Face Creams – The difference
Choosing a face cream that suits your needs can be a difficult and confusing process. The sheer volume of brands and the benefits each product brings can leave you with a sore head rather than a smooth face.
The main face creams available today are day creams, night creams, moisturising creams and anti-wrinkle creams
Day Face Creams
Our skin is exposed the most during the day time. Everything from the sun, wind, rain, air-conditioned office to pollution effect our skin as we go about our day. It is important to keep our skin’s moisture at the appropriate level required throughout the day. A good day cream should keep your skin moisturised.
Night Face creams
Night face creams are generally thicker and heavier than day creams as they attempt to lock in moisture though out the night allowing your skin to get maximum hydration and regeneration. Our body repairs itself at night as we sleep, this is also true for our skin. Night time is when our skin is free from exposure to sunlight, wind and other skin damaging effects so to apply a cream at night provides our skin with the maximum potential of regaining it’s natural healthy state.
Moisturising Face Creams
These creams should be mineral oil free and fragrance free as they are used to provide the sole purpose of moisturising your skin. Some moisturising creams are used all over the body so again they should be free from gimmicks if you have sensitive skin. A good moisturising cream should be applied after a bath or shower whilst the body is still slightly damp.
Anti-aging Face Creams
This range of face creams should provide some sort of protection from the suns rays as sunlight will dry your skin leaving it aged looking. Also look for an anti-aging cream that contains Vitamins A, C, D, and E, and minerals and these will help with the healing process.
