How to use night cream? Which night cream is best for different skin types?

As we can tell from its name, night cream is a cream used at night. Night cream does not have the isolation or sun protection effect of day cream. If used during the day, it cannot play a protective role, and the skin will be easily invaded by radiation and bacteria. After a period of time, the skin pores will be blocked, and new skin problems will arise. Therefore, night cream should not be used during the day. For more information, please see the detailed introduction below.

How to use night cream

Cleansing the face

Cleansing your face thoroughly is the most basic step before using night cream. Only by cleaning your face can the skin fully absorb the nutrients of the night cream. So when washing your face, you should use facial cleanser and try to use hot water, which will help open the pores and remove the dirt inside, so that the effect of the night cream can be better exerted.

Moisturize before using night cream

Night cream generally has a moisturizing effect, so before using night cream, you can apply a facial mask to replenish water, or use toner to moisturize your facial skin. Then use it at night to lock the replenished moisture in the skin, allowing the skin to stay hydrated for longer.

Use night cream

After finishing all the base work, you can apply night cream. Use your index finger to take an appropriate amount of night cream and evenly apply it on your face, then slowly spread the night cream with your hands. Note that when applying night cream, you must apply it evenly, otherwise it will cause uneven absorption of nutrients by the facial skin and fail to moisturize the entire face well.

First apply on the forehead, cheeks, nose tip and chin, then use the middle and ring fingers to gently apply in circles around the lips. For the face, apply diagonally outward and upward. For the forehead, use the palms of both hands to lift and apply.

You can also apply it in a "pressing" manner to avoid fine lines.

Proper massage

After applying night cream, you can gently massage your face with your hands. This can speed up blood circulation in the face, increase the utilization rate of night cream, and better protect the skin.

What night cream is best for different skin types?

Different skin types should use different night creams:

1. For oily skin, due to excessive oil secretion, you can choose a refreshing night cream.

2. Dry skin is prone to dehydration and drying, so it is recommended to choose a highly moisturizing night cream.

3. For combination skin, please pay attention to zone care and use both refreshing and moisturizing types at the same time.

4. When choosing a night cream for sensitive skin, it is recommended to choose a moisturizing, anti-allergic, and refreshing type. At the same time, be careful not to use it every day to prevent overburdening the skin.

Precautions for using night cream

Use night cream appropriately

Although night cream can moisturize the skin, excessive use will increase the burden on the skin, causing overnutrition and resulting in fat particles.

Best used after 10pm

It is best to use night cream after 10 o'clock, because the cell renewal rate is the fastest at this time, and using night cream can maximize the effectiveness of night cream.

Night cream cannot be used during the day

Because night cream does not have the isolation or sun protection effect of day cream, it cannot play a protective role if used during the day, and the skin will be easily damaged by radiation and bacteria. After a period of time, the skin pores will be blocked, and new skin problems will arise. Therefore, night cream should not be used during the day.

Combination skin types do not need to use night cream every day, or avoid the T-zone when using it

Night cream has the effects of moisturizing, whitening, anti-aging and firming. It is a magic tool for night skin care and can effectively repair skin problems. Remember to use it correctly.

Sleeping mask cannot replace night cream

Many people use sleeping masks at night, and then use them every day and stop using night cream. However, sleeping masks cannot replace night cream. Sleeping masks can only be used occasionally. Frequent use will cause too much burden on the skin and make the skin sensitive.
