During colder winter months our skin needs extra special care. Luckily our nourishing Night Crème is packed with soothing, smoothing ingredients designed to repair skin overnight – perfect for rescuing chapped, dry or tight complexions. Here we share some of our star ingredients and explain why their benefits are perfect during colder months when frosty weather and central heating can wreak havoc with our skin.
Nefera Peptide
Our Nefera peptide is unique and exclusive to our range – and you’ll find it in varying quantities in each and every one of our products. It has an extra special role to play as part of our Night Crème formula – further enhancing and complementing the body’s natural ability to restore and repair as we sleep. In studies this remarkable peptide was shown to significantly accelerate skin’s own healing process – so it’s easy to imagine how this can be amplified when combined with the power of a deep sleep helping you to wake up with plump, refreshed and moisturised skin.
Amino Acids
Amino acids are essential components of healthy skin. It’s useful to think of them as building materials – with each representing key resources such as bricks and mortar. When you have the perfect mix of amino acids in ideal quantities they can form a powerful repairing cocktail for the skin. In short, they supply nutrients and proteins to help produce creatine and other substances used by the body to form connective tissue. Cell division slows down as we age – so maintaining healthy levels of amino acids in our bodies can aid skin’s natural regenerative process and keep skin smoother and suppler through slowing down this extension of the growth cycle. Once you know how they work and their unique benefits it’s easy to see why amino acids can be found in abundance in our Night Crème formula. You can also support topical treatment by eating a healthy, varied diet and incorporating foods naturally rich in amino acids – including nuts, seeds, oily fish and avocado.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E has long been hailed as a powerful antioxidant with potent restorative abilities when applied topically to the skin. It soothes and moisturises chapped skin, and injects a healthy dose of free-radical fighting molecules beneath the skin’s surface – an essential tool in the fight against wrinkles, lines and sagging. When we block or slow down free radicals present below the skin’s surface, we can combat visible signs of ageing. Vitamin E is a deeply nourishing, rich oil – so you’ll find larger quantities in our Night Crème as this allows it to sink in slowly whilst you sleep to prevent excessive moisture during the day.
Olive Oil
Versatile, packed with vitamins and anti-oxidants – olive oil isn’t just a nutritious addition to a healthy dish or tasty salad. When applied to the skin its numerous nutrients go to work just as they do in the body – blocking free radicals and boosting natural levels of antioxidants. Olive oil is also deeply moisturising, keeping parched winter skin smoother and softer for longer.
