Guide to Night Creams

Did you know that your skin is significantly more regenerative at night? It's been estimated that between the hours of 11pm and 4am, our skin is at its peak for regeneration! Our skin is more receptive to active ingredients at night and as skin temperature is higher when we sleep, products tend to soak deeper into the skin.

As this is the case, it becomes extra important that we are using hard working and nourishing creams at night so that our skin can utilise the benefits as best as possible! According to the Archives of Dermatology, ingredients like Vitamin A are perfect for applying at night because they help reduce wrinkles and promote the production of collagen in the skin.

Here on Nourished Life we have an extensive range of night creams that are suited to every age and skin concern!
