Top 3 Bedtime Skincare Tips by Dermatologist
Retinoids are hands down the best ingredient for your bedtime skincare routine. Whether it's prescription Tretinoin or over-the-counter Retinol, these ingredients are fantastic for anti-aging, acne, and hyperpigmentation. 馃寵 Just remember, sunlight can deactivate retinoids, so always use them at night.
Proper application is key! Make sure your skin is completely dry before applying retinoids. Applying them to damp skin can increase penetration and lead to irritation. If your skin is sensitive, especially after a chemical peel, consider taking a break from retinoids. 馃洃
Always have a skincare goal in mind. Whether you're targeting fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, or acne, knowing your goal will help you choose the right products. For instance, in your late 30s, focusing on retinoids can be particularly beneficial for aging skin. 馃幆
