Our skin does not have the same needs during the day and at night. During the day, it is recommended to opt for a day cream that is both moisturizing and protective, which is a "barrier" against external aggressions such as pollution , sun, cold or impurities in the air. But at night, the skin is protected and does not have the same needs.
At night, the best time to hydrate your skin deeply
The night is when our skin is free and regenerates. There is an increase in blood circulation: it contributes to the evacuation of toxins and waste accumulated during the day. During our sleep, we produce more collagen and hyaluronic acid , which give our skin its elastic and firm side.
The perfect opportunity to act when the cell multiplication activity is the most intense and where the ability to penetrate assets is maximum. Night creams - whose formulation is more thick and rich in active ingredients - will help to moisturize the skin, especially the past 25 years.
Recall that cell activity peaks between 2 and 4 o'clock in the morning, where the skin recovers most effectively, hence the interest of boosting this period of strong restorative activity.
We mainly turn to creams that come to standardize and detach the complexion, for a good-looking effect on waking.
How to choose my night cream?
Like the day cream, the night cream is chosen according to its type of skin: dry skin for example needs more hydration, and therefore a richer formulation, while a fine cream may be enough for oily skin. We also do not forget to select it according to the appearance of our skin.
It is very smooth and curved: I turn to creams with natural assets and a texture almost undetectable on my skin because I only need to moisturize.
It is dry: I choose a restorative cream, to overcome my tugging.
I have mature skin: I prefer an anti-wrinkle cream, to plump and firm the dermis and smooth my features. The must-have? A cream composed of hyaluronic acid to boost the renewal of my cells.
The trick: Apply your cream at least half an hour before going to bed so that the skin, which reacts differently during waking, otherwise metabolizes the assets contained in the formula.
