BENEFITS OF A NIGHT CREAM



BENEFITS OF A NIGHT CREAM

Day time creams are designed to moisturize the skin and tend to be lighter and nowadays they usually contain sun protection factor (SPF). Night creams don't contain SPF (which does make them feel different) and are often heavier and more hydrating.

Apart from keeping your skin well-hydrated while you sleep, night creams often have anti-ageing properties, containing ingredients like retinol and AHA fruit acids that fight wrinkles and fine lines.

Your skin is exposed to a great deal of stress and pollution on a daily basis. Over time, this takes its toll and your skin begins to lose its elasticity and firmness. At night, the skin “opens” up, allowing a greater absorption of larger molecules (essential nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals). That is why using a night cream is advisable before you go off to bed. It helps to moisturize, clarify, replenish, repair and restore your skin as you sleep.

How to apply 

Night creams are usually applied only before you go to sleep. Make sure you keep these points in mind before you begin using one.
  • Start with cleansing your face thoroughly using a gentle cleanser. Pat your face dry.
  • Now apply the night cream in gentle, upward strokes in circular motion, using your fingers. Avoid the area around your eyes.
  • Never forget to apply the cream around your neck. This is the place where the ageing lines are most visible.
  • Remember to apply the cream half-an-hour before you go to bed.
Advantages

The advantages of using a good night cream are manifold. It not only nourishes and revitalizes your skin but can also treat pigmentation, age spots, wrinkles, fine lines and acne. It also helps soothe your skin and promotes even complexion and fine texture, boosts collagen and elastic production, improves blood circulation, and reduces discoloration of the skin.

How to Choose a Night Cream


There are many products on the market. Make sure you look at the list of active ingredients and go for products that are rich in minerals, vitamins and contain ingredients like retinol, glycolic acid, salicyclic acid and retinyl acetate. All of these ingredients help your skin to increase turnover (meaning new skin replaces older skin quicker), which can help diminish the appearance of age spots and fine lines and wrinkles.
