At night the skin recovers from the exertions of the day. With the right care, you can support the skin in the night-time regeneration process so that you can wake up with a fresh complexion the next day. Rich night creams are particularly suitable as they provide the skin with sufficient moisture while you sleep and prevent wrinkles.
Which night cream is the best?
When choosing care, you should always make sure that the formula contains moisturizing components such as hyaluronic acid, vegetable oils or shea butter. The cream should also be tailored to your skin type: dry skin benefits from ProVitamin B5 (panthenol) or comedogenic oils (e.g. coconut oil, avocado oil), which should be avoided for oily skin. For oily skin, night creams with low comedogenic oils (e.g. argan oil, jojoba oil, grape seed oil) and an overall lighter formulation (e.g. gel or lotion) should be used.

Tips for beautiful and well-groomed skin
A night cream can support regeneration while we sleep, but many other factors also have an influence on the aging process and the appearance of our skin. You should therefore pay attention to the following points:
- Too much UV radiation causes the skin to age prematurely. A sun protection factor in the day cream protects the skin.
- Sufficient sleep is important so that the skin can regenerate. Seven to nine hours a night should be a good idea.
- Drinking water prevents the skin from drying out and dryness wrinkles from forming. The German Society for Nutrition recommends 1.5 liters per day.
- A balanced and healthy diet also has a positive effect on the skin.
- Sport and exercise ensure that blood circulation and oxygen absorption in the skin is improved. This in turn has a positive influence on cell regeneration.
