There's a reason it's called ‘beauty sleep'—some of the most powerful skincare products work their magic best when you're catching up on shut-eye.

Nourishing your skin with the right ingredients during bedtime is as crucial as taking care of your skin during the daytime.
From hydrating and repairing to restoring and rejuvenating the skin, night creams are the perfect solution for healthy and glowing skin.
Night nourishing is especially important for normal to dry skin, particularly during the summer months. Individuals with dry skin are prone to premature aging, and nourishing helps to delay the formation of early lines and wrinkles, keeping the skin smooth and youthful. Nourishing the skin at night before bedtime with a dedicated night cream is essential for normal to dry skin types. However, those with oily or acne-prone skin should avoid using night creams. Night nourishing also helps preserve the skin's elasticity and improves its ability to retain moisture. It tones the skin and enhances blood circulation to the skin surface.
A night cream should be applied at bedtime, following a thorough cleansing of the skin to remove all pollutants and makeup accumulated during the day. This nighttime routine ensures that the skin is clean and properly nourished, allowing the body's repair and restoration processes to occur efficiently while we sleep. Proper cleansing and nourishing help remove dead cells and accelerate the skin’s regeneration of new cells. Additionally, nighttime skincare routines allow for targeted care of specific areas such as the delicate skin around the eyes, neck, and hands, which are prone to showing early signs of aging. Massaging the nourishing cream into the skin also aids in toning the muscles and improving blood circulation.
