Day Cream Vs Night Cream

telomeres and HDL levels

I am often asked do I need both?  Well, I’m always keen to work with people to help them achieve their ultimate skincare desires, to have results & seeing for them a more youthful glowing skin. We know our skin does its renewing and repairing when you are sleeping, right?

layers of the skin diagramWhen it comes to a day cream protection is the key focus. We know a light cream is ideal under our make up always for a smoother look, but for night time when repair is taking place you require ingredients to enhance cell growth, good lipids that will penetrate deep down into the dermis and extracts to renew and assist collagen to rebuild.

Wearing a moisturiser with SPF or applying a BB protective cream over your moisturiser during the day will protect your skin from premature aging & having antioxidants and CoQ10 are essential in the formulation. We know sun exposure is hard to avoid, and is so very damaging however over the years it can be damaging and will increase wrinkles and lines – hence aging, also skin discoloration which is a big concern today.

Let’s have a look what else is required for our day cream. We need ingredients with good hydration, plumping and firming some day moisturisers contain repairing antioxidants, peptides and some stem cells which all combine to improve skin tone and also help prevent premature aging.

So, what does a night cream do?  Night creams are generally thicker, nourishing and richer as this is when the repair is done. For a more beautiful you!!!. Night creams are designed to be repairing and regenerating and to address signs of aging.

They may include ingredients like retinoids (Vitamin A) and extracts to enhance collagen production, skin smoothing, and even out pigmentation stem cells and peptides for cell renewal. I am a great believer that formulations should contain Vitamin C, A and B – these are paramount.  It is worth noting that these are best in night formulas because they can make your skin sensitive to daylight/sun.

If you suffer from dry flaky skin on your face or neck, then the best night cream will contain hydrating ingredients A rich formula that combines a number of essential oils, inchi, carrot seed  jojoba, avocado and rosehip will prevent dryness and flaking, as the skin will absorb them during the night to give you a smoother firmer look.  For fighting fine lines and wrinkles, a good night cream will also contain collagen-stimulating and plumping extracts along with the replacement of hyaluronic acid.

Day cream vs night cream… well, if you are someone only wanting one moisturiser, either choose a day cream for both day and night cream with most of the night nutrients in small quantities.

Beautiful Skin! And the products that hold the answer

We now know our skin needs two things to be beautiful: Water, and… Good nutrition.

As you age, your skin loses the ability to hold water and take in nutrients. That leads to dry, sagging skin. But we do have good news for you. You simply need an effective way to keep water in your cells and get more of the nutrients you need. Here’s how it works:

Step 1 – Cleanse Your Skin of All Impurities
Use our Organic Hydrating Cleanser with Lime Caviar

Step 2 – For protecting your skin from the sun, pollution, free radicals, and the destructive effects of aging
Use our No1 product CELL INFUSE Restore Cream to help your face look younger by restoring youthful energy levels inside the cell, and protecting against future damage.
Follow with Advanced Moisture Repair Hyaluronic Acid with Magnesium. And a little of CoQ10 Complex.

smooth hydrated beautiful skinWhen your skin cells have enough water, they hold their shape. That means your skin feels taut and elastic. The key is water… or more importantly, the nutrient that helps attract and retain water. I’m talking about hyaluronic acid (HA). HA puts back the water you lose with age. And that helps restore the tight, elastic shape you remember from your youthful days. When you retain enough moisture and give your skin the nutrients it needs, the youthful skin returns.

5 Simple Habits to Beautiful Skin

Skin care rituals do not need to be complex. The simpler, the better. Below are some simple tried-and-true techniques you can follow to achieve radiant, healthy and beautiful skin:

beautiful skin

1. Cleansing Routine: The importance of a cleansing routine cannot be ignored. For normal to oily skin, cleanse your skin twice daily. Do it only once if your skin is dry. Use a mild, natural, inexpensive cleanser designed for your skin type. You may add a couple of drops of rose, spearmint, or orange essential oil to your cleanser to boost its cleaning effect and aromatic quality.

Cleansing your skin is especially important before going to bed, because your body excretes toxins through your skin as you sleep. If facial pores are clogged with makeup and dirt, breakouts can occur. If you perspire a lot in your line of work or exercise heavily, then rinse off and massage your body with a coarse cloth or loofah before retiring to remove salt and dead-skin buildup. Your skin needs to breathe while you sleep!


2. Exercise: Try to exercise outside, to help oxygenate your cells with fresh air and facilitate waste removal through your skin. Exercises such as walking, biking, skating, and weight lifting improve cardiovascular fitness and muscular endurance. This translates into increased energy and a rosy complexion. If you live in a city, try to find a park in which to exercise. If city streets with all their pollution is your only outdoor option, exercising in a gym may be a better alternative.


3. Sleep, Blissful Sleep: If you are sleep deprived, your skin will look dull, tired, and saggy. Your eyes will become puffy and your energy level will be less than desirable. Sleep. It’s the best-kept skin care secret there is!


4. Sunlight: Ten to fifteen minutes of unprotected exposure to sunlight several times a week is essential to the health of your bones and skin. It helps your body absorb calcium as the skin has the ability to convert the sun’s rays into vitamin D. Sun exposure helps heal eczema, psoriasis, and acne, and energizes your body. Plus those warm rays just make you feel good all over. If your dermatologist advises you to avoid the sun, other sources of vitamin D include egg yolks, fish liver oil, vitamin-D-supplements organ meats, salmon, sardines, and herring.


5. Water: Water helps move everything along. What goes in must go out. Impurities not disposed of in a timely manner via the internal organs (such as the kidneys, liver, lungs, and large intestine) will find an alternate exit. This alternate exit is your skin which is sometimes referred to as the “third kidney.” Pimples and rashes may develop as your body tries to unload its wastes through your skin. Eight to twelve, 8-ounce glasses of pure water a day combined with a fibrous diet will help cleanse your body of toxins and keep your colon functioning as it should. Water also keeps your skin hydrated and moisturized.
