🌙 Dr. Kishan's Night Protocol: 3 Habits Sabotaging Your Skin's Repair Cycle.
The nighttime hours are when your skin runs its crucial repair and collagen-building marathon. As an Aesthetic Doctor, I often see patients accidentally derail this process.
Here are the three most common mistakes that undermine your expensive skincare routine:
1. ❌ Sleeping on Cotton
✅ The Expert Fix: Switch to Silk or Satin.
The Science: Cotton’s rough friction creases the skin and absorbs moisture, dehydrating your skin and accelerating the setting of temporary "sleep lines" into permanent wrinkles. Silk/satin allows your skin to glide effortlessly, protecting your collagen.
2. ❌ Stopping Skincare at the Jawline
✅ The Expert Fix: Extend ALL Actives to the Décolletage.
The Science: The skin on your neck and chest is thinner, has fewer oil glands, and loses elasticity faster. Your Retinol, Vitamin C, and targeted peptides must cover these areas for truly balanced anti-ageing. Don't let your chest reveal secrets your face is keeping!
3. ❌ Applying Actives to Damp Skin
✅ The Expert Fix: Wait 5-10 minutes until your skin is bone-dry.
The Science: When skin is damp, it drastically increases the pe*******on rate of strong ingredients like Retinoids (Tretinoin). This leads to excessive irritation, redness, and inflammation—which forces you to stop using the product altogether. Wait for dry skin for maximum efficacy with minimum inflammation.
