Skin only rests when we are asleep. During this time, blood flow increases and rebuilds collagen to reduce wrinkles. It also takes this time to repair UV damage and age spots. 

As the skin cells regenerate quicker at night, reducing the amount of sleep we get can affect how skin looks and feels, often looking tired or dull. However, enhancing this natural process with corrective night-time ingredients can help make skin hydrated, rejuvenated and luminous. 

PCA Skin has launched its Hyaluronic Acid Overnight Mask, which works after hours to deliver intense hydration and reverse the signs of ageing during sleep. This leave-on treatment is formulated with the below powerful ingredients and natural extracts to produce a calming effect, so clients go to bed rested and wake up rejuvenated, bright-skinned and glowing.

First and foremost, combining multiple types of hyaluronic acid can create ultimate hydration. Sodium hyaluronate is a high-molecular weight HA that occludes the skin, attracting and holding 1,0000 times its weight in moisture.

This provides surface hydration to smooth the skin, minimise fine lines and leave it looking plump. Additional HAs such as hydrolysed hyaluronic acid and hydrolyzed GAG – both low-molecular weight – work by replenishing the HA in the skin’s extracellular matrix, benefitting it with even deeper hydration and reducing the signs of ageing. This powerful combination of HA maintains the skin’s water reserves and reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL).

Antioxidant niacinamide, a powerful yet calming super ingredient, also reduces TEWL and improves the skin’s natural barrier function for brighter and healthier skin by reducing melanosomes and increasing dermal collagen and protein production. It truly does have endless benefits.

Nourishing vitamin panthenol, a pro-vitamin B5, increases the stratum corneum hydration for longer-lasting skin moisturisation. It also soothes and reduces irritated skin by reinforcing the skin barrier and enhancing the repair. 

Anti-glycation agents such as albizia julibrissin bark extract reduce the formation of glycotoxins that damage dermal proteins and lead to reduced cellular function, or cellular fatigue, providing anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits. 

Finally, a natural lavender blend using sleep-enhancing technology optimises the quality of sleep through the power of scent.
