Face Skin Care

Want to look younger by day? Then you should be choosing among the quality night face creams to use. And, when you find one like I have, use it consistently and diligently.

Not only will a night face cream help you look better the very next day, but if you buy the right one, with powerful, natural and scientifically proven ingredients, you can make your skin’s appearance look smoother and softer over the months and years ahead.

Night creams should be rich in emollients and natural oils that don’t clog your pores. Although some of the best creams contain ingredients that sound like they will leave a heavy, greasy feeling on your skin, they shouldn’t.

Lastly, night creams should contain ingredients that can literally turn back the clock by countering the two major causes of skin aging, which are: 1) loss of collagen and elastin as we age (two vital skin proteins) and 2) free radical damage on skin cells (antioxidants that can penetrate into the skin are needed to counter this damage before it occurs).

The following are some of the natural and proven ingredients in the night face cream that I think is one of the best on the market. Some of these substances may also be available in other brands as well.

1) Shea Butter — a natural emollient and moisturizer. As such, it will soften up your skin overnight. With long term use, however, it can also help reduce age spots (brown spots on the skin); help minimize the appearance of scars and blemishes. And it also has a potent ability to fight skin inflammation.

2) Babassu – This incredible and natural substance comes from the Amazon. It has been used there for centuries for skin health. But now science is using it in high quality night face creams to help make the skin velvety-soft and smooth.

It also forms a barrier (not visible) that helps keep dirt and grime out of your skin, which is great especially while you are sleeping since no matter how much you clean your pillow cases, bed sheets, and blankets, there are always going to be a great deal of dirt particles, dust, and other things not visible to the naked eye that can get in your skin.

3) Active Manuka Honey. No, this isn’t like taking regular honey and rubbing into your face. This is a special type of honey that easily absorbs into your skin and is rich in antioxidants that help fight free radical damage before these free radicals do damage to your skin cells. While you sleep, active Manuka honey will soften up your skin

4) Cynergy TK — Get ready, this one is going to sound weird, but it’s one of the most fascinating, cutting edge and clinically proven ingredients you should look for in your night face cream. This natural substance is derived from a special type of New Zealand sheep wool. Sounds crazy, I know.

But studies show Cynergy TK is rich in keratin, which is a vital structural skin protein. Cynergy TK was pioneered by a New Zealand company to be functional keratin, which means it can be readily absorbed into the skin. Studies show it boosts collagen and elastin production in human tested volunteers, and also boosts skin elasticity and moisture levels.

You won’t tend to find these amazing substances in big name brand products. You have to do your research on the niche, elite, skin care companies that are pioneering a new generation of effective night face creams.

On my website, I reveal more of these natural substances.
