Why it is important to use a day and night cream
Using both a day cream and a night cream is an essential step in an effective beauty skincare routine. These creams play a crucial role in protecting and nourishing the skin, each with specific functions to suit the skin’s needs at different times of the day. How exactly does this work?
Hydration and protection during the day
During the day, the skin is exposed to numerous external factors such as UV rays, pollution and temperature fluctuations. A day cream is specially designed to protect the skin from this. Many day creams contain SPF (Sun Protection Factor), which is essential to prevent sun damage such as premature aging and skin cancer. Read more about the importance of SPF. In addition, they often contain antioxidants that help neutralize free radicals, molecules that can damage the skin and contribute to aging. An example of a suitable antioxidant for use in a day cream is niacinamide. Read more about that in our blog What are the benefits of using niacinamide?
In addition, a day cream provides hydration needed to keep the skin barrier strong and resilient. Well-hydrated skin looks healthier, more radiant and feels smoother. Day creams are often lighter in texture, so they are quickly absorbed by the skin without leaving a greasy feeling, which is ideal for use under makeup.
Recovery and nutrition at night
At night, the skin comes to rest and the natural repair process begins. A night cream is formulated to support and accelerate this process. These creams often contain richer, more intense ingredients that can penetrate deep into the skin to nourish and repair. Ingredients such as retinol, hyaluronic acid, peptides and ceramides are common in night creams because of their ability to promote skin renewal, stimulate collagen production and retain moisture.
During sleep, skin blood flow is better and the skin barrier is more permeable, meaning active ingredients are better absorbed and can work more effectively. A night cream helps repair damage sustained during the day and prepares the skin for a new day. It promotes cell renewal and leaves your skin feeling fresh and rejuvenated in the morning.
A complete beauty routine
Using both a day and a night cream provides a complete skincare routine that responds to the specific needs of the skin at different times. While the day cream provides protection and hydration to protect the skin from daily aggressors, the night cream provides intensive repair and nourishment during the nighttime regeneration phase.
Combining both creams can help keep skin in optimal condition, reduce signs of aging and maintain a radiant, healthy complexion.
