I believe that in life, many girls will use facial cream for skin care. Some facial creams are divided into day creams and night creams. Night creams are actually used at night. Many people are curious whether night creams can only be used at night. Can night creams be used as day creams?

Can night cream be used as day cream?

Night cream mainly focuses on repair, anti-aging, conditioning, etc., while the functions of day cream are mostly isolation, moisturizing, anti-UV, etc. Therefore, night cream cannot be used as day cream. If night cream is used as day cream, sun spots will easily appear over time. Since night cream lacks protective function, it cannot isolate the skin from external damage during the day, and its high nutrients seem redundant during the day.

What are the disadvantages of using night cream during the day?

Easy to clog pores: General night creams do not have a barrier effect, so using night cream during the day cannot resist external dust or other bacteria. These substances can easily enter the skin, and long-term accumulation will clog the pores, causing skin problems such as acne and blackheads to appear on the face. So it is best to use a corresponding day cream during the day.

Easy to make the skin darker: Some night creams contain photosensitive ingredients such as vitamin A or fruit acid, which can whiten the skin if used at night. However, after using it during the day, exposure to sunlight will cause an increase in melanin in the skin, causing the skin to darken. So it’s best not to use night cream during the day.

Easy to increase the burden on the skin: Since night cream has a better moisturizing effect, its texture is also oily. Therefore, if you use night cream during the day, the skin may not be able to absorb it well, which will increase the burden on the skin, causing overnutrition and the appearance of fat particles. So it is best to use night cream at night.
