Did you know you can improve your skin's health and appearance while you're sleeping? Why rely on cosmetics to cover up damage caused by aging when you can reduce these signs and dramatically improve your skin's health at the same time? This is possible with liberal and dedicated use of the right night face creams.
Night face creams do more than just significantly reduce signs of aging. Should you find a high quality skincare product with potent, effective ingredients that are scientifically proven to help your skin, using it often will prevent aging signs from reoccurring.

The ideal night face creams also contain natural oils and emollients. Many believe skincare products with additional oily ingredients may clog their pores and feel greasy, but in reality, these ingredients nourish and soften the skin.
There are two main causes of aging that night creams can combat. One is the gradual decrease in collagen and elastin, two of your skin's most important skin proteins for firm, healthy skin. When you were younger, you had these skin proteins in abundance. Unfortunately, as we all age, our bodies make less collagen and elastin, resulting in wrinkles, age spots, sagging, puffiness, and more.
Skin damage triggered by harmful free radicals is another significant cause of aging. Free radical damage is something that happens to everyone over time, but this can be countered by powerful antioxidants that target free radicals and destroy them.
During my extensive research, I've discovered a number of natural, effective ingredients that work wonderfully. Though a few of them may sound a bit strange, I've used them daily myself for years with fantastic results.
Contrary to its name, shea butter will not leave your skin greasy. This ingredient is a wonderful moisturizer and naturally soothes inflamed skin. Better still, studies show that with prolonged use, shea butter significantly reduces scars, age spots, and blemishes.
Babassu is a natural ingredient native to the Amazon Rainforest. It is used in many high quality skin creams for its properties that make the skin deliciously soft and silky. Babassu is also valuable in that it is very good at removing dirt and grime from your pores that normal scrubs can't reach. This is especially useful in a night cream, as your pillows, sheets, and bedspreads can contain traces of dust, skin flakes, and oil.
Active Manuka honey is an antioxidant rich substance that is beneficial for fighting free radicals. Don't be fooled by its name; active Manuka honey isn't sticky or unpleasant. It absorbs quickly and easily and leaves your skin smooth and fresh.
Cynergy TK is probably the most bizarre ingredient on my list, but it works wonders for the skin. Native to New Zealand, this substance is actually extracted from sheep wool. Believe it or not, this stuff is one of the most innovative skincare ingredients on the market.
Why is it so popular?
For one thing, it's scientifically proven on human volunteers to increase levels of collagen and elastin in the body. It's also rich in keratin, a substance that is compatible to skin proteins. In addition to this, it's a potent moisturizer that significantly increases your skin's ability to retain moisture. Skin experts around the world agree that Cynergy TK is one of the most beneficial skincare ingredients known today.
Unfortunately, Cynergy TK is too new to be found in many high profile skincare products. You'll do better to do look online - there you'll discover, as I did, the many specialty skincare companies that provide these amazing products and more.
