The best night creams: In cold, drying weather only a thick, rich moisturiser will do
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.With the myriad of oils and super serums on the market it can seem a bit old-fashioned to slather your face with night cream before bed – almost as if you should be wearing rollers in your hair and marabou mules on your feet while you do it.
But sometimes – especially in such cold, drying weather – only a thick, rich cream will do. And plenty of it for that matter – although you don't want a formula that sits on your skin leaving it feeling wet, or even worse, going to waste on your pillowcase. Apply with upward strokes and don't forget your neck and décolletage.
