Your body heals and recuperates overnight. Your brain processes everything you’ve learnt and done that day, your mind hangs in a peaceful resting state and your body goes about attending to any and all niggles that might need attention. Kateko Ramoshaba from skincare leader Clere^® says that your skin is a major part of the nourishing process overnight. “Our skin is exposed to the sun, toxins, and bumps and scratches throughout the day. The evening is the time to put back what we took out of our bodies – skin included.”

Ramoshaba offers a few tips to assist the process of nourishing your body at night:

What you eat & drink: Avoid fast food and sugars, and make sure you’re drinking loads of water throughout the day. Our skin is directly affected by our water intake – keep yours looking fresh and hydrate

What you put on your skin: Make sure that, after your evening bath or shower, you lather your skin with a moisturising body crème. Selecting a variant from the Clere^® range means that you’re providing your skin with 24-hour moisturising and getting a product that is enriched with pure glycerine for additional softness, as well as vitamins E and A for their antioxidant and repair properties.

What you put in your body: Most people take a broad-spectrum multi-vitamin, but if your skin is dry, you may want to consider including an omega-3 supplement. It’s found naturally in fatty fish like salmon, sardines and mackerel, and it assists in the regulation of oil production and will help keep your skin moist.

What you do during the day: Keeping active and regularly applying sunscreen will assist with making sure your skin is in tip-top condition.

What you do during the night: Sleep and sleep some more. Getting a full night’s rest is critical to feeling nourished and healthy the next day.

Clere^® has a variety of body crème fragrances, including the popular Berries And Cream, Power Fresh and Cocoa Butter.
