How to Choose the Best Night Moisturizer<\/h2>\n

Night creams are typically heavier than day creams because our skin naturally loses water while we sleep. Additionally, suboptimal conditions (like a dry home, an overheated room, a poor diet, and not drinking enough water) and your skin will feel dry, dehydrated, and tight, resulting in looking tired and run down \u2014\u00a0even after a good night\u2019s sleep.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Depending on your lifestyle, the current climate, or your travel and sleep habits, it can be helpful to up the ante by replacing a night cream with an invisible no-rinse night mask \u2014 even once or twice a week, depending on the current state of your skin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Texture and Your Skin Type<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

A thicker cream can help seal in moisture along with the active ingredients. Even so, you should still choose a formula appropriate for your skin type \u2014\u00a0here\u2019s a general guide.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
