Physiological Time For Skincare

By Maggie Wong...

Many women spend a lot on skincare products but find out that these products are not as effective as they described. I am not going to say anything about the effective of these products. But I wish to point out that having the right timing for your skincare products is important. If you have the right timing, the effect of your expensive skincare products can be doubled or even tripled. This timing idea is not an intuition or personal experience; it is developed according to the physiological time of the human body. Let's discover the right timing now!

From 8am to 12pm, sebaceous glands in our skin are very active. They secrete sebum vigorously. Sebum performs naturally protective function for our skin. That means, our skin is highly protected during this period of time. It is the best time of the day for some irritating treatments like laser treatments, acne treatments and peeling. As our skin is well protected, our skin is less irritated.

Skin cells become a bit tired after the active sebum secretion in the morning. In addition, majority of blood flows to the digestive system after our lunch for food digestion. This decreases the blood flow to skin and therefore further increases the tiredness of our skin. At this point, it is important to revitalize our skin and the best method is to replenish moisture both internally and externally. We may have a water spray on our face and drink large amount of water. We should also avoid drinking coffee in the afternoon as coffee accelerates the moisture loss in our body.

Skin cells are not going to be tired from noon onwards; they gain back their vitality after 4pm. It is because all the foods are digested in around 4 hours from noon and skin cells absorb a lot of nutrients. The absorbed nutrients provide energy for the brain, heart and lung to function. When these organs function properly, the oxygen content in blood increases, which leads to higher skin absorbency. From 4pm onwards, it is best to let our skin enjoy a relaxing and detoxifying spa. We may do exercises to enhance the detoxification effect.

Blood pressure starts decreasing from 8pm. Until 11pm, the possibility of body swelling (edema) and inflammation is the highest during the whole day. Therefore, you should avoid any irritating actions like acne treatment and blackhead removal to your skin. Skin cells have speeding growth during 11pm to 5pm. During this period of time, skin absorbency is the highest. In order to let your skin absorb the most nutrients, you need to apply the most effective, nourishing and restoring skincare products and sleep as early as possible.

Secretion of adrenal cortex hormone increases from 4am and such secretion is highest from 6am to 7am. As the adrenal cortex hormone inhibits the formation of protein, cell activities come down to their bottom. When cell activities decrease, moisture is accumulated in the cells and circulation in lymphatic system slows down. Therefore, it is common to find your eyes and face swell when you get up in the morning.
