How A Daytime Moisturizer is Different From a Nighttime One

You will get more out of your facial and other day spa services if you moisturize your skin on a regular basis. Moisturizing skin will help keep it healthy. You will need to use a daytime and nighttime moisturizer. The moisturizers are similar, but they have different functions.  Daytime products are designed to protect your skin from the harsh elements that you may be exposed to during the day. This includes things such as environmental stresses, makeup, and UV damage. It may also have some anti-aging properties. It is typically lightweight and has SPF protection.  Nighttime products are designed to repair your skin. This is important because your skin does most of the repairing while you are sleeping. It is designed to penetrate your skin for several hours.
