We all know moisturising in the morning is essential, after all a good day cream acts as a protective barrier, locking in hydration, smoothing the skin, helping sunscreen apply more evenly, and even boosting the staying power of your makeup! But what about a night cream? Is it really essential too? Or is this extra step in your skincare routine just a clever marketing ploy? Can’t you just use your trusty day cream at night? And what even is the difference between a day cream and night cream anyway? Well, we have the answers! Keep reading as we explain how using a night cream (not just a day cream!) can make a huge difference to your skin and the night cream we can’t get enough of!
Understanding the difference between a day and night cream
When it comes to optimizing your skincare, using both a day cream and a night cream isn’t just an indulgence, it’s one of the smartest ways to care for your skin around the clock! Why? Because each cream is uniquely formulated to cater to your skin’s shifting needs throughout the day, and while you sleep!
During the day, your skin faces a barrage of environmental stressors, think UV rays, pollution, blue light damage, fluctuating temperature and oxidative stress. Day creams are your skin’s first line of defence! Their primary duties are to protect, hydrate, and reinforce the skin’s barrier, leaving it smooth and comfortable.
At Night, however, while you sleep your body enters repair mode, and your skin is no exception. Cell regeneration is at its peak overnight, making it the ideal time to deliver deep hydration, skin-repairing actives, and nutrients that restore the complexion. Night creams tend to be richer in texture and packed with higher concentrations of active ingredients to promote renewal without the interruption of external aggressors.
