A product that works wonders while you're asleep seems like a distant dream. But a moisturizer designed specifically for nighttime actually does a lot of good for your skin.

Why buy night cream

We spend a lot of time exposed to the sun and polluted air, causing our skin to become dry and irritated. A good night cream can help us cope with the negative effects of the environment. The truth is that each product serves a unique purpose and has different ingredients that work best at certain times of day. Isn't it time to stop using day cream before going to bed!

"The purpose of night cream is to provide increased nourishment and repair the skin during bedtime. Night creams are also designed to address a variety of issues such as wrinkles, loss of firmness and dull skin," says David Jameson.

Night vs. day cream

"Night creams usually contain more nourishing ingredients - shea butter, seed oils and others. And day creams may contain UV filters and protective active ingredients that are not suitable for nighttime use. So, night and day creams solve different problems and have different benefits.

Applying correctly

"A night moisturiser should be applied after cleansing your skin, and after your eye cream and serum. Apply a pea-sized amount of cream to your cheeks, chin and forehead. Massage evenly until the cream is completely absorbed. The area of application is the entire face, except for the eye area.

A good night cream will help lock in all the positive aspects of the evening skin care. However, it is important to start applying it as early as possible, without putting it off until the last minutes before going to bed, so that the cream has time to properly absorb into the skin and not into the pillow.

Choosing the best

"Usually our night creams are designed for all skin types, so we recommend choosing a night cream based on your skin needs. For example, anti-wrinkle, lifting or even tone. Specialized night creams can solve skin problems in addition to their standard 'duties', such as nourishing and repairing."
