It wasn’t until recently that I truly understood the benefits of using a great night cream. Over the years, I’ve tried many formulas that promised to recharge and reset my skin while I slept, including a few whose price tag would make your eyes water, however, I never really saw the need to fully embrace them in my skincare routine. My thought process was as such: Sure, my skin often looked hydrated and radiant in the morning, but surely my regular day cream slathered on at night does the same job?
But all of that changed when I really looked into the benefits of using a dedicated night cream and the effect it can have on not only your skin's appearance but also its ability to protect and repair itself. You see, at night is when our skin switches into repair mode, combatting any damage that may have occurred throughout the day. It’s for this reason that many night creams boast an extra-rich formula that is packed with nourishing ingredients and hardworking antioxidants which sync with the skins circadian rhythm (or sleep cycle) to help protect, hydrate and repair the skin barrier while you sleep.
