Nu Skin ageLOC Transforming Night Cream

Night creams are a must-have in my skin care regime! Why? Simply because it is like food for my skin whilst I sleep.

I recently wrote a post on 'What is night cream?' and the main benefits of using a night cream in your skin care regime, click here to see .


Applying night cream before I sleep is like brushing my teeth before bed. It's a must-do and if I don't, I can see the difference. My skin is nourished and recharged when I do apply night cream before bed, especially if it is a good night cream!!

It's very important for me to have manageable skin when it comes to my daily life as I am constantly meeting people, and doing my modelling work therefore presentation is an important factor to me.

I have used tonnes of night creams, various brands with various promises and textures of the product but how do I know which one is the best for me? Well, if it doesn't make my skin feel tight, not too heavily scented, not too oily for my normal/dry skin, one that doesn't contain alcohol then I have more confidence in using it!


I discovered this Nu Skin night cream early on this year when I started using the Galvanic Spa back in March-April. It is from the ageLOC range which is very cleverly created by the top scientists, the entire range has been my ultimate number 1 favourite range of skin care I have ever used. I love the benefits of each product, without harming my skin, I can see why it is so exclusive, even Gemma Shephard (celebrity stylist) and Emma Forbes have saluted to it as it is their favourite skin care range.
I have been very fortunate to meet Gemma Shephard in London at an exclusive Nu Skin conference, where she talked about why she saluted to Nu Skin and the fact that she loves the ageLOC range. I felt very exclusive to have the ageLOC range in my life.

I love how this rich-formula blends into my skin smoothly and leaving no trace of grease or tightness to my skin. I am very weary of how my skin feels without half an hour of application, usually this is the amount of time I have to decide about the cream. This also gives enough time for the product to set into my skin.
I always apply my night cream at least half hour before I go to sleep. This is so my skin is fully hydrated and rejuvenated, making sure that it is doing it's job right otherwise why else would I purchase it in the first place?


Each jar contains 30ml (1fl. oz.) of product.


This product is aimed at those who are wanting to prevent wrinkles and fine lines, male and female.

I apply a thin layer of this Transforming Night Cream to my index finger (photo shows how much to use) and dot it around my face, avoiding the eye area. I then use both hands to gently massage it into my face and neck in an upward and outward motion. This lets gravity help my skin to be uplifted and the lotion sinks into the skin within 30 seconds.

Mine has lasted me for at least 3 months as a little definitely goes a long way! People seem to think that by applying a thick layer means the product would work better when you sleep? no it doesn't! Too much can do the opposite so don't be tricked into using too much product!

It's about quality not quantity, you seriously don't need to apply a huge amount of product onto your skin/face to ensure its promises are correct. You are doing more damage to your skin that letting the products benefit you in the way it promises.

Just a small amount can make the difference to how your skin/face is. When we get small samples at counters, you don't get much do you? no! and this is because a-little-goes-a-long-way, as well as it could end up being wasted. Every ones skin acts differently in differently environments, times, climates, diets, etc. Therefore it's a matter of trial and error and understanding how the skin works in different climates, seasons and changes.

I like the way the expiry date is printed on the back of this jar! 

 For me, I have different skin care regimes when the weather goes from one extreme to another. For instance, when it's warmer, spring-summer I have oily skin but can be dry in the evening time, so I use less of a toner and a more rich moisturiser for day and night, my SPF is a 35+ to protect my face from having dark spots.  Also a mud mask once a week and a face mask in between, also use my face Galvanic 1-2 times per week to deeply detox my skin and not having as much black heads on my nose.
During the colder seasons in autumn-winter, I use vitamin C based products, SPF 15 day cream, face lightening products to lighten my dark spots which have grown since the summer. I use my face Galvanic 3 times a week to fully detox the skin and prepare for spring-summer for a much healthier glow.

 I first tried the ageLOC range since I discovered the face Galvanic in January 2013. I researched about it and watched a lot of youtube videos, read testimonials and could see a huge difference in people's skin. I decided to use it and loved the results.

I then went on to research the ageLOC range and was very intrigued by the ingredients as well as the benefits. I then purchased the Transforming Night Cream. During my first use, I was very much in love with the rich formula, it doesn't just sit on the surface of the skin but it absorbs so smoothly and doesn't tighten my face or make it feel oily at all. To me, that is very important as I trust the product to do me wonders whilst I sleep and want to wake up to good skin! Who doesn't? I also tried some at the back of one hand to see the difference and I liked how smooth it felt, and the texture of my skin was different to the other. The one with the cream looked more radiant and moisturised, the next morning it looked more youthful and I knew this cream was my holy grail!

I love how this cream does not block my pores, I notice a huge difference in the colour and size of my pores when I wake up. Applying pore minimising serum doesn't always help it, I have to wait for it to dry and other products to unblock them and deeply cleanse them out, can't be that good for my skin. Luckily my face Galvanic Spa deeply cleanses them!

 Nu Skin states that this cream promises to:

•    Features mild ingredients that mimic the skin’s own structure and composition, reducing sensitivity and delivering superior benefits without disturbing the skin’s natural moisture properties.
•    Works together with the skin’s natural night-time repair and renewal processes, strengthening skin’s natural barrier for stronger, more resilient skin.

I can confirm that this has definitely done the right things for my skin. Being able to have good results makes me trust the brand so much more, which is why I have purchased ageLOC® Elements & Future Serum as I loved reading the research behind each product and understand their key ingredients.

Not only this but also:

Contains advanced anti-ageing ingredients that are

scientifically proven to:

–

Stimulate youthful cell turnover by 85% for a smoother,

softer texture you will feel.

–

Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by

45% for visibly younger looking skin.

Pro's:

• light scent of refreshing lemon-like cools my dehydrated skin. The scent isn't long lasting on the skin therefore it won't linger on your pillows.
• the rich formula sinks into the skin and provides a moisturised face without the excess oils or tightness
• a little goes a long way, this pot of 30ml cream has lasted me 3 months now, and there is at least another 3 weeks of daily use left. 
• In reality I am spending £15 minimal a month for a night cream which really works! This is a long term investment and very important to me.
• Professionally presented in a thick glass jar, presented in black and white packaging
• This exclusive cream features ageLOC® to combat the ultimate sources of ageing. - stated by Nu Skin themselves, ageLOC range works on our ageing DNA which help to prevent signs of ageing that we don't see.
• Can buy this product in 54 countries therefore it is accessible if you live i various countries or visiting other countries. 
• neatly presented in it's own box, or if you buy the ageLOC Elements kit, it comes in a presentation box. 
• sinks into my dry/normal skin and hydrates it without any redness or rash like I have experienced in the past
• skin is smoother after it is dried in my skin - this is very important to me as I don't like the feeling of sticky products sitting on the surface of my skin! Who does?

Con's: 

• jar is quite heavy but overall, the material used for the presentation is high-end
•  does contain a scent (fragrance in the ingredients list)
 

So far, this is my ultimate favourite night cream I have ever tried and I have highly recommended this to everyone who has the same skin combination as me, male or female. I love the fact that I have an excellent product on my skin and knowing it is working on my ageing DNA, I have never come across any product out there which has the scientific facts behind their products. I want to prevent myself from having wrinkles now before it gets too late!
