If this new year you are focussing on self-care and setting some skin goals you might want to know more about Obagi’s Hydrate Luxe… Here Obagi tells us all about their super skin nourishing product.
Have you ever heard of a circadian rhythm? It’s the physical, mental and behavioural changes in your body that follow a roughly 24-hour cycle, such as your sleeping schedule. What you may not realise is that many of your skin functions also follow a circadian rhythm. While you may begin to unwind in the evening, your skin is hard at work and actually increases its renewal and metabolic functions at night.
Consider these cycles in your skin’s functions that may influence its texture, radiance, and overall appearance:
- Cell proliferation peaks at midnight, and is lowest at noon
- Blood flow is 25% lower at night
- Oil production by skin glands is higher midday at noon
- Skin pH is more acidic during sleep
Obagi offers a product engineered to complement your skin’s natural nightly functions. Just as the name suggests, this luxuriously rich face cream is extra-moisturising and contains ingredients to keep your skin looking and feeling supple and firm.
Packed with many of the same great naturally derived ingredients as the Obagi Hydrate Facial Moisturiser, like shea butter, mango butter, and avocado, Hydrate Luxe also contains additional powerful ingredients engineered to work with the chronobiology of the skin and to provide ultra-rich moisturisation including:
Biomimetic peptides. A technology that complements your skin’s nightly renewal and metabolic functions to support the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in mature skin.
Hydromanil. A key ingredient in the Hydrate Facial Moisturiser, this technologically advanced ingredient provides not only immediate moisturisation but gradual moisture delivery by retaining water in the layers of your skin and continuously releasing them for 8-hour moisture protection!
You can apply Obagi Hydrate Luxe in the evening to combat skin dryness overnight, as well as any time deep moisturisation is needed and is perfect for these dry winter months we are facing.
