Did you know excessive use of chemical active ingredients causes skin sensitivity?

Summer weather conditions often take a significant toll on skin health, leading to acne, tanning, and dullness. Dr Aisshwarya Panddit, a celebrity cosmetic doctor and founder of Aura Edge Wellness Pvt Ltd., shared seven nighttime repair tips with HT Lifestyle.

She emphasised that the body enters a natural repair mode during sleep. Dr Aisshwarya Panddit said, “The best time to repair your skin is when your body is in repair mode, which is at night. A balanced skincare routine at night is likely to bring positive results.”

Her recommended evening steps include:

• Cleanse your skin: Thorough cleansing gives the skin room to breathe and feel fresh.
• Use double cleansing: Utilise gel and water-based cleansers to remove stubborn residues and dirt.
• Hydrate your skin: Apply serums to replenish moisture lost to harsh environmental factors.
• Use targeted treatments carefully: Avoid overusing active ingredients that may trigger sensitivity issues.
• Strengthen the skin barrier: Use light, non-greasy moisturisers to lock in hydration overnight.
• Care for the under-eye area: Apply gentle moisturisers to this delicate region to reduce exhaustion.
• Stay consistent: Maintaining a routine is vital for achieving sustainable, long-term results.

Stay consistent with your routine

Consistency remains the foundation of any successful regimen. Dr Panddit highlights that repairing damage is not about using an excessive number of products, but using the right ones correctly.

By adopting a conscious nightly approach, individuals can help their skin regain its former strength and glow.

This steady process allows the skin to slowly recover from the ill effects of heat, pollution, and UV exposure.
