It turns out, timing may be the most underrated skincare secret of all. Circadian science now suggests syncing your skincare with the body’s internal clock for optimal results.
6–8 AM: Hydration Boost
Morning dehydration peaks as cortisol rises. Lightweight humectants restore water balance fast.
12 PM: Pollution Defence
City exposure peaks midday. A quick antioxidant mist protects against oxidative stress and UV bounce.
5–7 PM: Repair Phase
The skin’s natural healing process activates post-sunset. Peptides and barrier-supporting serums strengthen defences.
9–10 PM: Overnight Renewal
Melatonin surges, cell turnover accelerates. Retinoids and occlusives perform best before sleep.
This rhythm-based approach optimizes every product in your winter routine. The key is not just what you use, but when you use it.
