Why does OHA make products for use at night, and why do they feel that night treatments are vital for truly healthy skin?
Avoiding night treatments stems from the idea that the skin needs to breathe as it regenerates at night. Unfortunately, with our modern lifestyles, there are many environmental and stress related issues that compromise the healthy regeneration of skin cells. At night it is very important to protect the cells from free radical damage and the inflammation that occurs during the day. Skin does need to breathe at night, so a night treatment must be able to penetrate to the dermal layer rather than sit on the surface of the skin or block the follicles. OHA’s Night Cream, and other OHA products recommended for night use, effectively penetrates due to the natural accord with the lipids of the skin. It is lighter than most night creams, provides antioxidant and anti-inflammatory protection to the skin, and supplies beneficial nutrients to assist in the healthy regeneration of skin cells.
