When it comes to skincare routines, most people usually follow the same routine regardless of the hour of the day. However, it is important to be mindful of your skin’s needs. Your skin’s needs differ from day to night. During the day, your Skin needs protection while at night it needs replenishment.In the daytime, your skin needs shielding from the elements such as dust, dirt,  pollution, and sun damage. So, it’s best to use a day Cream that offers protection from the harmful UV rays of the sun and has antioxidant-rich ingredients that can neutralize the free radicals causing skin damage.At night, your skin undertakes the work of repairing and regenerating itself and is more receptive to face care products. Hence a night cream that penetrates deeply into your skin, moisturizes it, and prevents and reverts signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of skin elasticity, is necessary.

Different needs, need different solutions! This is why your skincare regime should have both face cream: day cream and night cream to protect, repair, and replenish your skin adequately.

What Are Day Creams?

While most people use a moisturizer and sun protection as a part of their skincare routine, you can get these benefits and many more in one single face care product, which is a good day cream. During the day, your skin is exposed to a number of elements such as pollution, dust, and harmful UV rays from the sun. Your skin needs protection from these elements as they can create free radicals that cause signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of skin elasticity.

At night, when you go to sleep, your skin cells undertake the work of repairing and regenerating and are more receptive to moisturizing ingredients. Using a natural night cream before going to bed can help replenish your skin with moisture and tackle the damage caused by exposure to pollution, dust, and the sun’s UV rays in the daytime. A night cream with ingredients rich in antioxidants will also help repair and restore your skin, even out the skin tone, rejuvenate the skin and reduce the appearance of early signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles. 

Typically, anti-aging creams are used as night creams because they are usually made with Retinol – a powerhouse ingredient that is known to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, restore skin firmness and improve skin texture. However, Retinol is not recommended to be used in the daytime as it makes the skin sensitive to UV light, and may cause redness, flakiness, and sensitivity. Bakuchiol, a natural alternative to retinol, is the safest and most effective ingredient to look for in a night cream as well as a day cream as bakuchiol is not sensitive to UV rays.

The Moms Co. recommends the best night cream packed with ingredients that replenish the skin by deep moisturization and a  concentrated formula for reversing anti-ageing.

Natural Age Control Night Cream

This night cream has Bakuchiol, along with Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid, and Natural Vitamin E that help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles even skin tone, and restore firmness for healthier, glowing skin. The Moms Co. night cream is also enriched with Sea Buckthorn Oil and Chia Seed Oil which improve blood circulation and provide the skin with essential nutrients.

Can I Use Night Cream During The Day And Vice Versa?You should not use a night cream during the day and vice versa. Using a night cream during the daytime, and day cream at night time may not cause much damage, but will not benefit the skin with their special formulation. The day and night cream will not perform their primary functions when used at non-recommended timings, being useless.

Using a night cream in day time can make skin vulnerable to sun and environmental damage, as there are no protective ingredients in it. Also, it gives a heavy feel with a greasy look during the day, which is usually undesirable to feel fresh throughout the day. A night cream is unfit for the makeup application to stick well on the skin.

When a day cream is applied at night it fails to provide the needed nourishment, hydration, and anti-aging effects the skin needs during its repair phase, the night.

Sometimes the skin may get confused due to the reversing of ingredients which can hamper the skin’s natural processes. So understanding the benefits of the day cream and night cream, and their difference is important.

Day Cream vs Night Cream

Read on to know more about how day cream and night cream are different from each other, why you should include both in your skincare routine:

Why do we have to use both?

The skin needs perfect hydration, moisturization, and nourishment at a given temperature, climatic conditions, and active-inactive hours. Day creams and night creams benefit in providing perfect ingredients at the perfect time. 

Providing the skin with all the necessary nutrients at a given time of the day between AM to PM and vice-versa helps maintain healthy, blemish-free, glowing skin. Use day cream and night cream both thoughtfully to replenish your skin with essential vitamins and antioxidants. Both the day cream and night cream are to be used daily. Choosing an all-natural skincare product is very important to avoid damage from harmful chemicals.

Step 1: Cleansing

Clean your face before applying any face care products. Using a completely natural face wash will be best suited to use daily.

Step 2: Face serum

If you have skin issues like acne, wrinkles, pigmentations, and dullness, apply all-natural face serum to treat them.

Step 3: Day cream during daytime and night cream at night time

Apply a day cream during the sunny hours and when your skin is under exposure to harsh weather and pollution. Use night cream before going to bed. Remember to remove all the makeup, cleanse your face, and only then apply a night cream for great results. Massage the day cream and night cream in an upward circular motion.

If you use any other treatment products like under-eye creams for dark circles and puffy eyes, apply them after the serum and before the day and night creams.
