In our daily life, many people like to use haba beauty oil. Haba beauty oil has always been very popular and is deeply welcomed and loved by everyone. So, can haba squalane beauty oil be used during the day?

Can Haba Squalane Beauty Oil be used during the day?

Haba squalane beauty oil can be used during the day. Haba Squalane Pure Beauty Oil is a natural choice for both day and night use. Even the Haba Squalane Whitening Beauty Oil (in the yellow bottle) which contains added whitening ingredients such as VC can be used during the day, as long as you do enough sun protection.

Does Haba whitening butter need to be kept away from light?

It is recommended to store the haba beauty oil whitening away from light, because haba beauty oil whitening contains vitamin C, which is a whitening ingredient. If it is placed in the sun for a long time, it will easily cause oxidation and lose its original effect. Therefore, it is recommended that if you purchase haba beauty oil whitening, it is best to store it away from light. In addition, it is best to use it at night. If you use this beauty oil during the day, you must do enough sun protection.

Does using VC during the day make your skin darker?

Won't. The skin will produce free radicals under the influence of external factors, which accelerate skin aging and are one of the major causes of dull skin tone. Vitamin C can play a strong role in resisting free radicals and can restore skin melanin. The effect is very powerful, but the shortcoming is also very obvious, that is, it is too unstable. Once exposed to ultraviolet rays, it will quickly oxidize and decompose. Some products can maintain the activity of vitamin C, but after oxidation and decomposition, it does not produce substances that damage the skin. It just becomes ineffective and your skin will not get darker with use. If you use strict sun protection during the day, you can just use vitamin C. High-concentration vitamin C combined with sunscreen can also improve sun protection capabilities. Similar to vitamin C, ingredients that easily become ineffective in the sun include kojic acid, ferulic acid, and various polyphenols. Be sure to pay attention to sun protection when using them during the day.

Ingredients that are prohibited during the day

1. Acid ingredients: Acidic ingredients (salicylic acid, fruit acid, mandelic acid) often appear in anti-acne, anti-inflammatory, and exfoliating skin care products. Although these ingredients are not afraid of light and have no photosensitivity or phototoxicity, they all have the effect of exfoliating dead skin cells. If used during the day, the skin's ability to resist ultraviolet rays will be weakened, making it more prone to tanning and sunburn.

2. Vitamin A and its derivatives: This anti-wrinkle, anti-acne, and anti-aging ingredient has excellent effects, but its temperability is very poor: it is unstable in nature and is also photosensitivity and phototoxic. Therefore, whether storing vitamin A products or using them daily, you must strictly avoid ultraviolet radiation. By the way, the ultraviolet rays produced by mobile phones and desk lamps are negligible compared to those during the day, so there is no need to deliberately avoid the light produced by traditional electronic products~

3. Citrus essential oils: There are many people with dry skin who use essential oils to protect their skin every day, such as some products that can have anti-inflammatory and soothing effects, unclog pores, and remove acne. Citrus essential oil products generally contain photosensitive ingredients such as "furanocoumarins", which can produce phototoxic reactions when used during the day. Therefore, for safety reasons, it is recommended that you use this essential oil at night.

4. Some medicinal ingredients: In addition to skin care products, some oral medications also have photosensitivity and phototoxicity! Light irradiation causes changes in its chemical properties, leading to a series of side effects. When using medicines containing this ingredient, be sure to avoid sun exposure! Common whitening ingredients will become ineffective under ultraviolet light, but niacinamide is an exception. Its performance is more stable and it has no photosensitivity or phototoxicity. Niacinamide is a good helper for whitening, brightening skin tone and anti-inflammation. But it is also recommended to use sunscreen during the day, otherwise you will only get a little whiter, and then you will be burned by the sun and tanned by ultraviolet rays!

Daytime skin care tips

The top priorities for protecting your skin during the day are moisturizing, sunscreen (sunscreen is needed all year round), and antioxidants. As for whitening, anti-aging and repair, it is best to do them at night. When choosing skin care products, choose those containing ingredients such as antioxidants, vitamins, and niacinamide. It can not only remove free radicals in the skin and delay aging, but also prevent melanin deposition.
