Night creams for face skin

What is the difference between night creams and day creams? At night, all processes in the body slow down, but our body continues to work to prepare for the next day. And night creams will help with this. Most importantly, there are no protective components in night creams, because the skin needs them during the day. At night, special attention should be paid to the active ingredients that will improve the functioning of cells.

According to the biorhythm of the skin, from 18.00 the sensitivity of the skin increases, and it is better to apply the night cream from 20.00 to 21.00. It is in this interval that the mechanisms for the restoration of the skin are turned on. If you apply later, right before bedtime, then, firstly, the time of greatest activity will be lost, and secondly, the cells will take time to assimilate nutrients. In addition, when the night cream is applied, after 15 - 20 minutes, its excess must be gently blotted with a napkin. An excess of cream may appear on the face in the form of edema in the morning.

Needless to say, before using the cream, you need to cleanse your face with lotion. If you did not have time to pay attention to the skin from 20.00 to 21.00, after 23.00 it is better to simply cleanse your face with lotion, without applying any cream, since from this time lymph circulation slows down and blood pressure decreases, therefore applying the cream at this time can cause swelling. Can be used at night serum with active substances, which stimulates the elimination of toxins from the body. The serum should be used in combination with a night cream, but you can also use it without it. Then you need to periodically alternate it with a night cream.

The night cream always contains a component - retinol (vitamin A), which fights wrinkles, regulates the production of melanin, activates the processes of regeneration and renewal. Retinol degrades quickly in daylight, so the best time to use it may be evening and night. Retinol fights age spots, delays age-related changes.

If you have oily skin prone to acne, then night creams should contain sulfur, zinc, citric or salicylic acid. These components will dry out the rash overnight and prevent the appearance of new ones. These overnight remedies are usually labeled “non-comedogenie” on the packaging. Benzoyl peroxide is also part of the anti-acne components. It is he who suppresses the activity of acne. Extracts of nettle, chamomile, burdock, gentian, calendula and other similar components are also useful, which relieve inflammation and reduce redness.

By five o'clock in the morning, the body is reconstructed to the daytime regime, the production of hormones begins in it, and its protective properties are mobilized.

Try to sleep for at least six hours - during this time the body has time to rest, and skin cells will regenerate.
