How to use Night Creams

In the previous article we has spoken about night creams and which night cream is best suited for ones Skin in “Choose and use the Right Night Cream”. In this feature we will see how one should apply and use the night cream. Follow this simple DIY bedtime regime to apply the night cream and benefit a healthy and youthful skin tone. Ideally, you should apply a night cream an hour before you got to bed.

• First remove any traces of makeup or creams 

• Then cleanse your face thoroughly with a gentle cleanser, suited to your skin type. Rose water or any branded cleanser should be fine. Pat your face dry.

• The night creams are thicker as compared to the ordinary moisturizers so you need to take small quantities.

• Take a tsp of the night cream in your hands and apply the night cream in gentle upward strokes and circular motions by using your fingers. 

• You should avoid applying this on the area around your eyes and also on the upper lids of your eyes before sleeping or else you will wake up with puffy lids.

• Next comes the neck part. Take some more cream and in upward strokes again apply it all over. A little behind the nape of the neck will do no harm either.

A gentle massage on the face before bedtime is a perfect way to end your day’s beauty regimen and wake up to a younger and fresh looking skin.
