Day vs. Night creams: should you use both?

Some days you wake up fresh and energized and some days you drag yourself to the shower and stress about what the rest of the day has planned for you. Your skin reacts and shows the way you are feeling. Sometimes you are glowing with a fresh look on your face, and other your skin feels tired, dull, and heavy. In a good or bad day, your skin definitely needs some love. Specialists from Neora put together a list of benefits of using a day and a night cream in your skincare routine.

What are night and day creams?

UV rays, pollution, dust, or other impurities are damaging to our skin the moment we get out. Since walking around with a plastic bag over the head might not be the best option, there is a much elegant solution to shield your skin from the environmental stressors. A day cream is a cosmetic product designed to moisturize and protect your skin during the active hours. Choose a light, non-oily formula that not only shields your skin from outside stressors but also fights the causes of premature aging bringing back that youthful, healthy look we all love. The antioxidants are highly important in a day cream since they inhibit the free radical damage and boost the natural renewal of cells. 
When you sleep, the body recharges and renews. The same thing happens to your skin. Most of its' natural processes of regenerating, restoring and repairing happen as we sleep. Therefore, night creams are formula-designed to be slowly absorbed in your skin and focused on recovery. They are the heavy lifting products that penetrate deeper into your skin. Try Age IQ® Night Cream which has the highest concentration of anti-aging substances to help you reveal healthy and youthful-looking skin.  

Why do you need both products? 

There is a big difference between night and day creams in purpose, texture, and ingredients. The day creams contain SPF to protect your skin from UV rays, and they are lightweight so that you can apply makeup without feeling heavy and oily. Night time creams absorb slowly into your skin and may contain retinoids and glycolic acid, which make your skin sensitive to the sun.
It might not be a calamity if you use the night cream in the morning, but you may not get the expected results. Night creams have two primary purposes: anti-aging and deep moisture. Therefore, they need to be used during a non-active time to obtain the fastest outcomes. They are denser in texture and absorb slowly so that the skin gets all the benefits of the product. They don't have UV protection, and some ingredients may cause extra sensitivity to the sun, so it is best to use them during the night.
The day cream comes as a shield against stressors. It completes the night cream action and shields the skin from UV or other damaging factors. It increases the efficiency of the night cream since you will be applying on an already shielded and moisturized face. In the end, you will get the best of both worlds and end up with a healthy-looking face.
No matter what you want to choose, make sure the products you use do not cause more damage and that they are right for your skin type. If you are happy with one product, try a combo day and night cream to save money on your budget and energy while getting the best results. Change the routine at any sign of irritation and go for softer but more efficient products. No matter what you wish to choose, listen to your skin and to its changing needs.
