Q

I need a new night cream, how do I know which one would be best for my skin type? Denise, Newport

A

While we sleep, our skin cells renew quicker, making it an ideal time to incorporate some clever skincare. Overnight treatments also have enough time to sink in without being disrupted by the environment or extra products, so, really, night creams are one of the key ways to treat any skin concerns.

A brilliant all-rounder is

E.l.f. Nourishing Night Cream, £12, which uses jojoba and shea butter to deeply nourish, overhauling dryness after just one use. If you’re looking for a wrinkle-buster on the other hand, look for options including retinol – it’s the best ingredient out there when it comes to antiageing. Try Indeed Labs Retinol Reface, £16.99 – however, retinol can cause irritation so be careful not to don’t overdo it. Use once a week to begin with, then every two or three days. For dehydrated complexions, give Essence Hello, Good Stuff! Sleeping Mask, £4, Wilko a try – it’s a cooling gel formula that really quenches parched skin.
