I love to sleep. It's maybe my favourite thing. My boyfriend and I bonded over a love of napping and continue to enjoy afternoons in bed sound asleep together. However, until recently I never had much time to indulge in this, my favourite pastime, thanks to ambition and love of drinking on a school night and so have tried and tested many night creams. The cracks might be there on my face but there's no way I'm letting other people see them too. And so, Neal's Yard's latest product - Beauty Sleep Concentrate - was a must-try for me. Apparently it can aid sleep, repair skin damage and cover up the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while you slumber.
My initial feeling towards this was scepticism – what makes Beauty Sleep Concentrate better than a quality night cream? Its 90 per cent organic formulation includes tri-peptide, an active ingredient which enhances collagen production so its anti-ageing claim is not an empty promise. Grapeseed oil and cocoa seed butter help keep skin moisturised overnight while the blend of clary sage, cypress, orange, patchouli and ylang ylang is a calming one.
So, I put on serum and then the Concentrate, as per the instructions. And then I go to sleep. For 12 hours. I emerge from bed with dewy fresh skin but then who doesn’t after a half a day in the land of nod? Over the course of a week, I sleep between eight and five hours each night. My slumber is sound and I wake up with clear skin. So, will this product turn all of us into sleeping beauties? That is perhaps a promise to far. Considering the results, I would conclude it does the job of an expensive night cream for much less. To wake up with skin this clear, I would generally pay about £60. Becoming a morning beauty for half that price is an absolute bargain.
