    Using a night cream is essential to maintain the skins fresh look as well as aiding skin repair during the sleeping process. Night creams work their magic while you sleep, and you shouldn’t even think about going to bed without removing all traces of dirt and make-up and applying a good night cream.

    It depends entirely on the individual and what your hair is like to begin with. I've tried all sorts of conditioners, some very expensive, and have ended up going back to Herbal Essenses! Everyone reacts differently, so the best one is the one that works best for you. And the expensive ones aren't always better than the well known brands.
