A homemade night cream is an effective way to get a beautiful toxin free glowing skin. During the day, you are exposed to a lot of harmful chemicals, pollution, stress, etc. Therefore, during the day, you need a cream containing sunscreen and other anti-pollutant chemicals.
There are a lot of night creams available in the market, but these night creams are high on the pocket and often fail to produce the significant effect.
The best is to make homemade night cream that is entirely natural and safe. During the night our skin needs nourishment. Therefore, night creams are mainly composed of ingredients like cocoa butter and petroleum jelly.
It is important to note that as our skin is exposed to different kind of atmosphere during the day and a different one during the night, therefore the same cream cannot solve the same purpose.
During the day, the skin needs creams that are aimed to protect the skin. During the night, the skin needs moisturization, rejuvenation, regeneration, and recovery.
Now, let’s move on to the ways by which you can prepare your own DIY homemade night cream.
