FAQs
What is the difference between day cream and night cream?
Day and night creams serve different purposes for your skin:
- Day cream: Lightweight and often includes SPF to protect against UV rays and pollution. It hydrates without feeling heavy and may contain antioxidants like vitamin C.
- Night cream: Richer and does not contain SPF. It includes nourishing ingredients like retinol, peptides, and oils that deeply hydrate and repair the skin overnight.
What is the purpose of a day cream?
Day cream is the cornerstone of a morning skincare routine, designed to protect and hydrate the skin throughout the day. It often includes SPF filters to guard against UV rays, the primary cause of premature aging. Many day creams contain antioxidants like vitamin C or E to combat free radicals and shield the skin from pollution. Additionally, they include hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid to lock in moisture and keep the skin soft and supple.
What are the benefits of eye cream?
The skin around the eyes is thinner and more delicate than the rest of the face, making it more prone to fine lines, puffiness, and dark circles. Eye creams contain ingredients like caffeine to reduce puffiness and peptides to boost collagen production. Additionally, some include phospholipids or vitamin K to minimize dark circles. Proper use of eye cream helps maintain elasticity and protects the area from premature aging.
