Applying night cream correctly involves gentle application in upward and outward circular motions, extending to the neck.
Here's a breakdown of how to effectively apply night cream for optimal results:
- Cleanse Your Face: Start with a clean canvas. Use a gentle cleanser to remove makeup, dirt, and oil.
- Tone (Optional): Apply a toner to balance your skin's pH levels.
- Apply Serums (Optional): If you use serums, apply them before your night cream so they can properly absorb into your skin.
- Take a Small Amount: Scoop a small amount of night cream onto your fingertips. A little goes a long way.
- Dot the Cream: Gently dot the cream onto your forehead, cheeks, chin, and neck.
- Massage In: Using your fingertips, gently massage the cream into your skin using small, upward and outward circular motions. This helps with absorption and circulation.
- Don't Forget Your Neck: Extend the application down to your neck, using upward strokes. This area is prone to aging, so it needs moisturizing too.
- Avoid the Eye Area (Unless Specified): Most night creams are too rich for the delicate skin around your eyes. Use a separate eye cream instead, unless your night cream is specifically formulated for the eye area.
- Allow to Absorb: Give the cream a few minutes to absorb into your skin before going to bed.
Applying night cream correctly ensures that your skin receives the maximum benefits, helping to hydrate, repair, and rejuvenate overnight.
