NIGHT TIME RITUAL FOR MATURE SKIN

For most of us, skin changes are among the most visible signs of aging.

With each passing year, our skin becomes thinner and less elastic.

While genetics play a role in how fast this happens, lifestyle factors also affect how well your skin ages.

Night-time rituals are essential for preserving and maintaining your skin.

Night is when your skin regenerates, so it’s crucial that you take care of it as best as possible.

Here are some nighttime rituals you can use to treat mature skin:

Use a Soft, Natural Bristle Brush to Exfoliate Your Skin Before Cleansing.

With age, the natural process of skin exfoliation slows down.

This step helps remove dead skin cells built up during the day, leaving your face smooth and soft.

To start, you need to exfoliate your face and neck.

You can do this with a soft bristle brush easily available at most drugstores.

Gently brush the brush in circular motions on dry skin, starting from the top of your forehead down to your chin and jawline, then repeat on each side of your face (left and right).

The idea is not to scrub hard or scratch off any skin—you’re just removing the top layer of dullness so that when you use a cleanser later it will work better.

Exfoliate with enzymes or acids as needed.

Enzymes (like bromelain) are great for all skin types because they don't cause irritation or dryness like acids.

Enzyme exfoliants are gentle but can be less effective than acid exfoliants. If you have sensitive skin, enzyme exfoliants are your best bet.

If you have oily or acne-prone skin, consider using a powerful AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) or BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acids) once or twice a week—or even every night before bedtime. This will help you maintain clear skin.

Some precautions when using enzymes and acids:

Avoid the delicate skin under and around the eyes. This holds for almost any kind of cleansing agent or exfoliant.
Don’t overdo the routine once you start to see some improvement. Exceeding the recommended frequency doesn’t mean the results compound.
Make sure that you do a patch test. This is non-negotiable.
Focus on the next suggestion in this round-up. Exfoliation without proper cleansing and moisturizing isn’t likely to yield satisfactory long term results.

Use a Moisturizing Cleansing Oil to Cleanse Your Face.

Use a Slightly Acidic Make-Up Remover with Hydration Benefits.

We do not recommend heavy, oily cleansers and cleansing milks for women over 50. This is contrary to popular belief where stickiness is often confused with "moisturizing".

Agents and formulations that are hard to absorb by the epidermis clog pores, and disrupt the pH mantle.

Instead, give your night-time routine the right start. Choose a pro-age make-up remover that:

Has Glycolic Acid to melt stubborn make-up away, while respecting healthy skin pH of 5.
Is infused with Hyaluronic Acid to strengthen and replenish the moisture barrier.
Has Clary Sage, Pomegranate, and Lavender to heal age-induced damage.

The idea is to have squeaky clean skin, with the pampering of a hydrating treatment.

PrimeSkin Beauty Water is designed to do just that.

Tone With a Gentle, pH-balancing Toner.

Toners are essential for your nighttime skincare routine because they balance your skin's pH levels, which is especially important as we age.

This helps keep your complexion looking clear and bright while preventing damage caused by harsh ingredients in other products (like cleansers or exfoliants).

Once you've cleansed your skin, it's time to moisturize.

If you have dry skin, avoid products that are too greasy or fragrant; use a hydrating serum before bed instead. If you have normal-to-oily skin, avoid products that are too drying and acidic (i.e., those with ingredients like salicylic acid).

Apply an Eye Cream.

The delicate skin around the eyes is prone to fine lines and wrinkles, so it needs extra attention.

Eye creams not only help reduce fine lines and wrinkles but also help prevent them from forming in the first place.

Make sure you’re using a good quality eye cream that contains ingredients like hyaluronic acid to plump up the skin and reduce puffiness, as well as some form of retinol or peptide to fight signs of aging (these are often found in anti-aging serums).

You should also look for formulas designed specifically for dryness caused by sun exposure and cold weather conditions—dryness can make fine lines more prominent.

Apply this at night after cleansing but before moisturizing your face if you have oily skin. Apply after moisturizing if you have dry or normal skin (this will help lock in moisture).

PRO TIP: Use Eyebrow and Eyelash Serums

Even though eyebrows and lashes do not count as a part of the skin, applying the serum is an inseparable part of the skin-care routine and here's why:

The biggest reason behind thin, sparse, and weak lashes and eyebrows is the increasing lack of essential peptides and vitamins in our bodies with age.

Eyebrows and eyelash serum get absorbed by the top layer of the skin called the epidermis and provide the required nourishment and care.

Eyelash serums are also beneficial for mature skin around the eyes, as they help prevent aging.

PrimeLash Growth Serum and PrimeBrow Complete:

Prime Lash Growth Serum is a unique formulation.

Why?

Because it contains more essential fatty acid rich oils like avocado and olive, than any other lash treatment on the market.

And we haven’t paused there. We’ve also added bioactive nutrients (good compounds) from 20+ high quality herbs and fruits. These nutrients directly communicate with your lash cells, urging them to reverse age induced damage, and shorten lash growth cycles.

In short - you see denser, thicker lashes grow in half the expected time, giving an impression of 10x more volume.

Sounds like just the healing your fanned beauties deserve?

Then you’ll adore PrimeBrow Complete.

It has the potency of PrimeLash Growth Serum - laser targeted for your brow follicles (they aren’t exactly the same as your lash follicles).

Plus, the product is a multi-tasking wonder that packs the punch of a spoolie and a beetroot and coffee based natural brow tint too!

Conclusion:

The nighttime ritual is just as essential for older skin as younger skin (if not more).

Nighttime skin care can help reduce the effects of aging on your face and even prevent wrinkles from forming.

Some of the most effective anti-aging ingredients are active and most effective during the night.

That’s it for our nighttime routine for mature skin.
