Sleep and Skin Health
Quality sleep supports skin repair, hydration balance, and moisture retention overnight. When you rest deeply, your body increases restorative processes that reduce puffiness and fine lines by morning. A comfortable Ace Mattress can help maintain uninterrupted sleep, supporting these skin-friendly rhythms.
Aim for 7 to 9 hours and a consistent schedule to align with your skin's circadian rhythm. Dim lights and a cooler room encourage melatonin and overnight recovery. Pair this with a gentle evening routine to minimize nighttime dehydration.
Ingredients for Calm Skin
Hydration is the foundation of calm skin. Look for humectants such as hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and polyglutamic acid that draw water into the stratum corneum. Ceramides and cholesterol reinforce the lipid barrier, reducing sensitivity.
Niacinamide helps brighten while supporting barrier function, and bakuchiol offers a soothing retinol alternative. In Korean skincare, concentrated serums and sleeping masks layer smoothly without heaviness. When sleep is solid, these ingredients work best as the skin's repair window opens.
Basic Skincare Routine
Start with a gentle double cleanse at night to remove makeup and sunscreen, then finish with a water-based cleanser in the morning. A hydrating toner helps restore pH and prep the skin for active serums. Lightweight emulsions or essences seal in moisture before applying a ceramide-rich moisturizer.
Add an antioxidant serum in the morning to protect against daily stressors. This keeps skin resilient under makeup and environmental factors. Finally, apply sunscreen as the last step before makeup to prevent UV damage.
SPF and Skin Protection
Daily sunscreen is essential, rain or shine, to prevent photoaging and uneven tone. Choose broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher and reapply every two hours when outdoors. On makeup days, a sunscreen-infused primer or a cushion with SPF can provide protection without a heavy feel.
Apply sunscreen after moisturizer and before makeup, giving it a moment to set. If you skip it, foundation cannot compensate for UV exposure. Healthy sun habits support the longevity of your skincare and makeup look.
