Day Cream

Day cream plays a vital role in keeping your skin moisturised and protected during the day. It works to hydrate and support your skin while defending against daily stress like weather and pollution. Most day creams are light in texture and absorb quickly, making them perfect for wearing under makeup or on their own. Many contain SPF to help guard against sun damage and ingredients that improve skin tone, smoothness, and elasticity. Use alongside a repairing night cream and your favourite facial serum for your ultimate daily skincare routine.

What does day cream do for your face?

Day cream supports your skin’s hydration and protection throughout the day. It usually has a lightweight texture that sinks in quickly and works well under makeup. Unlike night creams, which focus on repair, day creams often include ingredients like antioxidants and SPF to shield your skin from pollution, sun, and other daytime stress.

Can I use day cream at night?

While you can technically use day cream at night, it’s not ideal. Day creams are made to protect your skin from environmental stress during the day, often with added SPF. At night, your skin switches into repair mode, and you’ll get better results from a cream made to support this natural process. Night creams are usually richer and include ingredients like retinol or peptides that work best while you sleep. If your day cream is gentle and hydrating, it won’t hurt to use it overnight now and then, but it’s not the most effective choice for skin repair.

What age should you start using day cream?

You can start using day cream in your early twenties. It’s more about your skin’s needs than your age. If your skin feels dry, dull, or tight during the day, a hydrating day cream can help.
