Women’s Health Consults Dr. Green on the Best Nighttime Skincare Routine

>In the Women’s Health article “Dermatologists Say This Is the Best Nighttime Skincare Routine to Fight Wrinkles, Dark Spots, and More,” New York City–based board-certified dermatologist Dr. Michele Green shares expert advice on how to make the most of your skin’s natural overnight repair cycle.

Dr. Green also underscores the importance of moisturizing before bed. “Nighttime moisturization is crucial because it aids in skin repair while you sleep and creates a protective barrier that helps prevent moisture loss overnight,” she says.
