When evaluating the proper application order of night cream and moisturizer, one might ponder: should I apply night cream before or after the moisturizer? It’s intriguing to consider how the layers of skincare interact with each other. Night creams are typically richer and designed to provide intense hydration and nourishment during the skin’s restorative phase overnight. Conversely, moisturizers often serve as a preliminary layer intended to lock in moisture or create a barrier against environmental aggressors. Does the sequence in which these products are applied truly influence their efficacy? Could it be possible that applying a moisturizer before night cream enhances absorption, allowing the latter to penetrate more deeply and deliver its beneficial ingredients more effectively? Or, by layering the products in the reverse order, am I simply coating my skin and preventing the night cream’s potency from reaching its intended target? Such questions warrant thoughtful consideration in the quest for optimal skin health.
