Day vs Night Cream: The Ultimate Guide to 24h Skin Hydration

on Jul 30 2024
Have you ever wondered if you're giving your skin the care it deserves? You're not alone! Let's dive into the world of day and night creams, and discover how to keep your skin glowing from morning to night.   The Moisturizer Myth Debunked If you think you can skip moisturizer because you have oily skin, you're not alone! Even so, that's not the case - even oily skin needs hydration! Oily skin is often dehydrated skin in disguise, and trans-epidermal water loss affects everyone - so, proper hydration is essential to keep skin feeling and looking supple and youthful.   Day Cream: Your Skin's Daily Defender Your day cream is your skin's first line of defense. Here's what to look for: Lightweight texture for comfortable wear Pollution-fighting ingredients (like our Really Radiant Moisturiser with plant-based microalgae) Quick absorption for easy makeup application    Night Cream: The Overnight Skin Savior While you're sleeping, your skin is busy repairing and rejuvenating itself. Skin regeneration can be up to three times faster at night! Here's how to maximize this: Choose a richer texture for deep nourishment Look for collagen-boosting ingredients (like the marine extracts in our Bright Night Intensive Cream) Apply to both face and neck    Day & Night Cream Duo So, although both day and night creams have goal to hydrate your skin, they can't be used interchangeably as they target your skin differently. A day cream will nourish your skin while keeping it protected against daily pollution, and a night cream will deeply hydrate you skin while addressing skin concerns.   Your skin deserves round-the-clock care, and now you know how to provide it! By understanding the unique benefits of day and night creams, you're well on your way to achieving that coveted healthy glow. Remember, skincare is a journey, not a destination.
