Why You Should Be Using a Night Cream

One of our most popular face creams is our Harakeke Seed Oil Night Cream. But why should we be using a night cream, and what makes it different from a day cream?

What Is a Night Cream?

Night creams are specialised skincare products designed to be used in the evening as part of your nightly skincare routine. They are typically thicker and richer in texture than day creams.

Night creams are formulated to provide deeper hydration, nourishment and repair while you sleep, when the skin is naturally more receptive to renewal.

The Benefits of Using a Night Cream

There are two key benefits to using a night cream.

• Deep hydration – Night creams help replenish and retain moisture, preventing dryness and dehydration.
• Skin repair and regeneration – While you sleep, your skin enters a natural repair cycle. Night creams support this process by delivering nutrients and active ingredients that promote cellular repair and rejuvenation.

Why Harakeke Seed Oil?

Our Harakeke Seed Oil Night Cream is thick, raw and deeply nourishing.

Harakeke seed oil contains a high level of linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid that is incredibly hydrating and supportive of the skin barrier. It is also rich in omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids, which promote cell regeneration and restoration.

With the added benefits of anti-inflammatory kawakawa oil, this night cream soothes irritated skin while delivering long-lasting moisture.

How to Use Our Night Cream

For best results, we recommend following a simple evening routine:

1. Cleanse your skin using our Kūmarahou & Mānuka Honey Cleanser
2. Apply our Mānuka Water & Kawakawa Toner to prepare the skin
3. Apply a small amount of the Harakeke Seed Oil Night Cream to clean, dry skin
4. Gently massage using circular motions until absorbed

This layering ensures the cream penetrates effectively and supports overnight skin repair.
