What is daytime skincare?

Wondering if there's a need for a daytime skincare routine? The answer is yes, because your skin requires different products in the day and night. Day moisturisers are specially formulated with certain benefits that would only be beneficial for day usage, such as protection from UV rays, etc. In the daytime, you should make it a point to use a lightweight day cream with SPF to protect your skin against harmful UV rays and environmental stressors.

Types of Daytime Skincare

1. Day Emulsion

Emulsions are water-based day cream moisturisers with hydrating benefits. Looking for a brightening emulsion? Our White Plus Pure Translucency Brightening Emulsion visibly reduces dark spots and illuminates your complexion in a single step. Packed with Acerola extracts and Vitamin C, this brightening emulsion also nourishes and softens the skin. Frequent exposure to the sun causes hyperpigmentation and dark spots. For extra protection against sun damage, use the White Plus Pure Translucency Brightening Emulsion SPF20 PA+++ to shield your skin against harsh UV rays.

It’s never too early to use age-defying day skincare to reduce the signs of ageing upon the skin. Suitable for normal to combination skin types, the Multi-Active Day Emulsion is made with Organic Teasel and Myrothamnus to abolish the first signs of premature ageing, such as fine lines and wrinkles.

Our Plant Gold is a 2-in-1 plant-based, oil emulsion with aromatherapy benefits. Formulated with Blue Orchid, Macadamia, Patchouli, Almond, Grape and Hazelnut, this lightweight emulsion is enriched with Omega 9 and Vitamin E to effectively nourish, soften and restore radiance to your complexion. Blue Orchid Oil forms a non-greasy texture that comforts the skin, while Wintergreen offers antimicrobial protection against bacteria.

2. Day-use Serum

Serums deliver active ingredients into the deeper layers of the skin where moisturisers and emulsions can’t penetrate. They’re especially helpful in targeting specific concerns such as wrinkles, dark spots, enlarged pores and other signs of ageing. The Double Serum is one of Clarins’ best-selling anti-ageing serum that firms up the skin, tightens pores and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. After cleansing and toning, warm the serum between your palms before applying it to your face. Be sure to apply it to your neck and decollete as well.

3. Day Face Cream

Day creams are thinner in texture and contain ingredients that guard against environmental pollutants and UV rays, while night creams are usually thicker and packed with nutrients that help your skin recharge as you sleep.

• Day Moisturiser for Young Adults

The My Clarins RE-BOOST Refreshing Hydrating Cream suits teens and young adults who want to achieve a glowing, blemish-free complexion.

• Day Moisturiser for Dehydrated Skin

Our Hydra-Essentiel Light Cream and Hydra-Essentiel Cooling Gel are suitable day moisturisers for dry skin. Lightweight and non-greasy, they’re made with Organic Leaf of Life extracts to quench thirsty skin and lock in moisture for supple, refreshed skin throughout the day.

• Anti-Ageing Moisturiser for Day-Use

Use the Multi-Active Day Cream for normal to dry skin to combat the first signs of ageing, and the Extra-Firming Day Cream for all skin types if you want to firm up slacking skin and reactivate firmness at its source.

For mature skin, the Super Restorative Day Cream is a powerful anti-ageing day cream that instantly brightens your skin from within, prevents dark spots and minimises the appearance of deep wrinkles. If you want a healthy pinkish glow, try the Super Restorative Rose Radiance Cream as it restores radiance and vitality to dull, ageing complexions.

Apply your day cream after your serum in gentle, upward motions and allow the formula to settle into your skin before using sunscreen or other products.

Basic Day skincare routine

Healthy skin starts with cleansing your face in the morning, then applying a suitable toner to tighten the pores. Use a serum for extra moisture, and then apply your preferred emulsion or moisturiser to prevent skin dehydration. Don’t forget to include sunscreen at the end of your skincare routine, as advised by numerous dermatologists, to protect your complexion against hyperpigmentation and premature ageing.
