Introduction
Facial care routines often involve the use of specific products for day and night, each designed with formulas that address the skin's distinct needs at these different times. Using the same cream in the morning and evening may seem convenient, but it wouldn't be as beneficial to the health and effectiveness of your skincare regime.
Differences between the skin's needs during the day and at night
Daytime : Protecting against harmful elements
During the day, skin faces environmental challenges such as UV rays, pollution and extreme temperatures. Day creams are infused with SPF and antioxidants to protect skin from these dangers, while keeping it hydrated without being too rich so as not to clog pores during active hours.
At night: Supporting recovery and renewal
At night, your skin enters a state of accelerated repair and renewal. Night-time formulas are therefore centered around nourishment, repairing daytime damage and providing intense hydration, with ingredients like hyaluronic acids and peptides, encouraging cell renewal while you sleep.
Why it's crucial to use specific day and night creams
Adaptation to biological functions
Night and day creams respond to the skin's chronobiology, which changes according to the time of day. The effectiveness of active ingredients can vary according to the skin's natural cycles, so using the right product at the right time maximizes the positive effects on skin health.
Maximizing the benefits of each product type
Optimizing the absorption of active ingredients is also a consideration not to be overlooked. The ingredients in day creams are designed to be effective under direct sunlight and when the skin is more exposed to pollutants, while those in night creams are too rich and could cause blackheads if used during the day.
