You can try making night creams at home from a wide range of organic, skin-friendly ingredients instead of relying on expensive, chemical based night creams available in the market.
Another advantage of creating a night cream at your home itself is that you are free to include items of your choice in the recipe. Moreover, those with excessively dry, oily, or sensitive skin can come up with specific recipes to suit their needs.
Night creams are supposed to be more hydrating than day creams and are meant to replenish moisture and elasticity to help rejuvenate the skin.
Regular application of a night cream can help maintain younger looking skin. However, make sure you cleanse your face thoroughly before applying the product.
