Applying night cream is a simple but important step in your skincare routine. Here's how to do it:
- Cleanse your face: Before applying any skincare products, wash your face with a gentle cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and makeup.
- Apply toner (optional): If you use a toner, apply it after cleansing.
- Apply serum (optional): If you use a serum, apply it after cleansing and toning.
- Take a pea-sized amount of night cream: This is usually enough for your entire face and neck.
- Warm the cream between your fingertips: This helps the cream absorb better into your skin.
- Apply the cream to your face and neck in upward and outward strokes. Avoid pulling or tugging on your skin.
- Gently massage the cream into your skin: This helps it penetrate better.
- Apply eye cream (optional): If you use an eye cream, apply it after your night cream.
Pro tip: Use the natural weight of your hands to distribute the product evenly over your face and neck, enhancing circulation with the Clarins' Draining Pressure Method.
Night cream is designed to nourish and hydrate your skin while you sleep, so it's best to apply it after your evening skincare routine. Avoid using it during the day, as it can make your skin look oily and greasy.
Additional tips:
- If you have oily skin, look for a night cream that is labeled "non-comedogenic." This means it won't clog your pores.
- If you have dry skin, look for a night cream that is rich in moisturizing ingredients like hyaluronic acid or shea butter.
- If you have sensitive skin, choose a night cream that is fragrance-free and hypoallergenic.
