    Skin renewal process gets more active at nighttime. Night creams are specially designed to benefit the most at nighttime. You should apply night cream daily to set off the damage done by the makeup, sunrays and air pollution. People with dry and very dry skin are specially advised to use night creams to provide much required moisture. You can choose night cream according to your skin.

    Using a night cream is essential to maintain the skins fresh look as well as aiding skin repair during the sleeping process. Night creams work their magic while you sleep, and you shouldn’t even think about going to bed without removing all traces of dirt and make-up and applying a good night cream.

    It depends entirely on the individual and what your hair is like to begin with. I've tried all sorts of conditioners, some very expensive, and have ended up going back to Herbal Essenses! Everyone reacts differently, so the best one is the one that works best for you. And the expensive ones aren't always better than the well known brands.

Dark circles around your eyes. How unsightly they look and even your best dress and layers of make-up sometimes does not quite succeed in concealing them!

Let’s just debunk some of the myths as well as unearth some of the facts about the causes of these ‘ panda eyes ’.   Dark circles under eyes usually are temporary and not a medical concern. You may be surprised to learn that fatigue usually isn't the cause of dark circles. Instead, the most common cause is nasal congestion.
