Do You Really Need a Day and Night Cream?Should we treat a.m./p.m. as gospel or ignore the terms? |
If using the same moisturizer or cream day and night, don't forget to use sunscreen with at least SPF 30 protection, according to Lortscher. You may also want to look out for certain anti-aging actives. Gymrek reminds us that you can show your skin some extra love with ingredients such as vitamin C, peptides, growth factors, retinoids or vitamin A derivatives (remember, they will be inactivated by sunlight), defensins, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), and glycolic acids.
