Have you ever considered pampering your skin before bed? What exactly does a moisturizer do at night? This common question has a simple answer: moisturizing at night is essential for maintaining the health and youthfulness of your skin.
Let's dive into the importance and benefits of applying moisturizer before you sleep.
The Role of Moisturizer
Moisturizers are truly superheroes in skincare, its primary role of a “face moisturizer” is to add humidity to the skin and help to prevent it from drying out again. This hydration is very important to overall skin health, specially to maintain a strong healthy barrier, to avoid dark spots, wrinkles, etc.
However, moisturizers offer a range of additional benefits that are worth exploring.
Why Moisturizing at Night is Crucial
Do you feel a moisturizer is an unnecessary step in your night routine? Trust us, it's critical. While you sleep, your skin naturally loses moisture, leading to a dull, rough, and dry appearance, so applying an extra effort or reinforcing the humidity before going to bed is key. Don't even consider skipping it!
Even oily skin needs moisturizer at night?
The short answer is: yes. Moisturizing helps keep the skin hydrated and regulates oil production, which can reduce excess oiliness over time.
If you have oily skin look for light, oil-free moisturizers or gel-based formulas that won't clog pores or feel heavy on your skin. For example, our Post Workout Gel Mask with hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and niacinamide that provide hydration without adding excess oil.
Or C-bomb Moisturizer, an oil free formula with vitamin c and panthenol, specially designed to defend your skin against everyday stressors.
What to look for in a moisturizer
Choosing the right moisturizer is key to effective skincare, this can be a serum or cream. We recommend to look for moisturizer that contain:
- Hyaluronic acid
- Vitamin C
- Panthenol
- Centella asiatica
- Green tea
Jess Beauty tip: Ensure your night moisturizer is non-comedogenic to avoid clogged pores.

Best Time To Use Moisturizer
Moisturizer is a vital step in both your morning and night skincare routines. Applying it before bed is particularly important as your skin enters repair mode at night. A nighttime moisturizer supports your skin's natural renewal process and prevents overnight dehydration, ensuring you wake up with a glowing complexion.
Jess Beauty tip: Do you feel uncomfortable putting something on your face at night? Then it's better to apply moisturizer 30 to 45 minutes before bedtime and wash it off with plain water.
