Choosing the Right Cream
The seasons have different effects on your skin. Your skin type also dictates the kind of cream that you need to use. Unfortunately, weeding through the countless number of night creams is a gargantuan task that might make you give up in a heartbeat. To help the process go faster, you should be looking for specific ingredients that are present in skincare products once you have identified your skin types.
Humectants for Dry Skin
Skin in extreme weather will not fare well given environmental factors such as indoor heating, dry air, heat, wind and the cold. Products that contain humectants will work for you because they seal in moisture. Glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and shea butter are some of the ingredients that you should look for. You will even find even these ingredients in your favorite foundation which are responsible for giving your skin a moisturized and even appearance. Other ingredients that work wonders for dry skin include lanolin oil, tremella extract, AHA, and sodium PCA. Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA) are used in improving skin condition, cleansing pores and smoothing facial lines.
Peptides and Vitamin C
All types of skin benefit from peptides which are known to boost collagen production. Collagen improves the elasticity of the skin contributing to a firmer epidermis. Include products that contain peptides to improve the appearance of your skin. Vitamin C is another important component that is useful in the production of collagen. A night cream that contains vitamin C helps in treating skin pigmentation and prevents changes in premature aging.
