A good night cream moisturizes and promotes skin regeneration while you sleep. We have selected the best creams for you.
During the night, the skin recovers from the stresses of the day. With the right care, you can support the skin during the nightly regeneration process so that you can wake up with a fresh complexion the next day. Rich night creams that provide the skin with sufficient moisture during sleep and prevent wrinkles are particularly suitable.
Which night cream is the best?
When choosing the 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 with oily skin. For oily skin, night creams with low comedogenic oils (e.g. argan oil, jojoba oil, grapeseed 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 during sleep, but many other factors also have an impact on the aging process and the appearance of our skin. You should therefore note 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 for the skin to regenerate. It should be good and happy for seven to nine hours a night.
- Drinking water prevents the skin from drying out and the formation of dryness lines. 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 the blood circulation and oxygen absorption of the skin is improved. This in turn has a positive influence on cell regeneration.
