It is necessary to use moisturizing creams from adolescence. From this time on, the epidermis is subject to rapid changes, and due to hormonal changes, damage and minor skin defects can occur.

Features and Benefits

The peculiarity of night face cream is that its texture is denser, which means it is absorbed more slowly. Their main difference is the presence of active nutritional components.

Main advantages:

• effective hydration and nutrition;
• maximum restoration of sensitive dermis;
• increased amount of vitamins and minerals in the composition;
• the compositions contain components that prevent the aging process and rejuvenate epidermal cells. The benefits of use are visible after several uses.

Kinds

There are several types of creams that differ in their functions.

Nutritious

Used for age category 25+. For younger skin, it can be used in the winter when there is not enough fat in the diet. Special properties: the presence of fatty acids (give an anti-stress effect), lanolin (beeswax) and a special set of vitamins that refreshes the skin.

Renewing

It is a product that increases the elasticity of the dermis and gives comfort to the skin throughout the night. The components in the composition are designed to activate regenerating properties. Base: fruit extracts, active components of seaweed, fatty acids, vitamin A, mineral extracts and plant-type estrogens - regenerate the deep layers of the skin and promote its revival.

For wrinkles

Many cosmetologists advise using anti-wrinkle night cream between the ages of 35 and 40. The main function of the cream is lifting. The product removes age spots and has a tint effect on the skin. When choosing an anti-aging cream, you should take into account the brand and carefully study the properties - they may vary depending on age (the compositions for ages 35+ and 50+ are different). Whole caring complexes are added to the nutrients, which include peptides, coenzymes, elastin and protein fiber.

Each type of dermis requires individual care:

• for dry dermis – thicker consistency. To saturate dehydrated skin, companies produce moisturizing cosmetics (they retain moisture inside the cells);
• Combination skin requires a moisturizer, a natural source of nutrition for the dermis. It is better to use cream mousse as an analogue;
• A product for oily skin should have an airy, melting texture. With a large amount of mineral components, the texture of the product does not clog pores. On the label it may be designated as a cream that evens out the tone of the epidermis. Has a triple action effect;
• Cosmetics for sensitive dermis should eliminate irritation and be hypoallergenic. The active components in the composition are herbal extracts.

Compound

Each component brings its own unique properties to the night cream. About the most interesting and effective additives in creams:

• aloe vera– is a natural antioxidant;
• sea ​​​​buckthorn– moisturizes the skin, makes it healthy;
• violet– anti-aging component, found in combination with other plants;
• shark oil- heals skin pathologies, regenerates and smoothes out imperfections in the dermis;
• snail secret- has a powerful effect. Creams with snail secretion protect cells from free radicals;
• tea tree– restores the water-salt balance of the epithelium, prevents the proliferation of bacteria on the skin. Tea tree oil is added to night care products for oily skin;
• vitamin E– helps protect the cellular structure from ultraviolet radiation, aging and dehydration. Almost all night creams contain retinol;
• almond extract– this component evens out the complexion and helps restore the epidermis;
• glycerol– is a natural moisturizer. Creams with glycerin tend to soothe and cleanse the dermis;
• collagen– a protein produced by the dermis is necessary to maintain its elasticity and firmness. Products with collagen and ceramides replenish the lack of proteins and even out the complexion.

How to choose

To understand what skin care needs at night, you need to take into account age, skin problems and the desired result.

1. If you like a certain product, then you should read the reviews.
2. Skin care products should be selected according to age. After 35 years, one set of components is required in the composition, and for 44-year-old women, a completely different composition is suitable. Young dermis needs hydration, nothing more.
3. The cream must match your skin type. For dehydrated dermis, denser formulations with active ingredients are needed, while for normal dermis, light, melting consistencies are needed.
4. Before purchasing, you need to read the composition. If it contains a large number of chemical components, then the product should be discarded.
5. Creams should be selected from the same manufacturer;
6. It is better to give preference to products in tubes with a dispenser. This way germs won't get inside.

How to use

Before applying the night cream, the skin must be cleansed of makeup and excess oil. After this, blot it with a napkin or wipe it with an ice cube: this will open the pores and the product will work better. Next, you can apply the cream. Simple recommendations:

• It is necessary to prepare the epidermis in advance. The product is applied to the face 60-90 minutes before bedtime;
• to apply the cream correctly, you need to distribute it along the massage lines of the face, from the center to the temples with your fingertips;
• It is necessary to wash off cosmetics before going to bed. Otherwise, the pores become clogged and the complexion becomes uneven. When applying the product to an uncleaned face, it rolls off and interferes with the natural breathing of the epidermis;
• must go to bed before midnight– maximum activity of skin regenerating functions between 2 and 5 am;
• with atopy (predisposition to allergies), The cream needs to be checked for an allergic reaction.

Can I use it during the day?

The effect of a night remedy is different from a day one. In the dark, you can use thicker formulations rich in microelements and oils, while daytime products have a light, melting texture.

You can use night cream during the day for dry and normal skin. However, the product is not suitable as a base for makeup - a film and oily sheen may form on the face. In addition, for summer it is too heavy on the skin. But for autumn and winter, night cream for day care is ideal.

How to make at home: recipes

The product can be prepared easily at home. Made independently, the products can cope with wrinkles, unevenness and swelling of the dermis.

For normal epidermis

Beat the yolks (2 pcs.) with a teaspoon of carrot juice, add a spoonful of beeswax and olive oil. Wait until the mixture cools down. Should be used an hour before bedtime. And it must be stored in the refrigerator.

For oily type

Mix yogurt (30 ml) with protein, add 5 ml of cream, 5 ml of table vinegar, and then the same amount of tomato juice. Beat with a blender and then leave to cool. With regular use, oily shine and blackheads disappear.

For dehydrated dermis

Mix strawberry puree (50 g) with melted butter (10 ml) and a spoonful of oatmeal. Mix thoroughly and then leave in the refrigerator. Using the product helps eliminate peeling and tightness of the epidermis.

Rejuvenating

Our skin is very sensitive to any negative influences and needs constant care. Proper care of her at night is no less important than in the morning.

All processes in our body are cyclical and the functioning of the skin is no exception. In addition to melatonin, the sleep hormone produced in the dark, growth hormone is released at night, stimulating cell division. Therefore, at night our skin is restored, the permeability of cell membranes increases, and detoxification processes take place.

This means that facial skin care products in the evening and at night will differ significantly in composition and effect from daytime creams. Manufacturers add active components to them that should not come into contact with sunlight. In addition, nighttime products do not protect against ultraviolet radiation.

Properties of the night cream:

• Tightening effect due to special components aimed at activating collagen production. Relevant after 30 years.

• Evens out skin tone.

How to choose the right product?

• Familiarize yourself with its composition, which should contain the necessary ingredients for skin restoration (for example, vitamins A and E, ceramides, enzymes).
• It is advisable that the composition be free of fragrance: for a night cream, what is primarily important is the effectiveness of its components, not the aroma.
• It is important that this product is declared as nourishing, moisturizing or restorative: during the night, the components it contains will have the opportunity to have a beneficial effect on the skin.
• Proper packaging - for example, a tube with a dispenser - is the key to ensuring that unstable components do not quickly lose their effectiveness.

Market Analytics

Facial skin needs hydration and nutrition not only during the day, but also at night. Therefore, it is necessary to take care of it even during sleep. And night face cream helps us with this. We sleep - it works: removes toxins, smoothes wrinkles, renews the top layer of skin, moisturizes and nourishes... In this regard, we are faced with the question: which product to choose?

The best night creams for the face: let wrinkles wait...

Our list contains both domestic and foreign night creams for the face of high quality, and most importantly - at very attractive and affordable prices. This will be interesting to many women. With a huge range of skin care products available, it is important to know how to choose the right night cream for your face. After all, it often happens that the product not only does not help improve the condition of the epidermis and appearance, but also aggravates the problems.

Simple selection rules

Before choosing any facial care product, you need to determine your skin type. It is also important what effect we want to get in the end. To do this, you need to follow a few tips to purchase a night face cream that is right for you.

• The cream should both nourish and moisturize the skin. The nourishing product necessarily contains natural oils, the best time of action of which is overnight. And also during sleep you are not at all afraid of oily skin.
• Manufacturers of quality products care about the effectiveness of their products and focus on the action of the night cream, and not on its smell. Therefore, a high-quality product will not contain perfumes.
• Night cream for facial skin should restore and regenerate at least the upper layers of the epidermis.
• If the product contains unstable ingredients, for example vitamin C, which is destroyed in daylight, then you should prefer a tube with a dispenser, since if you choose another package, the effectiveness of the cream is quickly lost.

Facial skin type is the main criterion in choosing a night cream.

Normal skin

Choosing a night cream for the face with normal skin that is not prone to acne is much easier. In the summer, it is worth choosing a lighter product. It will help maintain skin balance while you sleep. It is desirable that the cream contains vitamins, antioxidants and plant extracts. In the cold season, it is better to prefer products that contain plant and fruit oils.

Dry skin

To care for the skin type in question, creams containing light oils are usually used. Those who want to not only maintain the good condition of the epidermis, but also improve it, should choose products containing lactic or glycolic acid. They help dry skin renew itself quickly.

Oily and problematic facial skin

When caring for oily skin, creams containing oils should be avoided. They can clog pores very easily. Preference should be given to products that contain plant extracts, including aloe, peptides, ceramides and hyaluronic acid.

Night face cream “Nutrition and restoration”

A gentle and effective cream, jointly developed by cosmetologists of the Swiss company Cosmotec and the Russian brand Natura Siberica. The latest technologies and extracts of many alpine plants were used in its production.

The product is based on shea butter and jojoba oils - they have moisturizing properties and give elasticity to the skin. Alpine elderberry acts as an anti-inflammatory agent. And lavender is known for its calming properties. Wheat proteins form a film on the skin, providing it with nutrition. Lethargy and wilting of the integument are prevented by the oils of geranium and alpine chamomile.

This wonderful cream, part of the modern Natura Siberica product line, gently cares for your skin while you sleep, activating metabolic processes and binding free radicals. This significantly increases cell immunity. You need to apply the cream every day before going to bed on skin cleansed of cosmetics.

Night face cream “Hyaluronic filler 3D”

Recently, the products of the cosmetic company Libriderm have become widespread. This company's night face cream primarily serves to reduce wrinkles. The product is based on an innovative formula - 3D hyaluronic acid (molecules of different weights). This allows you to provide effective care for different layers of skin at the same time.

Night restorative cream and a new generation non-injection rejuvenating facial product in one bottle - “Hyaluronic Filler 3D” - can work wonders during sleep. According to the manufacturers, the product:

• Perfectly moisturizes and nourishes the skin with moisture, relaxes it and fights signs of fatigue.
• Restores the epidermis.
• Long-term use slows down the formation of wrinkles.
• Significantly improves the condition of the skin - it looks radiant, smooth and rested, without swelling.

Before using the cream, you need to thoroughly cleanse the skin of your face and, of course, your neck and décolleté. Apply the product with light movements 2 hours before bedtime.

The company's specialists have created a convenient vacuum dispenser for using the cream. But before the first use, it is necessary to pump it several times, and you should also check the tightness of the packaging lid. This ensures minimal contact of the contents of the dispenser with air, which allows you to maintain the quality and effectiveness of this product for a long time.

Women over 30 need to use a fairly effective night face cream. Reviews about the product “Hyaluronic Filler 3D” are mostly positive. The only complaints are that the dispenser volume is too small - only 30 ml, as well as the increased content of perfumed fragrances in the cream.

Nivea Revitalizing Night Cream for all skin types

The most ideal time for restoration, regeneration and rest of skin cells is night. Specialists from the German cosmetics company Nivea have created Aqua Effect, an intensive restorative night cream. It penetrates deeply into the skin, perfectly nourishes and moisturizes it, regenerates, restores and creates excellent and long-lasting protection against aggressive environmental influences.

Overnight, the skin is saturated with beneficial microelements and, according to consumers, looks rested, soft and radiant. The composition of the cream is selected in such a way that it is able to saturate the epidermis with the necessary energy and effectively promotes the regeneration process.

Nivea night cream should be applied every evening before bed. Do this after cleansing your face.

Nivea Aqua Effect is the perfect night cream for the face. Reviews from women who have already used this product indicate that it is perfectly absorbed and does not leave a greasy film. moisturizes, does not contain fragrances and does not cause allergic reactions.

Before use, cleanse the face, neck and décolleté. Apply the cream before going to bed.

Harmful substances contained in face creams

Along with very valuable natural ingredients, not very useful substances are added to creams as preservatives, antifungal agents, etc. Let's consider several of the most common of them.

1. Parabens. In recent years, cosmetics without this component have become very popular. The fact is that many consumers associate the presence of parabens in products with the risk of developing cancer. But these rumors are unfounded. After all, this ingredient does not accumulate in the body, but is completely broken down and removed from it. Parabens are an indispensable component in cosmetics, as they very effectively fight fungi and are an antibacterial agent.

2. Mineral oil. Also the most common component in many creams. It is obtained from oil. But if this oil has undergone multi-stage purification, then it becomes hypoallergenic and healthy. Creams containing mineral oil should be avoided by those with oily skin, as the product will clog pores.

3. Ionol. Can be used in creams as an ingredient that can mask odors. It is a strong allergen and irritates the mucous membrane of the skin and eyes.

4. Triethanolamine. Used as an odor masker in cosmetics. Strong allergen.

A few words in conclusion

For more effective skin care, it is advisable to choose a night face cream of the same brand as the daytime product. For example, if you use Nivea cream during the day, then it is also better to use a product of the same brand at night.

Basic rules for choosing a night cream for the face, why it is needed, how it should act and what to expect in the end. About ingredients, as well as harmful substances in cosmetics.

At first it may seem that choosing the right night cream is a simple task, what a choice, wow! However, when you start searching and more than once come across products that not only do not improve, but also aggravate the skin condition, you understand what a blessing it is to find your product and rejoice when looking in the mirror every morning.

It happens that we choose the wrong face cream, be it night or day. However, we must admit that in addition to this, there are also cosmetics that are not very effective and even of poor quality, so it is advisable to carefully study each product that you are going to use.

Basic rules for choosing a night face cream

Before choosing any facial care product, it is important to know your facial skin type and what you want to get in the end.

Before getting into the details, there are a few factors that you should always consider:

• Night cream should restore and accelerate skin regeneration;

• A high-quality cream will not contain perfume or other deodorizing substances. The emphasis should be on its action, not on its sensations. Manufacturers who really care about the effectiveness of their cosmetics do not add fragrances to them;

• Nourish and moisturize the skin. Nourishing creams are the ones that contain vitamins and natural oils. If there is a right time to use them, it is definitely at night. Firstly, they have time to act, and secondly, a little shine on the skin is not scary during sleep;

• Contain ingredients that help restore and regenerate the epidermis, such as, for example, adenosine, ceramides, enzymes, peptides, vitamins A and E, retinol and others. Why there is no point in investing in collagen cream, read the material Face cream with collagen;

• The packaging must be appropriate. If the cream contains unstable ingredients, such as vitamin C, for example, then the best packaging is a tube with a dispenser. In this sense, many companies commit the sin of incorrectly packaging perfectly formulated products that, after the first opening, very quickly lose their effectiveness.

What is the difference between night cream and day cream?

Unlike day cream, night cream usually has a heavier texture, is not absorbed as quickly and can leave shine, since natural oils are usually added to them. But this is by no means a rule. Night cream can also have a light texture and absorb quickly, especially if it is intended for oily skin.

The main difference between night and day cream should still be in the composition. In the night cream, the manufacturer is not afraid to add effective ingredients that are unstable when in contact with sunlight, for example.

A renewing cream with a small amount of acids or retinol should definitely be used at night, as both of these ingredients increase the skin's sensitivity to ultraviolet rays. During the period of using such creams, you need to take care of reliable sun protection during the day, otherwise you can get a skin reaction in the form of age spots.

The second difference is the absence of UV filters. Modern cosmetic companies rarely forget that during the day, the epidermis needs protection from harmful ultraviolet rays, therefore, as a rule, a small protection factor is present in every day face cream, which cannot be said about night care products.

Choosing a night cream based on your skin type

• Normal to dry skin

If your skin is normal, acne does not bother you, but in winter you need additional care, then you have a much wider choice. In the summer, choose a lighter cream at night, maybe even a restorative serum. The main thing for you is to maintain the balance of your facial skin, so look for creams with vitamins and antioxidants, plant and fruit extracts. In winter, a night cream containing light oils (grape, rosehip, peach) will be very useful.

• Dry face

Natural oils are most often used to care for dry skin, however, if you want to improve its condition, and not just maintain it in the same form, you need to think about exfoliation. Creams, serums and lotions containing small amounts of lactic or glycolic acid will help the epidermis renew and regenerate faster.

• Night cream for oily and problem skin

Those with oily skin need to be careful with creams containing oils, as they clog pores very easily. Luckily, you can find oil-free night creams. Proper night care for oily skin will include a cream containing hyaluronic acid, adenosine, peptides, ceramides, aloe, plant and herbal extracts.

Harmful substances in face creams

There are a huge number of harmful substances in personal care products. In this article we will discuss some of the most common ones:

Mineral oil– There are a lot of prejudices about mineral oil, but in general it is not as bad as many people think. Yes, it is obtained from oil, but with a high degree of purification, this oil becomes one of the most hypoallergenic and is very useful in many creams. It clogs pores - yes, but most natural oils have this disadvantage. In general, mineral and other oils in cosmetics should be avoided by those with oily and acne-prone skin. Dry skin, on the contrary, will be protected by this oil.

Parabens. Recently, paraben-free cosmetics have become especially popular. Many people began to link parabens with cancer due to misinterpretation of the results of one study conducted in 2004. Today there is no evidence that parabens “accumulate somewhere and cause cancer”; they are completely metabolized by the body. In fact, those parabens that are used as preservatives in cosmetics are identical to natural phytoestrogens. Parabens are an indispensable ingredient in cosmetics, as they are very effective against fungi and bacteria.

Ionol (Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT))- used as an antioxidant and odor masking ingredient. Quite a strong allergen, irritates sensitive skin and eyes.

Triethanolamine- used to mask odor in cosmetics, a strong allergen of moderate toxicity.

Imidazolidinyl urea– in a sense, this substance is a kind of proof of what fears lead to. This is a preservative; many manufacturers now use it so as not to scare off their customers with the terrible word PARABENE. The buyer is happy, because he is calm in his confidence that he did himself a huge favor by choosing “paraben-free” cosmetics, but in fact he gets something much worse. Imidazolidinyl urea formaldehyde is a toxic substance and a strong allergen.

Review of the most popular night face creams

• Clarins Multi-Active Night

Quite an expensive cream, especially considering the fact that the formula and ingredients do not stand out in any way. Contains a lot of fragrance and perfumes, which is not good, especially for a night cream that should restore the skin and not irritate it. All that can be expected after using this cream is softening and a little moisturizing, but not a reduction in fine wrinkles as the manufacturer promises.

• Decleor Aroma Night

Already from the name it is clear that this cream is more related to aromatherapy than to professional facial skin care. You can’t use products with such a large amount of fragrance and perfume every day. Even if it is not always noticeable on the surface, believe me, your skin is suffering and this prevents it from fully recovering.

• Shiseido Benefit WrinkleResist24

Unfortunately, I had the opportunity to try this cream on myself. It's expensive, but not worth the money. There was not only no effect, but the skin on my face began to look worse. Now, having learned to distinguish a little between ingredients in cosmetics, I understand why. The basis of this cream is paraffin, wax and Vaseline. There is some vitamin E, a couple of plant extracts and a lot of fragrance and perfume. With this composition, what kind of fight against wrinkles can we talk about?! It's a pity for the money.

• Night cream Liftactiv Nuit, Vichy

A good softening cream for dry skin, however, this is where all the benefits of this product end. It is very expensive, but you should not expect any restoration or fight against signs of aging.

• Yes to Blueberries Age Refresh Overnight Hydrating cream

The basis of this cream is blueberry juice and also contains a number of good ingredients to soften and moisturize the skin, as well as plant extracts. Packaged in a jar with a dispenser, which is good for the stability of the ingredients and also from a hygiene point of view. Moisturizes without leaving a greasy shine. The ingredients also include vitamin E, retinol, olive oil and sea buckthorn oil.

• RoC RetinOx Deep Wrinkle Night cream

One of the most popular night face creams. The main active ingredient in this cream is retinol. It is retinol that actively fights the signs of aging and the first wrinkles. RoC products are also good because they are fragrance-free and are usually packaged accordingly.

• Olay complete night

A good moisturizer is light and absorbs easily. Main active ingredients: aloe vera juice, glycerin, vitamin E and salicylic acid.

• Neutrogena AntiWrinkle cream, night

Inexpensive, fragrance-free and properly packaged night cream. Contains a large amount of green tea extract, which is a powerful antioxidant, also vitamin E, retinol, panthenol and glycerin.

Wow, this was a long article, but I tried to make it as informative and useful as possible, since I learned many selection rules from my own experience after numerous trials and errors.
