Frequently Asked Questions
-
A day cream is a light, fast-absorbing moisturiser made for daytime wear, hydrating the skin while sitting comfortably under sunscreen and makeup, where night creams are richer and built for repair while you sleep. Day protects; night nourishes.
- Light textures that absorb quickly and never feel greasy.
- Hydrating, soothing botanicals for all-day comfort.
- A smooth base for sunscreen and makeup.
-
Daytime formulas favour the lighter, fresher members of the Ayurvedic skin family.
- Aloe vera and cucumber, weightless hydration.
- Rose, cooling and softly toning.
- Sandalwood, calm for skin that faces the day's heat.
- Saffron and turmeric, a quiet daytime glow.
-
Match the cream's weight to your skin's nature: dry Vata skin wants a creamier day formula it can drink all morning, oily Kapha skin a feather-light lotion or gel-cream, and sensitive Pitta skin a cooling, low-fragrance one. Climate adjusts the choice further, lighter in humid heat, richer in dry cold. The right day cream disappears into the skin and is forgotten until evening, which is exactly the point.
-
Thinnest to thickest, letting each layer settle: cleanse, tone if you like, then day cream, then sunscreen, then makeup.
- Apply the day cream to clean, slightly damp skin.
- Wait a few minutes for it to absorb fully.
- Follow with sunscreen, the true daytime hero.
- Finish with makeup once the sunscreen has set.
-
Daytime is when the skin meets its aggressors, sun, wind, dust, and pollution, all of which Ayurveda reads as drying, heating influences that aggravate Vata and Pitta and age the skin ahead of its time. The day cream's role is to keep the skin's moisture sealed and its surface calm under that assault, with sun protection layered above. Evening then becomes repair time, with richer oils doing the night shift.
-
A good lightweight day cream does much of a primer's job: it smooths, hydrates, and gives makeup an even, comfortable base, which is why many people need nothing more between cleanser and foundation. Let it absorb fully first, so makeup glides rather than slides. Very oily skin may still prefer a mattifying step, while dry skin finds that a hydrating day cream actually makes foundation sit better than any primer.
-
It is genuinely useful rather than marketing: day asks for lightness and compatibility with sunscreen, while night welcomes richness and repair, two jobs one cream does only with compromise. That said, simple routines work too, a light cream by day with a few drops of facial oil added at night achieves the same split with one product and one bottle of oil. The principle matters more than the product count.
