So you’ve cleansed your face, your wearing your favorite pajamas, and hear your bed calling your name. Well, before you sprint over to the bedroom to begin dreaming about your next makeup haul, be sure to slather some nighttime cream to help moisturize your face and keep the wrinkles at bay. Some creams I find exceptionally great to incorporate in your nighttime beauty routine include the following.
- CeraVe: This is my go-to cream not only because of the price (YES its only $13.99!!), but because it works wonders, is noncomedogenic and also fragrance free! Now for those of you who have suffered from acne most of your life, like myself, finding a cream that is noncomedogenic is absolutely crucial. That’s because nighttime creams have a thicker consistency, which may aggravate sensitive skin and lead to breakouts. I’ve tried plenty of moisturizing lotions in my 35+ years, but the the CeraVe has been the best for my skin type.
- Chanel Le Lift Creme: If your pocketbook doesn’t mind taking a beating, then the line of Chanel’s Le Lift Creme might be perfect for you. Now I’ve never “bitten the bullet” to buy this cream because at a whopping $165 its certainly not cheap. Alright…maybe its not as expensive as the highly coveted Creme de la Mer ($310 for 2 oz….ouch!), the Chanel Le Lift certainly gives it a run for its money. Lucky for me I always get plenty of samples with a Chanel beauty purchase, but I know the day will come when my endless supply of samples will run-out. And when that days comes, I won’t think twice about purchasing it because it really does diminish fine lines. NOTE: I only use this cream to spot treat areas such as laugh lines and deep wrinkles.
- Bobbi Brown Hydrating Eye Cream ($58): I love this cream because it is light, hydrating, and highly effective. While it won’t eradicate all under eye wrinkles, it will smooth and reduce their appearance.
