Before Buying the Wrong Night Cream: Look for these Ingredients!N

By Dr. Samantha Fine

Night cream is an essential part of a woman's beauty routine, but there is a wealth of information about why you should use one but not what it should contain.

You must buy only night creams that contain the following three types of compounds. Avoid night creams that do not have the proper concentrations of (a) cellular renewal compounds that rejuvenate the skin at the epidermis' microscopic level, (b) collagen enhancers that boost skin elasticity, firmness, and smoothness; and (c) free radical fighters composed of antioxidants that reverse the aging impact of the environment and sunlight.

Ultimately you should choose a moisturizer that has as its base, a wonderful natural moisturizers. Some great creams rely on: (a) caviar (fish egg) emolients to nourish and rejuvenate the skin; (b) tea, leaf, marine, and yeast extracts to revitalize the cellular renewal processes; and (c) time release capsules containing a mixture of moisturizers that should be used overnight to continually renew and refresh the skin while you sleep.

And do not forget that price is not an indicator of quality. A good night cream will contain the ingredients listed above and will have them in the right concentration. So investigate, find right night creams and try a new product. However, be aware that you must devote at least 6-8 weeks to a new night cream in order for it to have time to work. Because wasting time with a product that just won't work, is more than just wasted time and money you aren't properly protecting your skin, you won't be turning back the clock on aging and you might be damaging your skin.

To find the right night cream you can shop around at your favorite boutiques and you might find some. I, however, recommend one source: http://www.nighttimemoisturizers.com. The site is packed with information about night creams and has links to purchase fantastic night creams at all price ranges and for all types of skin. - 15438
