We all know it is when we are asleep that our bodies repair themselves most. It is also at this time, more than any other time in the day, that our skin craves nourishment. Yet, how many of us follow a proper night treatment routine? Keeping your skin in top condition is important, and making use of the right face cream at night is one great way of doing so. With a simple cream, you can wake up to a revitalized and hydrated complexion. This list rounds up just a few of our favourite night care creams. Read on to discover exactly how to boost your beauty sleep!
For normal skin: when it comes to normal skin, it is important to retain moisture and keep your complexion looking youthful and luminous. Primordiale Nuit Skin Recharge by Lancôme, £35.00, leaves skin feeling healthy, radiant and visibly smooth. It also prepares skin against ageing by fighting free radicals, which makes it an ideal product for young skin.
For dry skin: this skin type requires a particularly hydrating night cream which will provide a lot of moisture. Look out for a face balm or cream rather than a lotion, as these tend to offer more intense results. Clinique‘s Repairwear Intensive Night Cream, £34.00, is suitable for the driest of dry skin as well as for dry combination skin. It keeps skin nourished and contains powerful antioxidants to battle fine lines and wrinkles.
For oily skin: it is important for women with oily skin to find an oil-free cream, which manages to hydrate skin without clogging pores. That is why we recommend the non-greasy and oil-free Mario Badescu‘s Seaweed Night Cream, approx £13.00: this light cream contains seaweed, collagen and hyaluronic acid to soften skin, leaving it silky smooth.
For combination skin: this skin type is tricky to please and requires a cream which can provide balance as well as proper nourishment. We love Babor Perfect Combination Night Cream, approx £50.00, made for both combination and oily skin. It is designed to regulate sebum levels and dryness as well as prevent ageing.
For sensitive skin: if you have sensitive skin, you are likely to experience breakouts, redness and itchiness. Look out for a cream which will nourish but not irritate your skin. We like Clarins Gentle Night Cream, £38.50: this cream is, as its name suggests, truly gentle to sensitive skin. It works as a great moisturizer and you will wake up with a refreshed and soothed complexion.
