Day Face Creams & Moisturizers

A day cream is a type of moisturizer designed to be applied in the morning to provide all day-long hydration, protection from indoor and outdoor pollutants, and often, sun protection with SPF to shield the skin from UV damage.

Picking a day cream with SPF helps to mitigate the effect of harmful UVA/UVB rays on your skin, reducing the risk of sun damage. Select moisturizer formulations provide both hydration and sun protection in one step, making for a simpler skincare routine. The SPF helps slow common signs of aging associated with long-term sun exposure, like the appearance of age spots, wrinkles, and fine lines.

As skin ages, it tends to become more dehydrated over time. Day creams help to ensure that mature skin has all-day long hydration from the moment you wake up. The best day cream products have skincare ingredients like White horehound and Furcellaria that protect from both indoor and outdoor environmental stressors your skin is often exposed to throughout the day.

Beauty Tip: You should also choose an anti-aging night cream to help your skin repair itself overnight as it replenishes itself.
