Decades ago, emollient technology for facial creams was in its infancy. Most face creams left a shine on the skin and a greasy, uncomfortable feeling. They were certainly not the best for going out on the street feeling clean and comfortable.

This led to the idea of "day and night care" appearing in the cosmetic world. It is not because the skin has different needs during the day than at night. The skin is the same at any time of the day. The reason was that the creams were very oily and not suitable to be seen wearing.

The usual routine at that time was to apply a very soft cream, with hardly anything, during the day and at night to apply the one that did have active ingredients because it did not matter so much that it left a shine since we were going to bed.

Over the years the science of emollients evolved. The cosmetic industry achieved increasingly sophisticated textures to the point where a cream was absorbed immediately without leaving any residue, shine or greasy feeling. The concept of "day and night" treatment came to an end.

The routine then changed to using a serum with fast absorption and intense effect, usually with a higher concentration of active ingredients, and then a cream. The same routine for day and night.

Why then in the middle of the 21st century is it back to routines to use a day cream and a night cream. Because of the sun.

In recent years we have become aware of the importance of protecting the skin from the sun. Once again, the industry has responded to this need by including low-protection sunscreens in its formulas. They are not designed for a day at the beach but to protect the skin during everyday life.

Perfect.

But it turns out that doctors began to argue that sunscreens, while not harmful in any sense, had no reason to be used in a night treatment. And why expose the skin to an ingredient it doesn't need.

This idea has brought back the routine of day cream, with sun protection factor, and night cream without it.

In the past, night creams were used because they left a shiny, greasy feeling and were not suitable for day-to-day use. Today they are used to spare the skin sunscreen when it does not need it.
