We’re always on a constant lookout for adding something miraculous to our beauty routine. If you ask me, ten years ago I wasn’t quite scrupulous to go large extents for my skin as I do today.
A lot of my prudence for my skin owes heavily to social media and strong marketing game by hefty brand names. Its almost like we are living in an era where the thought of living without beauty products is unimaginable. Our growing reliance on beauty products is both a boon and a bane but when chosen correctly, they are more of a boon than anything else.
Using night creams in beauty routine has become synonymous with healthy and flawless looking skin. After all, night time is the best time to pamper your skin and replenish it after long hours of daytime exposure to dirt and pollution. Before I begin with my review of 6 best night creams, I’d like to draw the attention of readers to some must dos if you’re pursuing beautiful looking skin.
- Always remember to cleanse your face before bedtime with a mild face wash to clean out the pores.
- Applying a rich face serum before applying night cream can be an added bonus for people with particularly dry and flaky skin.
- Steaming the face right before application of night cream can help absorb the cream better, thus, maximising its effects.
- Choose a night cream (or any other beauty product) with keeping in mind your skin type. Assess you skin for blemishes, wrinkles and dark spots or any other possible marks that you want to get rid of and then go for the product that is in harmony with your skin type.
- Lastly, all you need to do is get lots of beauty sleep. Its that simple! If you think that getting three to four hours of sleep at night can keep your skin healthy then you’re wrong.
- At last, be patient! As the famous business tycoon Bill Gates says “Patience is the key to success.” Patience is indeed the key because no night cream can do wonders overnight. You have to give it weeks and months for results to start showing.

Again, the cream comes is a round jar made up of glass which can be non conducive to travelling for some. The thick glass also makes it heavy and prone to breakage.
