Do you use a cream at night

Yup, always, I'm religious with my skincare nowadays. Use Bioderma to get make-up off at night, then slather on my home-made version of Skinceuticals CE Ferulic which is full of nutrients, then sleep on silk pillow :-)

La Roche Posay's Lipikar range is pretty good for Eczema, along with Aveeno and Oilatum. In fact, Oilatum's Natural Repair Face Moisturiser has rave reviews for calming skin down yet keeping it moisturised, ideal when anything that hits your face hurts it.

Yes, at the moment it's an Aldi one. Previously I was using a Liz Earle night cream. Don't really mind what the brand is, depends more on who's paying!

I have oily skin but it tends to feel tight as well. In the mornings I use Lush's eye cream all over my face (lighter in texture than any of their moisturisers and cheaper too). At night I now just use sweet almond oil which again works out really cheaply (I've added a little lime essential oil for frgrance). This is the only thing so far that hasn't left my oily looking in the morning. Loving it.

I've heard of this before - the silk prevents wrinkles? Does it have to be pure silk? Looking on ebay to get a couple, worth it if it keeps wrinkles at bay.

Can't say it's helping the wrinkles as I think it's more my skincare that's doing that but it's lovely and cool to sleep on and doesn't draw moisture from your face so my skin looks moist, bright and plumped in the mornings. Got mine from https://www.silkgifts.co.uk

Which cream do you use, I have eczema also.

I use No 7 Protect and Perfect Intense. I am currently wearing the night cream both day and night as my skin is so bad in this weather. I have also used Avene and Lancome Hydra Zen (I think the No7 is actually a good dupe of this and a lot cheaper). I had a massive reaction to the Hydra Zen with SPF in it though. I have not found a cheap face cream that works for me.

On my body I use any lotion for dry sensitive skin. I have used Vaseline's range and Dove before. My current favourite is the Garnier 7 Day Intensive body lotion range as it's rich, but goes in easily.

I hate all the creams for eczema. I react badly to E45 and hate oilatum. I also react to Simple for some reason.

I wash my face every night before going to bed to remove dirt and the little make-up I wear (tinted moisturizer), afterwards I need to use moisturizer otherwise the skin on my face feels really tight and unconfortable! Sometimes I use normal moisturizer (for oily skin), sometimes oils.. (Argan , coconut..). I've tried sometimes going to bed withouth anything, but I've ended up getting up to put it as the feeling was really unconfortable!

Religiously for the past few years! Cleanse and exfoliate in the shower, then tone afterwards, then apply eyelash grower (generic Latisse), eye cream, serum, then cream. And SPF 50 every morning even in the winter. Can't stress this enough!

When I was in hospital a few months ago, when I came out of theatre the nurses in recovery thought I was going back to the paediatric ward! Then they read my notes to see I was a qualified doctor of 24! They were calling the others over and saying 'guess how old this girl is'. Luckily I was lying down because my height of 5'10" and adult body obviously would have given the game away!!

I'm terrified of wrinkling so I use products designed for older skins - like L'Oreal Revitalift day cream makes a good night cream for me, and conversely L'Oreal Youth Code night cream makes a good day cream (the silicones make it a good primer).

I'm not so good at moisturising the rest of my body unless it's going to be on show, I get lazy and my movement isn't great right now after the operation. I would do it every day if I could be bothered, but I believe it's the areas which experience the greatest sun exposure which need it most - hands, neck and face.

I have eczema and at night I use epaderm ointment or hydromol ointment, either one is fine it just doesn't feel nice really but I'm asleep! Been looking at Olay recently

I should use cream on a night more often as at those times that I do remember my skin looks like it has benefitted from it.
