Why Night Creams Are Important

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

Night creams are an essential part of any skincare regimen, whether it be to maintain beautiful and youthful skin or restore it due to the ravages of time and age.  With this in mind, many would ask why night creams are important.  After all, it’s just another day cream with a different name right?  WRONG!  I cannot stress enough the fact that you need a good night cream in order to get the proper skincare results you are looking for! 

Yes, it’s true.  A night cream is different from a day cream, and without it, you cut your results in half if not more.  This is partly because of the way the body works.  Frankly speaking, at night, your pores open up.  This doesn’t sound appealing, especially for those with large pores already.  But it’s actually a good thing.  The skin is able to properly repair itself and also better absorb things around it if you are getting that restful beauty sleep you need.  If you use a night cream therefore, they tend to be higher in moisturizers as well as using active ingredients, and you can therefore get the right results.

In addition, while a night cream during the day would actually clog the pores, your skin is prepared to deal with it at night, and therefore it can give the greater results you want without causing further damage such as acne or otherwise.  So when you ask why night creams are important, here’s your answer.  They help your skin to repair itself, which is well over half the battle.

Men’s Cosmetic Lines

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

Ever since the emergence of the metro man, it seems like there have been more creams, gels, and other facial and skincare products, even makeup and other cosmetics are becoming more popular among men and advertising in general, because although we don’t necessarily like the idea of a man spending more time in the bathroom than we do, but at the same point in time, we do like a guy looking good.  So therefore, men are more likely to cater to that. 

 

 They will dress better, use make up if they have to, and frankly celebrities have used cosmetics for years.  Even men have used it not only for parts, but in general terms.  So why not follow that trend.  That being said, there are male specific lines even.  You should remember not to pay more or for that matter trust them any more than you would others, because to be honest, skin types do not differ between sexes. 

They differ between individuals.  But of course, people aren’t inclined to think about it that way.  They listen to marketing ploys.  So of course, while there are some men’s lines that actually do have some of the right ingredients, don’t base your decisions on that, because of course it won’t hold out under the harsh light of day.

Wrinkle Products

I use day creams and night creams both.  Day creams are absolutely essential, because obviously you want to shield your skin.  You want to protect it, fight off future damage, nourish it, all the great 9 yards.  But you also want a night cream.  Night creams are extremely important.  They actually replenish your skin as it is repairing itself anyway.  They help you to reverse past damage, being the part that actually gets rid of wrinkles and so on instead of just protecting against future ones. 

 

You can use more intensive ingredients with a night cream, because your skin can handle it and even benefit from it at night whereas the same ingredients might cause irritation and otherwise in a day cream.  It is a fine balance.  But you definitely need both.  I’m just saying I value the night cream more.  Moreover, if you use a serum both day and night with both day and night creams, you will actually multiply your results that you would see with either one of those creams.  So a serum is also quite essential all things considered.  If you combine it with your night cream however, it can ensure even deeper seated results and greater benefits over a shorter period of time.
