Three Types Of Night Creams With Almond Oil And Aloe Vera Gel

One of the most important steps of skincare is applying nutritious night cream, that will allow the nutrients to seep back into the skin at night, while we are resting.

Seizing on this novel idea, the big cosmetic companies have produced a number of night creams, which claim to rejuvenate our skin overnight with the help of their “secret” exotic ingredients.

Since most of us have not heard of these ingredients before, we don’t really know if they are really going to work on our skin or not. Besides, these night creams also come with a hefty price tag. But what if I tell you that you can make your own night cream and that too, with purely natural ingredients. Yes, you read that right. We have put together a list of remedies that will help you create homemade night creams, which can help you treat various skin issues. Here they are:

1. For Oily Skin

To prepare a night cream suited for this particular skin type, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• A tablespoon of almond oil
• A tablespoon of aloe vera gel
• A teaspoon of yogurt

Preparation And Use

• To prepare this cream, you need fresh aloe vera gel. You can extract it by cutting an aloe leaf. Keep the extracted gel in a container.
• Now, add the rest of the ingredients to the container and mix them well to form a paste.
• Wash your face with warm water to remove the dust and grime. Also remove makeup, if you’re wearing any. This will also open up the pores on your skin.
• Now, apply the paste on your face. Take care to apply it evenly throughout. Leave it on overnight. Cover your pillow with an old used cloth so that it doesn’t get smeared with the cream, as you sleep on it.
• Rinse off the paste in the morning with normal tap water. Use this cream twice a week to get rid of oily skin.

Yogurt is a rich source of vitamin C and it is also known to absorb the excess oil from the skin. Almond oil and aloe vera help in making the skin smoother and blemish-free.

2. For Blemishes

To prepare a night cream to treat this skin issue, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• A tablespoon of almond oil
• A tablespoon of aloe vera gel
• 3–4 drops of lavender essential oil

Preparation And Use

• Take a small bowl or a cup and pour all the ingredients in it. Now, prepare a hot water bath and put this cup in it.
• Stir the ingredients in the cup till the aloe vera gel melts completely. Mix the ingredients to form a paste.
• Take the cup off the water bath, allow the paste to cool. Now, apply the paste on your face.
• Leave the paste on overnight so that it can seep into your skin and work efficiently.
• Next morning use a damp cloth to remove the dried paste from your face. Put on some moisturizer after doing that. Repeat this procedure twice a week to get rid of the blemishes on your skin.

The mixture of almond oil and aloe vera gel helps in removing the blemishes and making the skin clearer. Use this cream for a couple of weeks to get noticeable results.

3. For Depigmenting The Skin

To prepare a night cream to treat this skin issue, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• A tablespoon of almond oil
• A teaspoon of aloe vera gel
• A teaspoon of turmeric powder
• A teaspoon of lemon juice

Preparation And Use

• To prepare this cream make sure to use pure, organic aloe vera gel, inedible turmeric, and freshly squeezed lemon juice.
• Pour all the ingredients in a cup and mix them together. Now, place the cup in a hot water bath till you get a yellow paste of thick consistency.
• Following this, take out the paste off the bath and allow it to cool at room temperature.
• Once it has cooled down sufficiently, apply the paste on your face by gently massaging it with your hands in a circular motion.
• Keep it on overnight. Take care to cover your pillow with an old cloth to prevent staining.
• Next morning, wash your face with warm water and a mild cleanser to remove the paste. Use this remedy twice or thrice a week to get relief from depigmented skin.

Turmeric and lemon juice have skin whitening and skin clarification properties, therefore, continued use of this night cream can get you clear, glowing skin.

Aloe vera and almond oil are very useful ingredients when it comes to skincare, and the best part is not only are these ingredients quite inexpensive, but they are natural so they are quite gentle on the skin as well. So, try these night creams and tell us if they worked for you or not.
