Modern cosmetology offers a lot of skin care products. The most popular are creams, which are usually divided into day and evening. However, not every woman thinks about their differences. As a rule, on the packaging designate common properties: moisturizing, anti-wrinkle, whitening, etc. The only difference is in the mark "day" or "night". Are there really differences between these creams? Or is it just a marketing ploy?
Daily cream
- Day cream has a light texture. It does not clog pores, enriched with essential nutrients that control the moisture balance and regulate the sebaceous glands. 60% of this type of cream consists of water.
- It is better to use them after 18 years. When the problems of transitional age had passed, the body entered a quiet hormonal rhythm.
- Day creams also contain special substances that protect against tobacco smoke and dry, frosty wind, and a UV filter. Saturated creams with vitamins A, E, C, mineral salts and biostimulants are suitable for women after 25 years. Young skin from such a vitamin cocktail can "grow lazy" and stop producing natural protective substances. And this will lead to early aging.
Evening (night) cream
- Night cream is more dense in texture. It is designed to restore the skin of the face during sleep, saturating it with micronutrients that were lost during the daytime.
- It is an aid and is used after 25 years. At this age, the skin is less prone to self-healing, which may cause the first signs of aging. Special evening cream supplements help to cope with this.
- Since the evening cream is very fat, it should be applied for a half to two hours before bedtime. The necessary part of the cream is absorbed, and the remains should be removed with a napkin.
- The use of night creams is not mandatory. They are recommended to be used only with dry skin, or in special cases when the skin needs additional nourishment (in winter, after cold).
The difference between day and evening cream is still there, but you should focus on the individual characteristics of the skin. And do not indulge in total cosmetic shopping. Recently, in the windows of cosmetic stores more and more often you can find universal face creams. They can be used regardless of skin type, age, and morning and evening. They contain special particles that quickly penetrate the skin and allow you to cope with a particular age problem.
