The process of making night cream

As people adore the favorite, glowy, glass-like skin of celebrities, they forget the list of skincare products in stores containing creams full of man-made, harsh chemicals. The recipes given above will offer homemade night creams, which will, in return, give you a natural glow. 

These easy-to-follow recipes include ingredients selected specifically for their effectiveness and skin-friendly properties. If you have fine lines, wrinkles, dehydration, or simply tired skin, there is a recipe waiting to be discovered. Naturals will turn your dull complexion into clear and glowing skin. 

What exactly is a homemade night cream?

To shed more light, a nourishing moisturizer is a skincare product crafted with all of the ingredients a user would want to promote skin health. Unlike commercial creams that use many complex preservatives and chemicals, homemade creams aim to greatly replenish the skin’s reserve of moisture.

According to Dr. DM Mahajan, a dermatologist, plant extracts, butters, and oils are very effective. They can also remedy a wide range of skin conditions, including aging skin, dryness, and dry skin.

The 6 Best DIY Night Cream Recipes  

Here are some straightforward and easy methods for making your own night creams that will give you a natural glow. 

1. Aloe Vera Night Cream  

It is well known that aloe vera assists in treating and getting rid of skin problems like pimples and acne. A study published by Frontiers Journal also mentions its anti-aging and moisturizing effects. Aloe’s amino acids aid in the softening of tough skin cell elastin, improving the overall texture of the skin. According to published research by BMC, lavender oil aids in the production of collagen, and primrose oil helps with the hydration, elasticity, firmness, smoothness, and overall appearance of the skin. 

Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons of Aloe Vera Extract  
  • 1 teaspoon Lavender oil  
  • 1 teaspoon Primrose oil  

Method

  • Mix lavender oil with fresh aloe vera gel extracted from the plant. 
  • Then add and mix 1 teaspoon of primrose oil.
  • Apply to the skin while the jar is in the refrigerator. 
  • Always use a jar to store the cream and apply it regularly. 

2. Green Tea Night Cream  

As cited in a publication of Anti-inflammatory and Anti-allergy Agents Medical, green tea with mitotic antioxidants and anti-inflammatory factors shields skin from harmful UV rays and mitigates photoaging. 

Aloe vera helps in skin nutrition as well as the aging problem. 

Ingredients: 

  • 1 teaspoon of green tea extract
  • 1 tablespoon of sweet almond oil 
  • 1 tablespoon of rosewater 
  • 1 teaspoon of essential oil (jojoba, lavender) 
  • 1 tablespoon of aloe vera gel 
  • 1 tablespoon of beeswax  

Method: 

1. Heat the beeswax and almond oil in a double boiler until it boils. 

2. Combine all ingredients until they are fully melted. 

3. Take the mixture off the stove and add the aloe vera. 

4. In a separate bowl, combine the green tea extract, essential oil, and rosewater, and mix well. 

5. Skim the mix and put it in a jar. 

3. Ghee and Honey Night Cream. 

Ghee is rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, which help nourish and hydrate the skin surface.

In the article from Cureus, it has been noted that ghee helps maintain skin elasticity and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while honey keeps the skin hydrated and smooth. 

Ingredients: 

– 1 Tbsp of ghee

– 1 Tbsp of raw honey

Method

1. Melt ghee using a double boiler or microwave it on low in short intervals.

2. Add honey to a clean jar and pour the melted ghee into it.

3. Stir until the mixture is smooth and silky.

4. Apply to the face and neck before sleep. 

4. Avocado Night Cream

The Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology states that avocados have superfood qualities. They are rich in vitamins, resulting in deep hydration and nourishment of the skin and protection from pesky free radicals. When paired with almond oil, the perks of avocado are magnified. Almond oil easily gets absorbed into the skin, making it softer and improving wrinkled skin (Wiley). This makes it a great anti-ageing cream.

Ingredients:

– 1 tbsp almond oil

– 1 ripe avocado

– 1 tsp shea butter 

Instructions:

1. Dice the avocado and blend until the mixture is smooth.

– Put the shea butter in the double boiler or microwave (for short intervals) and whip it until smooth.  

– Avocado, almond oil, and shea butter can be mixed in a clean jar, and then lavender can be added. 

– Spread on your face before you sleep. 

5. Milk night cream  

In addition to soothing the skin, milk cream also hydrates and exfoliates it.  

Because of the lactic acid present, this also aids in the removal of ultra-fine lines while tightening the face skin (Molecules Journal).  

While rose water has been proven to tone the skin, glycerin helps retain moisture, and olive oil further hydrates it.  

Ingredients

– One tablespoon of milk cream  

– One teaspoon of rose water  

– One teaspoon of olive oil  

– One teaspoon of glycerin  

Method:

– Mix all ingredients and make sure there are no lumps in the mixture. 

– After whipping, the cream is placed in a jar and can be applied to a cleaned neck and face. 

6. Olive oil night cream  

This cream is made using olives, using DIY principles, as a night cream base. It effectively keeps skin hydrated for longer.

In the meantime, the other ingredient is coconut oil, which provides skin-penetrating, diuretic hydration. 

Ingredients   

– 125ml of extra virgin olive oil. 

– Two tablespoons of distilled coconut oil. 

– One tablespoon of beeswax. 

Method:

Olive oil, coconut oil, and beeswax must all be combined and placed in a saucepan on low heat. 

Stir the components until they are all in liquid form.

After the cream cools, you need to place it in a jar and let it cool in the fridge for a month.  

Caution: Always do a patch test before applying any DIY night cream to avoid skin irritation. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. 

Before incorporating any recipe for DIY night cream into your regimen, consult a medical professional.
