IS TIMING EVERYTHING?
WHEN TO USE THOSE LOTIONS AND POTIONS
Here’s something our aestheticians taught me
back when we started Ageless Remedies SouthPark.
This is a routine that works.
Vitamin C and sunblock in the morning,
Retin A at night.
And today I can tell you about two more professionals who agree.
Dr. Jenny Kim, assoc. prof of derm at UCLA, says: “research has shown physiological changes that happen at night
may enhance the effectiveness of some creams…”
John Kulesza, CEO Young Pharmaceuticals, says that physiological changes take place in the evening to the skin that may enhance product penetration. ” Many treatment actives, e.g. Vitamin C, Green Tea, Retinoids, are light sensitive. Applying them in darkness reduces the possibility they will photodegrade on the skin surface before they are fully absorbed into the skin, which can take a few hours.”
