Do You Really Need a Day and Night Cream?Should we treat a.m./p.m. as gospel or ignore the terms? |
Got dry skin? A richer cream could work in the a.m. and p.m. — but remember to pair it with sunscreen during the day. Gmyrek often recommends a heavier night cream for patients with very dry skin, but it might be too greasy or thick for daytime, especially under makeup.
Oh, and for aging skin? The Organic Pharmacy founder Margo Marrone adds that as we get older the creams we use should become thicker to help battle dehydration.
