9 tips to improve your skin quality in a week by staying up late and working overtime

For women, staying up late to work overtime is the most annoying thing, because the first thing to be harmed is the skin, and if the skin is not good, the mood will also be ugly. Staying up late and sleeping late, and having no time to take care of your skin may be a common problem encountered by white-collar workers. Here we will tell you how to improve this problem.

Secret Technique 1: Go to bed late but don’t take a shower late

The skin's working hours are between 10:00 pm and 11:00 pm, when it enters the night maintenance state. Before this period, we need to make maintenance preparations in advance. First, remove the makeup with a makeup remover, then clean the face with a mild cleanser, and finally apply a moisturizing and nourishing lotion containing sufficient moisture and nutrients. If your skin feels greasy before going to bed, you can use moisturizing toner to wipe off the facial oil and then apply a layer of cream.

Tip 2: Put moisturizing essence after all essences

Staying up late and working overtime will cause the skin to be dehydrated and dry, so intensive moisturizing is particularly important. Only when the cells are fully hydrated can the metabolic balance be maintained. At this time, you can use the moisturizing essence after all the essence products, so that all the previous moisturizing ingredients can be firmly locked in and accelerated penetration. Don’t forget to use a night cream suitable for night repair afterwards to prevent the loss of nutrients and deeply moisturize the skin.

Secret Technique 3: Eye Cream + Alternating Hot and Cold Compresses

Sitting in front of the computer all day is tiring enough, and if you have to stay up late in front of the computer at night, dark circles, sagging eye bags and wrinkles will mercilessly appear around your eyes. Therefore, eye care cannot be ignored when staying up late. When choosing eye creams, it is best to choose those that can promote eye microcirculation and contain ingredients with drainage and swelling-reducing effects. For dark circles caused by poor circulation, you can use alternating hot and cold compresses or warm compresses on the eyes to clear blood stasis and promote blood circulation.

Tip 4: Wash your face with cleanser in the morning

I can’t wake up and don’t want to get up. In the morning, I often skip using facial cleanser to be lazy. This is also not advisable, especially after staying up late to work overtime. After a whole night of metabolism, the skin is actually not as clean as you think. If the dirt is not cleaned up and makeup is applied afterwards, it will easily clog the pores and cause blackheads, acne, etc. So you still need to use facial cleanser to clean your face.

Tip 5: Control the time of facial massage

Massage can indeed bring immediate results to the skin, especially for those who stay up late and suffer from poor blood circulation. However, the massage time varies from person to person. Generally speaking, the massage time for neutral skin is about 10 minutes. The massage time for dry skin is generally 10-15 minutes. The massage time for oily skin should be controlled within 10 minutes. It is best not to massage if you have allergic skin.

Secret Technique 6: Intensely Moisturizes Lips

Like the skin around the eyes, the skin around the lips is also a relatively fragile area. Staying up late usually causes the lips to become dry and dull. To solve this problem, it is recommended to use a lip balm with a higher moisturizing effect. It has a more watery texture and contains vitamin E for better results. It can moisturize the lip skin for a long time and restore the lips to softness and tenderness.

Tip 7: Light a soothing essential oil fragrance

Stress can also cause the production of a large number of free radicals. Before starting work, it is best to prepare an aromatherapy burner and some stress-relieving essential oils, such as lavender essential oil, rose essential oil, bergamot essential oil, sage essential oil, etc. Rely on plant aromatherapy to completely relax your tense nerves and make you feel naturally happy.

Tip 8: Take a lot of vitamins

While taking a multivitamin supplement every day, you should take some extra vitamin C and vitamin E before staying up late as a necessary snack to repair your skin that night. Both vitamins have strong antioxidant effects. Vitamin C can inhibit the formation of tyrosinase, prevent uneven skin tone after staying up late, and avoid the formation and deepening of spots. Vitamin E is an essential substance for human metabolism and cell synthesis. It can slow down aging, purify blood quality, and help improve complexion.

Tip 9: Raise your pillow when sleeping

If you have a bad sleeping posture at night, it is easy to have various facial shapes, such as a "chubby face". Taiwan's Big S once gave some tough tips to solve this problem. One is to drink black coffee immediately after getting up; the other is to soak your face in water filled with ice cubes. These are all quick solutions after the problem occurs, and some of them are a bit harsh and not acceptable to everyone, especially the second one. In fact, the simplest trick is to raise your pillow when sleeping to avoid moisture accumulation on your face or eyes.

Conclusion: Skin must be fair and tender to look good, but staying up late and working overtime can damage your skin, so be sure to pay attention.
