We often see numerous day and night moisturisers when we visit the store. Despite that, many of us may not truly know the differences between the two and why we need both.
If you’re aiming for perfect skin, you should consider making your skincare regime more comprehensive. Before that, you need to understand that skin behaves differently in the morning and at night. Additionally, your skin is most likely exposed to various environmental factors during the day. Hence, knowing what the right products for your skin are is essential to achieving your goal. Your daytime skincare routine should be all about preservation and protection from harmful UV rays, dirt, and pollution, while your night-time skincare routine should focus on restoration, treatment, and supplying your skin with the right nutrients.
Daytime Moisturiser
The skin on our face is more fragile than the rest of the skin on our body. As such, if our skin is unprotected from UV rays, dirt, and pollution, it may speed up the ageing process. Your skin could dry up, lose its elasticity and natural radiance, and your skin barrier might even be damaged.
What your skin needs are protection and hydration. A good daytime moisturiser can rebalance the water ratio in your skin to prevent excessive water loss and further damage to the skin barrier.
On top of that, most daytime moisturisers have SPF to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. They should also have formulas for specific benefits such as fine line and wrinkle reduction, radiance-boosting, hydration, dark spot correction, skin-soothing (for sensitive skin), just to name a few.
One more thing to know about daytime moisturisers is that they have a lighter texture and as such can be absorbed more easily into the skin.
Night-Time Moisturiser
At night, your skin becomes more active, switching to repair mode to fix any damage caused during the day and regenerate itself.
By choosing a night-time moisturiser that’s right for your skin type and concerns, you can speed up the repair and restoration process.
Night-time moisturisers are thicker and more potent than daytime moisturisers, and are usually packed with powerful active ingredients that encourage the skin to repair itself from the inside out, while you sleep. Other than repairing, different night-time moisturisers also come with benefits like wrinkle and fine line reduction, lifting and firming, plumping, cell regeneration, collagen and elastin production boosting, dark spot correction, and skin barrier rebuilding.
Do I Really Need Both Daytime And Night-Time Moisturisers?
Yes. Both are essential for a comprehensive skincare regime that can deliver the results you need. Daytime moisturisers have SPF to protect your skin from UV rays, while night-time moisturisers have a thicker texture that is more effective in keeping your skin hydrated through the night.
How Do I Choose The Right One For Me?
1) Oily Skin
If you have oily skin, it means your skin produces excessive sebum throughout the day, tends to look shiny, and has visible pores . You will need more hydration, so opt for a light, hydrating moisturiser with ingredients that rebalance your sebum production.
Day:
- Nutox Moisture Emulsion SPF25 PA++
- Nutox Renewing Treatment Crème
Night:
- Nutox Night Repair
- Nutox Renewing Treatment Sleeping Mask
2) Combination Skin
Your T-zone tends to be oily, while the rest of your skin ranges from normal to dry. The best pick for you is a daytime moisturiser with healthy ingredients that is hydrating yet mattifying, so you can balance the oily T-zone. For your night-time moisturiser, opt for a formula that keeps your skin supple without leaving a sticky sensation, so you can have a good night’s sleep.
Moisturisers For Combination Skin:
Day:
- Nutox Moisture Emulsion SPF25 PA++
- Nutox Renewing Treatment Crème
Night:
- Nutox Night Repair
- Nutox Renewing Treatment Sleeping Mask
3) Dry Skin
Dry skin tends to produce less sebum than normal. You may lack moisture and hydration as a result, so opt for a daytime moisturiser with active ingredients that stimulates sebum production and deeply hydrates your skin. Having dry skin makes it even more essential for you to have a night-time moisturiser, as it provides extra moisture, soothes dryness, calms redness, and boosts the healing and rebuilding of skin cells overnight.
Day:
- Nutox Anti-Ageing Cream (add on Nutox Solar Protect SPF45 PA++)
- Nutox Renewing Treatment Crème
Night:
- Nutox Night Repair
- Nutox Renewing Treatment Sleeping Mask
4) Sensitive Skin
When you have sensitive skin, it’s important to choose a gentle moisturiser that contains no additives and is free from paraben, mineral oil, colourant, alcohol, and fragrance. Better yet, opt for one that is dermatologically tested and specially formulated for sensitive skin.
