Turns out your beauty sleep isn’t just about getting those 7 to 9 hours of snoozing – it also means having a stellar night-time skincare routine to wake up feeling and looking better than when your head hit the pillow.
So, what sets a night cream apart from your regular moisturiser you slap on in the morning?
It all comes to the ingredients. Your nightly skincare routine is the time for you to really maximise those more nourishing evening skincare products. It’s an important step that shouldn’t be forgotten, because when we sleep, our skin cells are in regeneration mode.
According to Sadaf Razi, Adore Beauty’s Senior Beauty Editor, “a good night cream can help with addressing dullness, dryness … as well as smoother skin.”
Whether your skin leans dry, oily, sensitive or somewhere in between, we’ve rounded up the best night creams on the market, including real reviews from the news.com.au checkout team.
