In Sync with Your Skin

We plan our day according to our biorhythm: coffee in the morning, exercise at noon, and relaxation in the evening. What many people don’t know is that our skin also operates on a fixed 24-hour cycle. During the day, it focuses on protecting itself from UV radiation, free radicals, and environmental stressors. At night, however—while we sleep—it switches to repair mode: cell renewal runs at full speed, moisture is replenished, and natural regenerative processes are activated. Understanding the skin’s internal clock allows you to tailor your skincare routine more effectively to its needs.

The New Zealand brand RAESO harnesses precisely this interplay. Founded in 2022 by beauty expert Katey Mandy, the entire skincare line is based on the principle of Circadian Skin Science—a scientific approach that adapts skincare to the skin’s natural rhythm. Each formula is designed to support the skin exactly when it needs it most: during the day to protect against external influences and at night to aid its natural regeneration. Do you have time to dive deeper into this?

For most of us, the day starts (along with a cappuccino) with UV rays, air pollution, and oxidative stress. All these factors attack the skin barrier and can contribute to premature aging. But don’t worry: Antioxidants are the little heroes of everyday life that help neutralize free radicals, while moisturizing ingredients strengthen the skin barrier and sunscreen (with an SPF of at least 30) reliably protects against UV-induced skin damage. The goal? To keep the skin resilient and optimally prepared for the challenges of the day.

The day is over, and darkness is falling… While we’re in dreamland and our brains are processing the day’s events, our skin is wide awake and working at full speed. The day’s stresses are processed, and damaged structures are renewed. At the same time, the skin is particularly receptive to nourishing active ingredients. Regenerating formulations now provide the skin with intense hydration, support its natural recovery, and strengthen the skin barrier—so that it looks fresh, balanced, and resilient the next morning. The takeaway? Apply the right active ingredients before bedtime.

RAESO’s concept of combining time-release active ingredients with bioactive plant extracts from New Zealand is innovative. It’s important to note that many of the plants used grow under extreme conditions—on coastlines, in the ocean, or in alpine regions with intense UV radiation—and have developed natural protective mechanisms over centuries. This extraordinary resilience forms the basis of the formulations. Apart from that, the packaging is also a real eye-catcher: minimalist, stylish, true designer pieces. The brand uses organically shaped glass bottles with a stone-like, matte finish. They’re made from 20% recycled glass and are intentionally designed to be kept as durable design objects.

This isn’t a traditional skincare line, but rather a holistic system that takes the skin’s biological rhythm into account. After all, modern skincare today isn’t just about choosing the right active ingredients—it’s also about using them at the right time. As is so often the case: timing is everything.
