Why are night creams essential for all skin types. 

Skin care routine. Yes, it’s right there, routine. Having a routine is so essential, for anything to work.  Being frivolous about your skincare regime, is not going to work for your skin. Skin care needs  commitment! Following a routine persistently and consistently, may require an extra bit of effort, even on those days you are too tired to get out of bed, leave alone skin care. But, those are the days, your  skin is exhausted too and needs some extra TLC. A basic skin care ritual has three most important steps. The CTM method, being the most effective. Cleansing, Toning and Moisturizing. Yes, it’s just that easy.  These basic steps need to be followed twice a day. Period. No if’s and but’s. 

People often seem to get tired (or dare I say, lazy) by the end of the day. Just a quick rinse, and sneaking  into bed for some much needed me time with the remote control and some mindless Instagram and Snapchat scrolling. And on the few days your skin feels a bit dry, a spot of your daily moisturizer seems  sufficient. But, did you know, your day moisturizer does not solve any purpose for your skin’s nocturnal  needs. Let us spell out the difference between the two. 

Day cream vs Night cream  

Do we really need to buy two creams? Doesn’t it seem unnecessary to invest in both of them? The one  we use in the morning works well enough, why can’t we use it at night as well? It doesn’t look and feel  like, there’s much of a difference. Hello! There’s a massive difference. If you are keen on having a proper  and effective skin care regime, you need to have both of them. Day creams aka moisturizers are typically  light weight and meant to help you provide day-long protection. Our skin is exposed to various external  factors such as pollution, dust, grime, sunrays, smoke, blue light etc. during the day. We need a day  cream that not only prevents all this beating the skin takes but it also needs to be equipped to meet the  demands of the long day ahead. Moisturizers usually include a bit of SPF, that helps your skin from the  harsh UVA and UVB exposure. They not only provide your skin with the protection, hydration and  nutrition, but due to it’s light weight properties, it penetrates deep into your skin and blends in  seamlessly, without disrupting your daily wear make up. 

Our skin tends to heal and recuperate at night, since it is no longer exposed to the rough external agents  that are detrimental to the skin. At night, our skin is no longer actively just in preventive mode, it  promotes cell regeneration, which helps restore and revive the damage done to our skin during the  period of the day. Night creams are usually heavier in nature and have a more intense concentration of  active ingredients, that helps repair your skin, while you snooze. Night creams usually include Retinoids, Glycolic acid and AHA acids which increases the skin’s sensitivity to the sun, hence they can’t be used in  the day. Whereas they work to repair our skin at night, due to which they are a boon, as an addition to  your night time skin care arsenal.  

Choosing the perfect night cream according to your skin care needs is imperative. One needs to be  concious of their skin type and skin needs, to make an informed choice. Let us help you know what kinds  of night creams, each kind of skin type requires. 

• Oily skin- People, who have an oily skin type need to use a light, water based, non greasy and  preferably a gel based formulation. Something that won’t aggravate your skin by clogging up  your pores.

• Dry skin- Going for a heavy cream based formula is your best bet, if you have a dry skin type.  You need a cream that will not only hydrate and soothe your skin, but also something that will  amplify your skin regeneration. 

• Sensitive skin- The best night cream for someone with a sensitive skin, will be a light weight and  something that is hypoallergenic in nature. Looking out for irritants like harsh chemicals, strong  fragrances and parabens will also be extremely essential when choosing the best one for you.  

• Acne prone skin- Finding the best fit for this kind of skin can be a bit difficult. But the trick is to  look for a non comedogenic, purifying formula that can help getting rid of zits, pimples and  acne.  

• Ageing skin- Look for night creams that contain Glycerin, Retinoids, Vitamin E etc. that can  address your specific skin ageing requirements such as dark spots, fine lines and crow’s feet.
