When is your skin’s Cinderella time?
If you are interested in beauty, you have probably heard the phrase “skin Cinderella time” at least once. In fact, skin regeneration is active during this time, which is the key to maintaining beautiful skin. In this article, we will explain in detail what Cinderella time is for your skin, its time, its beauty effects, and effective skin care methods.
What is Cinderella Time?
Cinderella time refers to the time when skin turnover (metabolism) is active. Generally speaking, this time is between 10pm and 2am. It is said that sleeping during this time promotes the secretion of growth hormone and makes it easier for skin damage to be repaired [1].
The role of growth hormone in Cinderella time
Growth hormone plays a major role in cell regeneration and repair. In particular, it helps produce collagen, which is essential for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity. The secretion of this hormone is most active between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m., known as Cinderella time. Getting a good night’s sleep during this time will maximize the use of growth hormones that keep your skin healthy [2].
Skin care methods that effectively utilize Cinderella time
1. Take care of your nighttime skin care routine
To maximize the effects of Cinderella Time, night skin care is important. Thoroughly remove your makeup with cleansing and moisturize your skin using a lotion or cream rich in moisturizing ingredients. It is especially effective to use serums that contain ingredients that help regenerate the skin, such as vitamin C and retinol [3].
2. Ensure good quality sleep
When the quality of your sleep decreases, the beauty benefits you get during Cinderella time will also decrease. To create a better sleep environment, try keeping your bedroom dark and listening to relaxing music before bed. In addition, you can expect better sleep by avoiding caffeine intake before bedtime and incorporating moderate exercise [4].
3. Nutritionally balanced diet
Nutrients such as vitamin A, vitamin C, and collagen are necessary for skin regeneration. Make sure to eat a balanced diet and actively consume ingredients that are good for your skin. In particular, it is recommended to incorporate foods with antioxidant properties to aid skin turnover [5].
Conclusion: Take advantage of Cinderella time to get beautiful skin
Cinderella Time is a part of skin care that anyone can easily adopt. By being aware of this time of day and taking care of proper skin care, sleep, and diet, you can obtain firm, moisturized, and healthy skin. Even in your busy daily life, you should be able to maintain beautiful skin by valuing the Cinderella time at night.
