5 reasons to stop smearing your face with cream at night

author Marina Tumovskaya: Applying a night cream on the face seems to many to be a classic of care. Once at night, the skin is more susceptible to the effects of the components of cosmetics, since the process of regeneration and renewal takes place, the skin needs to be helped. The choice of face cream is carefully thought out, and is often actively discussed on the Internet. However, nowadays a different point of view is gaining supporters (including among cosmetologists) - by applying the cream at night, we do the skin a disservice and contribute to it premature aging... Let's analyze the arguments of this point of view. Care for sensitive skin, for oily, normal and dry skin can be different than we used to think about it.

Reason 1. Give your skin a chance

Applying a cream at night, especially oily, nourishing, tightly "clogs" the skin. As a result, the skin does not have the ability to naturally renew itself, remove toxins and other harmful substances. If this intensive care continues constantly, the natural processes of self-cleaning and self-regeneration are greatly suppressed and practically stopped. After all, we do not allow the potential of the skin to express itself. Nothing good about that. We simply "put" the skin on the cream, destroying its own ability to regenerate. Permanent protection breaks the skin's natural immunity. Constant saturation with moisture and nutrients leads to the fact that the skin can no longer produce them on its own.

Of course, leaving your skin without cream overnight is not necessary for one day. In the beginning, you will have a "withdrawal" - the skin is accustomed to horse doses of creams. But after a couple of weeks, you will appreciate the result.

Reason 2.Unhelpful chemistry for the whole night

Let's leave those who use organic cosmetics alone for a moment and look at most women. The vast majority of women use night cream with chemical compositions... Just take a look at the composition of your cream. There may be parabens, refined petroleum products, a variety of far from useful substances that remain on your skin all night, may accumulate and not contribute to health.

It's one thing if you only apply them during the day, and then wash off, giving your skin a rest. And if, after the day cream, you immediately apply the night cream (after cleansing, of course, but that's not the point)? .. All this chemistry acts on you around the clock.

Reason 3. Even experts admitted it

It should be noted that some well-known cosmetics manufacturers have already recognized this concept of avoiding night creams. Although, as we understand, it is not at all profitable for manufacturers. Instead of selling another miracle night care product, the brand advises not to apply any creams. This is Dr. Hauschka, Martina Gebhardt and some others. It should be noted that these are brands of organic cosmetics.

And even his own, 100% natural and organic cream, made by Dr. Hauschka does not recommend applying at night, supporting the concept of fat-free care and maximum skin regeneration overnight using its own resources. There is something to think about, isn't it?

Reason 4. Swelling and more

Many women who have used the cream at night for years have noticed morning swelling of the skin. Incidentally, I am one of them. Opponents argue that this can only happen with the wrong cream. However, for years I have used a variety of creams, including organic ones, and the result was the same - morning swelling. When I stopped using the cream at night, the swelling was gone.

If, after using the night cream in the morning, your skin experiences the following problems, you should think about giving up such care:

Swollen face;

Wrinkles that appeared during the night;

Grease and shine that accompany you all day, or, on the contrary, increased dryness;

Pustules;

After washing, the skin dries as if it had been deprived of moisture.

5. If smeared, then not at night

Night creams are not called that because they need to be applied at night. They are intended for evening grooming. They should be applied at least 2 hours before bedtime, or even earlier, be sure to blot with a napkin. Many go even further - before going to bed, they cleanse the skin and tone it up. That's all - no cream for the night.

Personally, I have already tried cream-free night skin care, but since I have been doing this not very long ago, I can not loudly announce the results. What do you think about such night skin care - absolutely without cream? Have you tried this or would you like to experience it?

At night, the body recovers, from a full night's rest depends not only on the state of health in general, but also on the beauty of the skin.

Night face masks allow a woman to wake up beautiful. And this is not an exaggeration. During the day, skin cells are busy trying to protect themselves from aggressive influences environment... And at night, regeneration processes begin. Cells are more receptive to the absorption of beneficial nutrients.

Night masks are more effective than creams due to the fact that the concentration of active ingredients in them is much higher. Thanks to this, you can get instant results. Previously, a similar effect could be achieved only after the procedure of using a regular mask, followed by the application of lotion, serum and cream. Most women do not have enough time for this.
