Often overlooked, night cream is more than essential for an effective anti-aging routine against the marks of time. Discover why with Skineance.
The effectiveness of a night cream
Although essential in an anti-aging skincare routine, night cream is often forgotten by many women. Yet, this step in your daily routine plays a real role in the beauty and quality of your skin. Indeed, it is while we sleep that our skin regenerates the most.
What is the role of a night cream?
Day creams are very effective when you are looking for hydration. Night creams, on the other hand, are particularly effective if you are looking for anti-aging action.
In fact, night creams contain a higher concentration of anti-aging active ingredients than day creams.
Applying a night cream daily from the age of 25 helps slow down skin aging and maintain its natural radiance. Why deprive yourself of it?
Why is night the best time to apply skincare?
It is during the night that the body enters its repair program. This period of rest is used by our body to repair the damage caused by external aggressions during the day.
Our cellular activity reaches a peak of renewal between 2 and 4 a.m. Since your skin is more receptive at night, it makes perfect sense to boost this period of intense repair activity with a night cream.
How to choose your night cream?
The choice of your night cream depends on your age and your skin type.
In our blog article “Know your skin type to take good care of it”, we share a simple method to determine your skin type and the appropriate skincare for it.
How to use your night cream?
First, thoroughly cleanse your skin to remove all impurities accumulated during the day. Properly cleansing your skin is an essential step in your anti-aging skincare routine. To do so, use Skineance micellar water, which effectively cleanses the skin while respecting its natural balance.
Make sure to dry your skin well before applying your night cream. Although damp skin allows for better penetration of active ingredients, it also increases the risk of irritation.
Once your skin is cleansed and dry, it’s time to apply your serum and then gently massage your night cream over your entire face (don’t forget the neck).

Avoid applying your night cream around the eye area to prevent puffiness. Instead, opt for a specific eye contour treatment such as our Sensitive Areas Serum.
