The right beauty regime over 24 hours.... Morning - best to boost circulation and for slimming. At night, your body functions slow down and body temperature goes down. In the morning all vital functions must get back to normal, especially the blood circulation. At this time of the day there is no need to bring too much nourishment to the skin because it may not be able to assimilate it! On the other hand, early morning is the right time to use starters - products which will awaken the skin and accelerate the elimination of toxins responsible for puffiness under the eyes, swollen tissue and dull complexion. Use a facial cleanser that needs water to be removed and use warm and then cool water. If you have sensitive skin you can simply wake your skin with a nice spray of mineral or flower water. The same waking technique can be used for the body; a shower with hot water to start then followed with tepid water; it will accelerate the diffusion of cortisol throughout the body- cortisol is the hormone responsible for the production of sugar, the essential. Fuel of the brain and muscles, The body needs a lot of energy when you wake up and during the first hours of the day. To get its energy, it tends to dip into its reserves to convert fat into sugar. This is the perfect time to use slimming products. The slimming active ingredients which work on the elimination of fat will be more effective. Another good ingredient for waking the skin is vitamin C because it stimulates the micro-circulation and drains toxins faster. Lunchtime- to slow down sebum production Throughout the morning, the body temperature rises and the various functions which had slowed down during the night gradually return to full speed. The sebaceous glands are no exception and their function peaks at noon- this is especially true for combination and oily skin. If you use absorbent or matti flying formulas, you should plan a new application of your product around 11am to slow down sebum production and avoid a shiny skin. For most of you (except for very dry skin) it is the perfect time to touch up your foundation or to use blotting paper to absorb the excess sebum on the skin. Lunchtime is also the perfect time to have a facial. Early Afternoon- best time for having a massage Most of us feel sleepy around 1-2pm and this is because there is a drop in body temperature which leads to a slowdown of the secretion of adrenaline and reduced activity of the central nervous system. This is the perfect time to enjoy relaxing treatments performed without electrical machinery: massages, facials etc. All muscles of the body are particularly receptive to relaxation. A short nap(10-20mins) is even recommended to recharge your batteries and be ready for the second half of the day. Evening- to repair All day, the skin works in slow motion. But as soon as the light fades, unlike the rest of the body, the skin begins to awaken and goes into repair and renovation mode. There is an activation of the blood microcirculation, an improvement in cellular exchanges and improved cutaneous permeability. Evening is the best time to have deep cleansing treatments:scrubs, mask and products rich in repairing ingredients. It is between 11pm-4am that skin is best able to use these ingredients to repair or regenerate itself. Around 1am, the micro-circulation is at its peak and the cells are dividing at top speed. Also, it is when the skin is busy repairing itself that it is particularly vulnerable to external factors; this is why it is recommended to sleep in a cool ventilated room and avoid irritants such as cigarette smoke. At night, when it is safe from environmental stress- and of course, from daylight- the cell can focus its energy on its regeneration and repair.
