Your Beauty Questions Answered (BQOTD): Day Creams vs. Night Creams

Today's beauty question came from a new client who came for a facial the other day. Wanna hear it? Here it goes..


Q: What is the difference between day and night creams and is it necessary to use both?

A: Day creams are generally lighter and more suitable under makeup. Most of the day creams sold today include sunscreen. Obviously, sunscreen is not necessary in a night cream. Whether you need to use a night cream is determined by your skin type. Dry or mature skin may benefit from an intensive moisturizing cream at night.

Until next time...
