The human body is an amazing thing, and it every day it's working for your benefit. Every morning your skin is already kicking into defense mode, preparing to battle everything the day throws at it—UV rays, pollution, blue light, and even stress.
What Happens When Your Skin Wakes Up?
🔸 Your Skin Barrier Strengthens – The outermost layer of your skin thickens slightly in response to daily environmental stressors, forming a stronger shield against pollutants, bacteria, and moisture loss.
🔸 Your Skin Produces Natural Antioxidants – To fight free radicals from sun exposure, pollution, and blue light, your skin starts producing antioxidants like Vitamin E and Coenzyme Q10. But with constant exposure, your skin’s reserves can deplete—so boosting it with a Vitamin C Mask or our antioxidant-rich Magnolia Facial Serum makes a big difference.
🔸 Oil Production Adjusts Based on Age
- Under 50? Your skin naturally increases sebum production in the morning to form a protective barrier. But excess oil can mix with dirt and debris, which is why morning cleansing with our Hydrating Aloe Facial Cleanser is essential to prevent clogged pores.
- Over 50? Oil production decreases with age, which can lead to drier, more fragile skin. Instead of cleansing, opt for a gentle, hydrating toner, like our Rose Aloe Hydrating Toner that cleans without stripping, followed by a nourishing moisturizer ingredients that replenish lost moisture.
🔸 Hydration Retention Changes with Age –
- Under 50? Your skin is still relatively efficient at holding onto moisture, but stress, climate, and diet can impact hydration levels. Using a moisturizer with humectants like our Gentle Radiance Daily Moisturizer helps to keep skin plump.
- Over 50? Your skin’s natural ability to retain moisture drops significantly due to decreased lipid and collagen production. Layering hydration—starting with our Hyaluronic Acid serum, followed by a hydrating moisturizer like our Magnolia Silk Hydraluxe Crème—is effective in preventing dryness and maintaining elasticity.
🔸 UV Defense Begins – Knowing sun exposure is inevitable, your skin activates melanin production as a first line of defense. But melanin alone isn’t enough to block harmful UV rays—SPF is a must!
