Have you ever slathered your face with Vaseline before bed? Have you considered using a night cream? Do you already? If not, you might want to consider it. While I can't say it's a necessity to your routine, it's definitely a good idea - especially if you want to further prevent or treat the signs of aging. Why? It's been proven that cell turnover rates are the highest while we sleep, and our skin absorbs the most of what's on our faces during that time. Would you rather it be absorbing nothing at all, or ingredients and moisture that are good for your skin?
My favorite night cream of the moment comes the Olay Regenerist line. When I picked it up just a few months ago, I fell in love right away. This product is a wonderful, effective night cream that provides some fantastic ingredients to both prevent aging and help treat it, as well as richly moisturize.
The Olay Regenerist Night Recovery Moisturizing Treatment comes packed in a jar with some great skin ingredients, including glycerin to attract moisture, vitamin E, niacinamide, green tea, and lavender - which gives it a wonderfully sweet floral scent that I adore. The niacinamide prevents moisture loss from the skin more effectively than Vaseline! (And have you ever coated your face with Vaseline? It's pretty gross.) It also increases fatty acid levels in the skin, and has been shown to reduce wrinkles, skin discoloration, redness, and sallowness. In clinical tests, it was also shown to improve skin elasticity - all making for a younger-looking you in your sleep. What's more, this cream is a joy to put on (unlike Vaseline) because it's so wonderfully moisturizing... yet it sinks into skin quickly and is non-greasy.
While you won't exactly wake up to the "look of a mini-lift each morning," you will awaken to softer, more hydrated, smooth and glowing skin that, over time, will keep looking younger and fresher.
Put away the Vaseline, girls, and try something a little better for your skin. Night creams are definitely a great way to put aging skin to rest!
This night cream is available for around $18-2o at places where mass skincare products are sold. Remember that right now at ULTA through July 26, buying $12 or more of Olay or CoverGirl products will get you a FREE CoverGirl Lash Blast mascara!
Do you use night cream, and if so, what's your favorite?

my fave night cream would be Clinique Dramatically Difference lotion AND moisture surge, and alternate it :)
I've heard such great things about these Clinique creams! Unfortunately they're a little too expensive for me, but I'd love to try them once I can afford them :) I've heard this Olay cream is a little similar, though. I'm happy with it!
you are right, they are pricey, it took me a lot of saving and really..a couple of dry skinned moment befoer I finally decided to buy it. I bought it early January of this year and i'm still halfway :)
Hmm..that night cream might be promising for me in the winter time. But my main concern is breakouts! Usually I don't use night cream, but in the wintertime, it's a must!
Fabu-less - Maybe consider trying it out in the winter! You can either apply a light or heavy layer, I've found, and the effects are the same. I'll stay on the lookout for more great night creams, too :) But yes, winter definitely means more moisture is a must.
I use the Olay Regenerist line and I love it.
It makes my skin feel so good.
