The Use Of Skin Care At Night Is Very Important, Experts Express The Reason

JAKARTA - The use of skincare products at night is very important to do. At night the skin tends to lose more moisture and has to work on repairs.

During the day, the skin will work to survive UV rays, pollution, and environmental pressure. Then at night, the skin changes mode from protection to repair mode, focusing on cell recovery that may decrease during the day.

"cell changes increased, collagen production increased, and blood flow to the skin increased, all of which helped repair damage during the day and restore healthy brightness," said dermatologist Mona Foad, MD, quoted from Women's Health, on Saturday, October 25, 2025.

The use of skin care at night is very much needed because it will help the skin to improve and maintain skin health better.

"I always tell my patients, what you use on your skin at night is like giving a personal care package," he explained.

"You are the busiest at noon, at that time (at night) improvements and updates are really happening," he added.

In doing skincare routines at night, it is recommended to start by cleaning your face with facial soap that is suitable for your skin type. If you use makeup, you need to do double cleaning or double cleansing.

"First of all, remove your makeup and clean your skin thoroughly with the cleaning formulated for your skin type," added the medical director of Dermatology Physicians Chicago, Moroyo Adisa, MD.

Then you can use the serum, which is focused on dealing with wrinkles, black spots, and other skin problems. Don't forget to end your night skincare stages by using moisturizers.

The night moisturist is very important because it helps repair your skin while you sleep and creates a barrier that helps prevent loss of moisture overnight, concluded Michele Green, MD.
