    So… what’s happening at what time?

    During the day, your skin thickens and is producing extra sebum to help
    protect it from the sun and environmental aggressors; this peaks between
    midday and 3pm. It’s also working hard on repairing any damage which
    has occurred to its DNA. Due to these factors, as far as your skin is
    concerned, the afternoon is the best time to be exposed to UV as it has its
    extra defences prepared, and it’s repairing any damage caused more
    quickly than other times. Please don’t think this means you can skip the
    SPF though; it’s always necessary! It just means your skin is going to
    deal with the rays a little better than other times.

    Of an evening, your skin’s barrier has become a little more permeable,


    meaning that it’s letting things through more than at other times. This
    means products are going to be able to get into the skin more effectively
    and have more of an impact. Unfortunately though, it’s not just the good
    and nourishing things that can get through; it’s toxins as well. Your skin’s
    cell renewal processes are also peaking at night.

    Late night and early in the morning your skin is working hard to make
    new cells and replace the old, dead ones. Oil production is normally
    lowest at this time and your barrier remains quite permeable, which can
    also mean that water loss increases. For those of us who suffer from
    eczema, it’s the permeability of the skin’s barrier at this time which can
    lead to flare-ups.

    DNA repair and blood flow also increase overnight, leading to a boost in
    hydration levels; this is likely the reason your skin might seem to look its
    best mid-morning.
