BEST NIGHT CREAMS FOR ME

Ever been optimistic with your to-do list? It’s easy to burn the midnight oil doing your bit to make the world better. But don’t forget – taking care of you is just as vital. Sleep isn’t just a chance to switch off, your skin will thank you for souping up your snooze time with a night face routine, just for your skin type. Catching those zzz’s suddenly becomes 8 hours of face care. It is called beauty sleep, after all. With our night creams you’ll wake up looking more refreshed, ready to take on anything as your beautiful best self.

WHAT IS A NIGHT CREAM?

Good karma means that after you’ve been busy taking care of others, you deserve to be pampered yourself. It’s about balance. Just so when it comes to your moisturisers – night creams are the yin to the yang of a good day cream. They help to undo the effects of the day and target specific skin needs, whatever yours might be, without interruption from the outside world. Typically, the best night creams have a richer, more unctuous formula than your day cream. The act of slathering on an aromatherapeutic night cream can also have benefits beyond your skin’s healthy appearance, helping to create a sense of bedtime ritual, mentally preparing you to unwind and switch off for a more restorative snooze. And don’t we all need a bit of that

Knowing how your skin changes through one 24-hour period makes it easier to understand what your face most needs from your night moisturiser. Spoiler alert – during the day your face craves something very different to its nocturnal needs. The waking hours sees your visage coming up against the elements, fluctuating temperatures inside and out, grime and sweat, meaning day creams are primarily defenders, helping protect the skin’s natural barrier against all we face day-to-day. After all of that, is it any wonder that, just like our bodies and minds, our skin’s batteries need a recharge? To help with this, night creams’ modus operandi is to be replenishing, helping skin to soak up all it needs as we slumber.

As the earth rotates away from the sun and the moon comes out to play, in many ways our skin is just getting started on its own 8-hour shift. Far from the hard work your mind and body shoulder during the day, this kind of work is effortless, going unnoticed by us – as we’re off in the land of nod, our skin gets on with repairing its cells. In fact, during this after-dark downtime, skin cells are said to restore faster than any other time. While this sounds all good, during our sleep cycle our water loss is also peaking (after all, that’s 8 hours of not drinking the stuff!). That means the best night creams help support your skin to not only tackle this regenerative work, promoting skin cell renewal, but also work to restore moisture. So, forty winks for 8 hours plus one pot of our night cream equals? Help restore moisture and radiance to your face. Talk about a reason to be cheerful.

COMPARE NIGHT CREAMS

As with all of your skincare, you’ll get the best effects from your night moisturiser when you tailor it to your skin type.

If you’re not sure what your skin needs from an overnight face routine, try this test. When your alarm goes off in the morning, before you do anything else, give your face a once-over in the mirror to see how your skin has fared overnight. (To ensure you’re making the most of this experiment, go to bed with clean skin and nothing else on your mug.) This will help you to diagnose what your skin most needs as you sleep.

If your face appears oily, you’ll need something that helps you to balance out excess oil. If your skin is blotchy or feels tight, you’ll want a night moisturiser that’s been carefully formulated to help restore dry and sensitive skin.

Want to snooze even smarter? You might find that your skin changes with the seasons or is affected by hormones, stress or even a change in your surroundings (think drying-out air conditioning at the office). To counteract such changes, you could create a night cream wardrobe, choosing different formulations depending on the season – adding a turbo-boost of plumping benefits when you need it most during the harsher months, or upping the rehydration ante at sunnier times. Regardless of which of our best night creams you choose, you’ll find you’ve got one extra reason to smile and shine that little bit brighter when you rise.
