Why put a night cream and how to choose a suitable for your skin?

Applying a daytime skincare product makes perfect sense to you, but you're wondering why you should use a night cream. Let us explain how this simple gesture can make a real difference to your skin, helping it to glow from the moment you wake up.  

Pollution, dust, tobacco, stress: during the day, your skin is on the defensive. So when evening arrives and you settle into bed to regain your strength, it does the same! In fact, it's when it's finally able to rest that it triggers the mechanisms of cell renewal. Blood microcirculation is boosted, collagen and hyaluronic acid production is increased, and the skin repair process is activated. Using a night cream supports this natural process with targeted active ingredients tailored to your skin's needs. When you wake up, your skin is once again ready to face up to external aggressions. After removing your make-up, the application of a moisturizer provides an essential sensation of comfort, but night care doesn't stop there!

But after an intense day, fatigue often takes over and it's hard to keep your resolutions. To help you keep on pampering your skin even when you're not feeling energetic, here are our tips:

• Take care of your skin earlier

To ensure that your night cream becomes a lasting part of your evening beauty routine, remove your make-up as soon as you get home, when you still have some energy left. Give yourself a few minutes of cocooning transition and change into comfortable clothes before getting down to preparing dinner. By the time you feel the urge to sleep, you'll be ready for bed.

• Massage yourself

Make the application of your night cream a zen and meditative pause to decompress after your day. Spritz yourself with a soothing perfume, get comfortable on the sofa and massage your face for a few minutes. Don't hesitate to add a few breathing exercises.

• Be smart

Leave your night cream on the corner of your sofa to apply while you watch. Do you prefer to read in bed? If your skincare product is sitting on your bedside table, you won't forget it, and you won't have to go back into the bathroom to apply it!

While you sleep, your skin is active, which is why it's important to give it specific care. Applying a night cream will give you a relaxing interlude every evening, while helping your skin to regenerate.
