Do You Really Need a Day and Night Cream?Should we treat a.m./p.m. as gospel or ignore the terms? |
The short answer is: It depends. "Depending on the type of cream and ingredients, you don't necessarily have to have a separate day and night cream," says board-certified dermatologist Dr. Naissan O. Wesley. "But, there are certain ingredients like sunscreen, for example, that you don't really need at night."
More factors to consider are the other products in your skin care routine as well as your skin's needs.
