When it comes to glowing skin, what you do before your head hits the pillow might matter even more than what you do in the morning. At Dose & Co., we believe true radiance is built overnight - when the body (and skin) naturally shift into repair mode.
Here’s how to build an evening ritual that works with your biology, not against it -supporting everything from collagen production to hydration while you sleep.
1. Start with Inner Nourishment
Your skin is a mirror of what’s happening inside. At night, it’s the perfect time to feed your glow - literally.
Collagen before bed is a game-changer. Research shows that collagen synthesis is most active during sleep. A scoop of Dose & Co. Collagen - whether stirred into a warm herbal tea or your evening smoothie - delivers key amino acids that support skin elasticity, hydration, and overall resilience.
2. Double-Cleanse Like You Mean It
Even if you didn’t wear makeup, cleansing is non-negotiable. Pollution, SPF, and excess oil can create a barrier that stops your skincare (and your skin’s natural renewal) from doing its job.
- Step 1: Use an oil-based cleanser to dissolve build-up.
- Step 2: Follow with a gentle cream or gel cleanser to sweep everything else away.
Your skin should feel fresh, not tight. That’s the sweet spot.
3. Feed Your Skin Barrier
The skin works overtime while you sleep - rebuilding its barrier, neutralising free radicals, and restoring hydration. Help it out by layering up with:
- A hydrating toner or mist
- A serum with peptides or hyaluronic acid
- A barrier-supporting moisturiser (bonus points if it contains ceramides or niacinamide)
This ritual tells your skin: It’s safe to repair now.
4. Set the Mood for Skin Recovery
What’s happening around you is just as important as what’s on your skin. Your environment has a direct effect on skin quality - especially during sleep.
Try:
- Silk pillowcases to reduce friction and moisture loss
- Essential oils like lavender to calm your nervous system
- Blue-light blockers after 8PM to support melatonin production
- A cool, dark room to enhance deep sleep (and skin regeneration)
5. Sip, Sleep, Glow
Hydration doesn’t stop at skincare. Drink water or calming herbal teas (chamomile or lemon balm) throughout the evening to stay hydrated from within.
And most importantly: protect your sleep. No glow product in the world can replace the power of 7–9 hours of deep, uninterrupted rest.
The Dose & Co. PM Philosophy
Prevention isn’t about perfection - it’s about small, consistent actions that compound over time. By supporting your skin’s natural overnight rhythm, you’re not just preventing future damage - you’re setting the stage for a healthier, glowier tomorrow.
