Every woman deserves a night cream – at every age- that makes her feel like she is pampering herself. Beauty Sleep Concentrate definitely makes me feel that way. It was one of the first products I got when I started using Neal’s Yard Remedies, and subsequently joined as a consultant soon after. It is a fantastic “starter” night cream for someone just getting started with a nighttime regiment. But it is also a proven favorite among those who have used it for years.

The ingredients in the product are what make it stand out. They are formulated to give the best benefits to your skin. Here is a list of many of the ingredients and their uses/benefits.

Organic
Notice how many of these are organic. That means that these very concentrated ingredients are not full of harmful pesticides. Organic in skincare (especially in creams that soak in over night) are very important to me. Every ingredient that CAN be certified organic, IS certified organic. Neal’s Yard Remedies uses The Soil Association for their organic certification. If you tally up all of the quantities of all the ingredients, this product is 90% organic.

Other Product Details
The Beauty Sleep Concentrate comes in a handy pump. It takes about two pumps to cover my whole face and the bottle will last me several months. It is good for all skin types.
Whenever I apply it I first put two pumps on my fingers and then slowly breath it in. (Did you see how many of the essential oils in the ingredients list are sedatives? No wonder this is fabulous to wear while you sleep!) Then I apply over my entire face, avoiding the delicate skin around the eye. It feels like my skin is just drinking in the moisture.
