What is homemade night cream?  

A homemade night cream is a skincare product crafted from natural ingredients that you prepare yourself. According to dermatologist Dr. DM Mahajan, "In comparison to commercial night creams, which may include synthetic chemicals and preservatives, homemade versions prioritize natural components such as oils, butters, and extracts." Additionally, they can address various skin concerns, including dryness, signs of ageing, and dullness.
