Throughout the day our skin is exposed to many factors that can cause it damage and encourage the onset of early aging. Such things include: UVA/UVB rays from the sun, cigarette smoke, pollution, temperature changes and weather. Whilst you are cosied up and enjoying your beauty sleep you are not exposed to damaging elements so you can therefore focus your attention on nourishing and regenerating your skin rather than protecting it. When you are asleep you are not facing daily challenges that can cause stress. Levels of cortisol, aka the stress hormone, naturally fluctuate over 24 hour cycles - high in day time to keep us alert and low at night time to allow us to rest and recover. The production of cortisol can be stimulated by stress - stress that is caused when you are awake. Consistently high levels of cortisol can lead to major health issues, so getting plenty of beauty sleep is important to keeping levels balanced. Learning how to effectively reduce stress can help lower levels of cortisol which will help you get more beauty sleep so you can wake up refreshed. Algae has been used for centuries in lots of different cultures as a form of skin, hair, and beauty care. Ocean algae also provides the majority of the planet's oxygen supply.

Not only does skin identical Q10 help re-energise cells and repair them, but the added ingredient of creatinemakes it even more powerful. Creatine is an organic acid that's find naturally in the skin and acts as an energy reservoir for skin cells, and also further helps skin cells repair and regenerate. Creatine helps to to supply energy to collagen stores in the skin, which are responsible for skin firmness. These collagen stores also decline as you age leading to sagging skin and wrinkles. Research has shown that applying creatine topically to skin, such as with the Q10 Power anti aging cream range, helps to increased the production of collagen to the skin. That's why the range has been proven to give you firmer skin in just 14 days. As we age, much like many things, the natural levels of Q10found in the skin declines, leading to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles to form. That's why it's important to replenish these stores with anti aging cream that contains 100% skin identical Q10. Q10 is produced as an antioxidant to combat oxidative stress, which helps to keep your skin looking healthy. Without this antioxidant working, skin is left vulnerable to increased stress and damage, making it more susceptible to fine lines and wrinkles. The NIVEA Q10 Powerformula has been clinically proven to effectively replenish these Q10 stores in the skin and reduce signs of aging, as well as giving you firmer skin in just 14 days. That's why it's one of the most powerful anti aging cream ranges you could use. Honestly all you need to know about this is the directions. They are a little confusing I must admit. Well they were for me. Sleep masks are easy though, it is basically apply then go bed. This says “apply in the evening on freshly cleansed face, massage and relax for 5-10 minutes as the formula absorbs.” Easy right, but this is a sleep mask, so I was a little confused about the 5-10 minutes bit. Other than that, it is all about the mask, ingredients and stuff like that.

An overnight face mask is, essentially, an intense night cream that gives a boost of hydration and smoothness. Our bodies go into “repair mode” when we slumber and applying the mask before this time allows your skin to reap the maximum benefits. Many of these masks are formulated to target specific concerns such as wrinkles, dull skin, or acne. How do I apply an overnight face mask?

The third product I’m recommending to you guys today is actually an old favourite of mine – the amazing Nivea In-Shower Body Moisturiser. This is the one product that I’ve been repurchasing over and over again since it was first released, and can’t ever imagine not using as part of my shower routine nowadays. As I mentioned before, I’m quite lazy when it comes to moisturising, and hate waiting for ages for it to dry before I can get dressed. Which is why I love this stuff because you actually apply it in the shower. Eek!
