The Difference Between Day and Night
Finding the best eye cream is at the top of almost everyone’s to-do list. We all want an all-in-one, multi-tasking miracle product that will cure our dark circles, fine lines, wrinkles, crow’s feet, bags and signs of fatigue while moisturizing and protecting against future damage. Unfortunately, eye creams that pose as the savior of your under eye area are rarely what they claim to be. That’s why it’s so important to choose a day eye cream and a night eye cream.
While having two eye creams may seem a bit excessive, it’s actually the opposite. Think of it this way: does washing your face only in the morning keep your face clean for 24 hours? Does eating one meal in the evening give you energy and keep you full for an entire day? Does applying an SPF on your eyes before you go to bed keep your skin protected the next day? Of course not! Along those same lines, using only one eye cream in the morning or evening won’t give your delicate eye area the protection and attention that it needs.
Day Eye Cream
Your day eye cream product should protect, moisturize and brighten your eye area. It’s also a good idea to choose an under eye cream that creates a smooth base for makeup products in order to ensure a natural-looking finish. Look for an eye cream with a good SPF rating (SPF 15 or higher) and a texture that feels comfortable on your skin type.
Night Eye Cream
While we sleep, our bodies work overtime to make repairs. Therefore, your night eye cream should cash in on this repairative time by offering nutrients, scientifically advanced anti-aging actions and extra moisture. It’s great to choose an under eye cream formulation that will condition the skin, replace lost elastin and collagen and help smooth away visible signs of aging.
