Night Creams
September 18, 2008
Night creams are just as essential as moisturizers and sunscreen. They can eliminate the tired and day-long stressed look from the skin. Night creams contain higher level of active ingredients and help in retaining the moisture of the skin whilst sleep. Whereas, the day creams are helpful for retaining the moisture content and for sun protection, the night creams are very much required for maintaining proper skin balance, repairing the damaged cells and giving it a fresh and healthy look. The ingredients are different for night as well as day creams.
Ingredients and Benefits
Night creams do not contain the ingredients for UV protection that are present in the day creams. An effective night cream must contain collagen, elastin and essential lipids to keep the face afresh even when sleeping and waking up in the morning. The antioxidant vitamins A, C, and E are very beneficial as they help in recovering the damaged cells and avoid further damage to the skin. Chamomille and calendula are helpful in calm inflammation whereas aloe, olive oil and jojoba are useful for retaining the moisture.
Application
The night cream should be applied in circular motion upwards and gently massaged on the face. You need to be careful with the upper eyelids as the application of night cream on that area results in puffy eyes in the morning.
Home-based night cream
You can even make your own home-based night cream by melting and smoothing 3 tablespoons each of almond oil, lanolin and cocoa butter and adding 2 teaspoons of rose water and ½ teaspoon honey after the mixture is removed from heat. This mixture can serve as an effective night cream once it is properly blended.
Hence, night creams are equally essential as day creams and they should be used regularly keeping the skin type and age factors in mind. There are certain night creams for anti-ageing that are not meant for young people. If you have a dry skin then you should go for a night cream that is having more oil content and if you have an oily skin you should opt for a cream which has less oil-content in it. If these choices are made properly, you can surely improve your appearance and look fresh any time of the day.
