Discover the countless benefits of an anti-aging night cream so you can keep your skin looking radiant and youthful!
You are probably familiar with the importance of using anti-aging products on your skin. You are also likely well-versed with the fact that using a moisturizer at night (and during the day) is an essential component of any effective skincare routine. But what about an anti-aging night cream?
These powerful, targeted treatments help fight the signs of aging whilst supplying the skin with moisture while you are asleep. The skin looks rejuvenated by morning and is better equipped to protect itself from the external aging aggressors it encounters throughout the day. Confused? Do not worry. We have got everything you need to know below.
The benefits of using an anti-aging night cream
You will want to understand the various benefits of different anti-aging creams so you can determine which products will best address your concerns. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, the benefits of an effective anti-aging skincare regime include retaining the skin’s firmness, refining the skin tone, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and boosting brightness and radiance. Sounds great, doesn’t it?
The difference between an anti-aging day cream and an anti-aging night cream
Wondering why are anti-aging night creams different to those made for the daytime? According to Los Angeles dermatologists, sleep enables the body to reverse everyday free radical damage through a process called cellular renewal. To help facilitate and accelerate this process, anti-aging night creams are geared towards repairing and treating the skin; they help the skin heal itself and prevent future damage from appearing. As well, they often have a thick texture which would not be conducive to wearing makeup and contain active ingredients that work best at nighttime. On the other hand, day creams are formulated predominantly to protect the skin from aging accelerators such as pollution, harsh climate conditions, and UV rays (hence, why many day creams contain an SPF).
There is an abundance of anti-aging night creams on the market formulated to treat a host of different concerns, so naturally it is easy to feel a little overwhelmed. The best method is to pick the symptom of aging which bothers you the most. For instance, if you are especially dehydrated, you may want to choose a formula that is deeply nourishing. Conversely, if you are beginning to notice the onset of fine lines, an anti-aging night cream geared towards wrinkles would be your best bet.
Here are 3 ways various anti-aging night creams help fight the different signs of aging.
Anti-aging night creams help re-hydrate the skin
According to dermatologist Dr Carolyn Jacob, the skin’s production of natural moisturizing factor decreases as we age, causing the top layers of the skin to become dry. Since our oil production slows, the skin often feels dry, parched, and itchy as it is no longer able to retain moisture as effectively. Ensuring the skin is adequately hydrated is the basis of anti-aging. When the skin is optimally moisturized, wrinkles appear less pronounced. In addition, the complexion looks plump and smooth, and most notably, the skin is better able to heal and repair itself. If you struggle with dryness and/or dehydration but have not yet experienced any noticeable aging signs, we recommend the Blue Therapy Amber Algae Revitalize Night Cream. The deeply hydrating anti-aging night cream is ideal for those looking to employ a preventative approach and decelerate the aging process. An intensive hydration sleeping pack with a melting, dense, nourishing balm texture, it helps replenish moisture levels whilst smoothing the skin so your complexion looks fresh and revitalized by morning.
Anti-aging night creams help fight fine lines and wrinkles
If you struggle with wrinkles, you want to look for an anti-aging night cream that can help counteract lines and smooth the skin. Think it is too good to be true? Well, science is on your side! A study published in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology which tested the efficacy of anti-aging products found that they were indeed able to reduce the appearance of both fine and coarse lines and wrinkle whilst dramatically increasing the moisturization of the skin. If wrinkles are your primary concern, the Blue Therapy Night is your perfect match. Formulated with Life Plankton™ and a. flos-aquae (known as blue retinol), this anti aging cream for wrinkles helps foster cellular turnover to smooth the appearance of lines so the skin looks more youthful.
Anti-aging night creams enhance your daytime skincare results
Many women find their skin starts to sag and becomes less elastic as they age. This occurs because we tend to lose the natural fat pad and collagen support that gives the skin the pillowy, full softness which makes it look youthful as we get older, so the skin no longer bounces back. Pair your hydrating night cream with an anti aging lifting cream during the day to see the best results. Blue Therapy Red Algae Uplift Cream captures the precious repairing power of Red Algae in an ultra-sensorial rosy cream. Skin is instantly soft and hydrated, velvety and smooth, and illuminated with subtle rosy radiance.
Now that you understand the importance of using an anti-aging night cream, the only question is: which is it going to be? May as well let your skincare get to work while you are asleep!
