All About Night Creams

Night creams are probably the oldest and most traditional beauty ritual there is and over the decades, the selections and various formulations of night creams have gone from one or two to so many that the choices can be overwhelming.


Grandmother`s cold cream she applied before bed every night has been replaced by fancier and more innovative versions that promise a more youthful and vital appearance, fewer lines and wrinkles, more softness and suppleness, and all sorts of other claims. We`ll list some of the most popular brands we came across and what they claim to do and we`ll let our readers be the judge and jury as to which ones work best.

Why Do We Need A Night Cream?

It has been said by beauty experts and Dermatologists that night time is when our skin renews itself, heals itself, produces it`s natural oils, and rids itself of the pollutants and toxins it may have encountered during he day. The theory is that since our skin is at rest and isn`t being exposed to pollutants, that it is more "open for business", so to speak, to the treatments that we apply. Also, many people prefer focusing their treatment at night because there`s no need to coordinated their chosen cream with cosmetics. Hence, night creams are plentiful in supply and promise all sorts of phenomenal results.

Some We Found That May Be Worth Trying

Here, we`ll tell you about some we came across in our reading and what the brand claims to do for you.

Origins: Origins is a great line that focuses on more natural ingredients than traditional lines and can be found at some department stores or ordered online. Their night cream, Nit-A-Mins boasts a mixture of ingredients to increase hydration and also incorporates some great scents that promote relaxation and a good night`s sleep.

Prada: If you`re into the luxury buys, Prada makes a nighttime kit that mixes a great concoction of vitamins with healthy things like avocado and wheat. The kit contains not only a night cream but also a nighttime treatment for the eyes.

Sisley: Sisley makes a rich and intense night cream that is great for dry skin since it`s most appealing benefit is lots of hydration. It`s also got some natural ingredients that promote healing, like eucalyptus and Echinacea.

Jo Malone Orange and Geranium: This night cream sounds yummy enough to eat, although we wouldn`t recommend it. The focus of this night cream is reversing environmental effects through detoxification with essential oils of orange and geranium.

Barbor Vita: This night cream sounds more like a nighttime dessert than a beauty treatment as. It`s ingredients include Mexican honey and wheat, along with the hydrating and restorative benefits of Vitamin E. The focus here is on repair and restoration.

The night creams listed here a just a brief mention of those available, whether at the drugstore or the department store. Finding one that works for you and delivers on its promise may seem a little intimidating, but with so many out there, it may be a process of trial and error.
