Night Creams & Serums

Night Creams

Night Creams as part of your skin care routine

The night time to me seems a perfect time to let the beauty products do their work without having to apply a more moisture intensive cream during the day that will surely affect my make up regime..

Night Creams Versus Day Creams

A night cream compared to a day cream will generally have a more intensive and nourishing effect. A night cream will generally contain ingredients that have a more repairing action.

Creams work better at night

At night it has been scientifically proven that the skin can absorb more active ingredients and therefore any night creams or facial oils that are used produce a maximised effect. At night time the skin loses more moisture and therefore has the potential to absorb more.

Night Cream or Night Oil ?

The creams and oils will contain active ingredients that facilitate cell renewal. To decide which is better for your skin type it would be best to consult our Beauty Therapist.

More Active Ingredients

Night creams tend to contain more specific ingredients such as retinol, vitamin C and alpha hydroxyl acids (AHA’s). These active ingredients are then absorbed better at a time when the skin is concentrating on active cell renewal.

Do I need a night cream ?

This really does depend on your skin type. If your skin type is naturally oily then it is suggested you should not use a night cream.

Which Night Cream?

Which Night Cream Should I use?

As stated earlier this really does depend on your skin type

Oily Skin Types

Oily skin types should consider using a day or general moisturiser and not a night treatment.

Dry Skin Types

It is important that dry skin gains extra moisture and using a night cream will be a good idea to prevent the ageing process.

Sensitive Skin Types

It is important for sensitive skin types that they use the correct night cream, both Caudalie and Ad Skin Synergy are natural and organic products affording a sensitive approach to skin care.
