Ok...now here's some exciting news. I just discovered the best kept secret about anti-aging skin care: night face cream. Now before you roll your eyes and let out a disappointed sigh, let me explain.

First of all, I know how easy it is to become skeptical when you're constantly bombarded with hundreds of advertisements touting the latest "break-through" in skin care that can make you look younger. Especially, when these products tend to come up short on their promises.

That's why I want to make the case for night face creams. There is truly a secret weapon behind these products that many people aren't aware of...and that is "night."

When it comes to stopping the clock on the aging, night time can be your greatest ally. This is the time that your body uses to refresh, rebuild and rejuvenate itself...especially your skin. You can take advantage of this time to enhance and fortify this process by using the right night face cream.

All of this rebuilding takes place at the cellular level. Using night face creams that have the ability to penetrate into the cells, rather than just sit on top of the skin, can have a stimulating effect on the normal process of skin cells. Not only can you help rebuild and strengthen damaged cells, but you can stimulate growth of new cells.

Cellular rebuilding is especially more effective at night since your skin gets a break from the exposure to UV rays of the sun. You also get to take a recess from exposure to environmental toxins. You skin can take a beating from these two damaging factors.

In order to get the most out of this reconstructive opportunity, the night face cream you choose should contain ingredients that your skin cells are able to absorb and use. The synthetic chemicals, fragrances and alcohols contained in the majority of skin care products are not able to do this.

The reason you might notice some improvement after using these inferior face creams is that, like putty, they fill in your lines and wrinkles. This is a superficial cosmetic effect and not true anti-aging.

Night face creams that contain high concentrations of active, natural ingredients are the most effective at stimulating your cell's natural production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. These three substances made by your cells are directly responsible for the firmness, smoothness, softness and overall health that you're seeking when you choose to use a night face cream.

If you're interested in reading about these natural substances, I maintain an extensive list on my web site. You can also read about how these ingredients are researched, developed and tested to produce the safest, most effective skin care available.

Now that you know the secret behind effective anti-aging skin care, I invite you to take advantage of using a night face cream. The younger face you dream about while you sleep can come true.
