Do You Really Need a Day and Night Cream?Should we treat a.m./p.m. as gospel or ignore the terms? |
Hoping for a moisturizer that will do double duty for day and night? It's possible. "You can most certainly use the same cream for day and night, especially if it is simply to hydrate and moisturize," says Gymrek, who recommends products containing skin-loving ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, ceramides, glycerin and/or colloidal oatmeal. Wesley adds that the moisturizing cream should be non-irritating and noncomedogenic, so it doesn't clog pores, and should contain ceramides or omega fatty acids from cold-pressed seed oils.
The Arbonne SuperCalm Soothing Hydrator With Tiger Grass Blend, $44, is a lightweight lotion that promotes skin renewal and balances and protects skin's moisture barrier using glycerin and centella asiatica.
