Did you know that maintaining a separate morning and night-time skincare routine can be a total game-changer for your skin? 😲 Some ingredients are simply formulated to work best at night – plus, they get the time to really sink in and repair your skin while you catch up on your beauty sleep. Peptides and glycolic acid are two ingredients that have creating a buzz in the world of beauty lately. Before you add them to your routine, here’s exactly when you should be using them and why. ☀️ Peptides, which are short-chain amino acids that boost proteins like elastin and keratin, can be applied at any time of the day. For maximum effectiveness, you should make sure that they have a spot in both your day and night-time skincare routine. 🌙 Glycolic acid, much like retinol, belongs exclusively in your night-time regime, thanks to the fact that it increases your skin’s photosensitivity (read: apply sunscreen the next morning). PS: If you’ve just introduced glycolic acid into your skincare routine, you should slowly work up to using it daily to prevent any potential irritation from occurring.
