Understanding the Singaporean’s skin rhythms



Many of you agree that your skin is in the most satisfying state in the morning rather than at night. You might think that this is just because you are trying so hard to get yourself perfect by makeups or doing skincare in the morning. You might think that it is just the characteristics of your skin, and that you can’t help with it.



In fact, this phenomena is not coincidental, rather it is deeply attributed to human science of circadian rhythms. Circadian rhythms is known as internal 24-hour biological clock in that each cell has their own clocks enabling different type of activities according to the time of day.


The recent beauty trend has been to understand the circadian rhythm of skin cells. Skin cells are discovered to be most damaging in the afternoon and evening when skin is most exposed to UV rays. At night, repairing and renewal of the damaged skin kicks off.



According to STYLUS a reputable trend analysis, During the day, the skin functions to protect itself from environmental factors such as UV rays or pollution. In the afternoon, the skin is likely to encounter trans-dermal water loss as skin becomes dehydrated. Finally in the evening and night, the function of producing healthy cells to repair the damaged cells is activated.


According to the study of physiologists, the most active regeneration of human cells (skin cells) occurs between 10:00 pm and 3:00 am. The saying that beautiful skin is made at night is not just a made-up story. So if you want to have beautiful skin, you should not let your skin stay in tension. You should make sure that your skin gets enough sleep to take a relaxing break. In this respect, individuals who work without sleep at night do not provide skin with enough rest at the time the cells are reproduced and repaired.


As a result, metabolism of the skin is not smoothly carried out and the aged or damaged cells remain until the next morning. If such an irregular life pattern persists, aging of the skin accelerates. Even though you are young, various things such as black spot, freckles and wrinkle appear due to the fact that enjoying nightlife is a must for spending youth.


Furthermore, with the emergence of mobile devices, it has become so much difficult to maintain the appropriate rhythm particularly because of the great threat of blue light.



The fact that 4 in 10 Singaporeans, or 44 percent, lack sleep on weekdays is serious. The rate of 44 percent is significantly higher compared to other countries which normally account for 35 and 37 per cent. Moreover the percentage of the sleep deprived is far higher than the global average of 29 percent. What’s really striking is that the Singaporean sleep-deprived have the tendency to use mobile devices or laptops at night, which makes them vulnerable to be a victim of blue light and to a insufficiency of skin cells repairing.


Emphasizing again, maintaining the normal circadian rhythm of your skin should not be neglected. However, if it is avoidable that you need to stick to the unusual body clock, don’t worry. One of the prominent skincare product to fight for the unusual body clock of the Singaporeans is 'DIMOER RECOVERY SYSTEM SKIN/LOTION' for men by Anti-Clockwise.


At least, you need get a sense of treatment for yourself to go for a bed after the long day of hardship.
