humidify the bedroom to prevent unnecessary loss of water through the skin.
• Avoid sleeping under intense heaters or air conditioning.

FAQ

1. Why is the nighttime routine more crucial for dry skin?
At night, the skin dries more readily because it produces fewer oils. A bedtime regimen replenishes depleted moisture and repairs the skin barrier.

2. Can I use Silk Cream and Day/Night Cream together?
Yes, you can switch them or use them both depending on what your skin is requiring. Silk Cream provides deep moisturising and Day Night Cream offers day-long moisturising.

3. Should Manjistha Moisturiser be applied over sensitive dry skin?
Yes, Manjistha is a mild, natural ingredient that calms, enlightens, and protects the skin. But always do a patch test beforehand for use.

4. Should I be using a serum at night?
You can supplement your regimen but don't require them. If your skin is very dry, try a hydrating serum beneath your moisturizer.

5. May I forget to wash my face at bedtime if I don't use makeup?
No. Even without applying makeup, your face gets grimy, dirty, and more oil throughout the day. Face washing enables your moisturizer and your creams to work better.
