HOW TO LAYER NIGHT SKINCARE

While we sleep, our skin goes through a process of healing and regeneration – a process that is complemented by a night time skincare routine. During the day, our skin is tasked with fending off environmental stressors like pollution, harsh winds and sun damage. When night arrives, this signifies a time to cleanse, hydrate and replenish so the skin can effectively repair itself while we rest. If you’re wondering what the best night skincare routine is for your skin and how to layer night skincare, we’ve curated this guide to help you find the most suitable products depending on your beauty goals and concerns. First, let’s delve into the main differences between a morning vs night skincare routine.

Morning vs night skincare routine

To ensure best results, your morning skincare routine should differ slightly from your night time routine. Here are the main differences:

Cleansing: While a morning skincare routine typically requires a single cleanse, night time skincare routines involve double cleansing. This process removes sunscreen or makeup products on the skin and will leave you feeling luminous.
Serums: The serums you use in the morning and at night have different purposes. A daytime serum hydrates the skin, protects it from daily pollution and deliver concentrated ingredients like antioxidants, whereas night time serums deliver extra nourishment to skin while you sleep.
Moisturisers: Your morning routine should involve a broad-spectrum SPF to protect your skin from UV exposure. Conversely, your night time routine should include a thicker or creamier hydrating moisturiser.

A guide to night time skincare steps

Establishing a night time skincare routine that works for your skin and lifestyle is a key element for achieving healthy-looking skin. If you’re searching for a simple night skincare routine, we’ve collated a step-by-step guide:

Step one: Cleanse the skin with a cleanser that supports your skin type.

Step two: Once or twice per week, apply a face mask after cleansing and allow the nutrients in sink into the skin for ten to twenty minutes, depending on the packaging instructions.

Step three: Apply face and eye serums.

Step four: Gently apply eye cream to the delicate under eye area.

Step five: Finalise your routine with a hydrating moisturiser.

Step one: Use a cleanser that is suitable for your skin type

Cleansing is a fundamental step to any night time skincare routine. Even if you wear minimal to no makeup, cleansing not only removes residue from the day, but it allows skin the space to recover and hydrate overnight. The Crema Nera Cleansing Moisturiser has been designed for supreme clarity while moisturising the skin. Suitable for all skin types, this cleansing moisturiser releases oil droplets to trap impurities from the day. The skin is left feeling clean and balanced, and ready for deep sleep.

For those who prefer a hydrating foaming cleanser or a soap free formula, the Crema Nera Supreme Foam-In-Cream Cleansing Moisturiser indulges skin with the cleansing efficiency of a soap without the dryness, and sees results for all skin types.

Step two: Pamper the skin with a face mask

Elevate your night time skincare routine with the Crema Nera Reviving Volcanic Black Gel Mask. Infused with Reviscentalis and volcanic powder, this gel mask dissolves skin pollutants and reveals a glowing complexion. Alternatively, the Crema Nera Instant Reviving Cream Mask acts as an anti-ageing cream face mask and offers visible skin radiance in just twenty minutes. For a truly luxe experience, each box includes five masks.

Step three: Apply an anti-ageing face serum

Face serums are an important step in your night time skincare routine and many are formulated to target signs of ageing. Those searching for a serum to visibly improve complexion can reach for the Crema Nera Supreme Reviving Serum. Designed to even red areas and tighten pores, this anti-ageing serum leaves the complexion smoother and softer than ever before.

Additionally, those hoping to smooth wrinkles around the eyes can try the Crema Nera Volume Reshaping Eye Serum, which nourishes and boosts skin density, restores the skin and imparts an instant lifting effect.

Step four: Indulge in an eye cream

While typically richer than face creams, eye creams are formulated with ingredients which target signs of ageing like fine lines and dullness, plumping the thinner under eye skin. The Crema Nera Light-Reviving Eye Cream has been formulated to illuminate and revive the skin underneath the eyes. This is an expert anti-ageing eye cream, to be applied to the sensitive under eye area. To further elevate your night time skincare routine, try layering one drop of the eye serum with a pearl sized amount of the eye cream.

Step five: Finish with a moisturiser

Moisturiser is the final step to any night time skincare routine, as it maintains skin hydration and supports skin overnight while the body rests. For a lightweight formula that is suitable for sensitive skin, try the Crema Nera Supreme Reviving Light Cream. Designed to provide 24-hour moisture, the skin’s appearance will look refreshed and radiant, day after day. Alternatively, the Crema Nera Supreme Reviving Cream targets wrinkles and is enriched with Mediterranean caper extract to instantly soften, illuminate and hydrate the skin for an overall youthful-looking complexion.
