At first glance, the day and night creams differ only in the inscription on the packaging.
In fact, these products are far from the same, and you can achieve tangible benefits from using skin care products only if you use them according to the rules.
Night and day cream: the difference
To understand what unique characteristics a particular type of cream has, it is worth considering how dark and light time of day differ.
The answer is obvious: day and night there are different levels of illumination and intensity of UV radiation, and different levels of activity in humans themselves.
Along with the daily cycle, the needs of the skin also change.
During the day, the skin needs intensive protection from UV rays and increased hydration, while at sunset it needs nourishment.
The above determines the differences in the composition and texture of each type of cream.
So, a care product labeled “daytime” is lighter and more liquid, with a high level of SPF protection, while a night cream is thicker and more saturated, without SPF.
This is why incorrect use of care products makes them inconvenient to use and ineffective.
