Day Creams, Night Creams, What’s the Difference? (Especially for Mature Skin!)

Day-vs-Night-Creams-SeeMe-Beauty

They both moisturize, but day and night creams are specifically formulated to meet the varying environmental and biological experiences our skin goes through 24 hours a day.

It’s a question many of us ask: Do I really need a different moisturizer at night? Simply put, yes, you do.

The focus of your daytime skincare products (like SeeMe Beauty’s Uptown Beauty Cream) should be to protect, treat, and help prevent further damage to your skin; at night, however, you want your cream to be dedicated to surface cell renewal and repair. That’s because when it’s light out, your skin is in defense mode, warding off free-radical damage from the sun and pollution—and so the moisturizers and serums you use should contain antioxidants, like artichoke leaf extract and potent hydrators, such as hyaluronic acid, that will strengthen and support the skin in its battle with the elements.

All Night Long…

Once we’re between the sheets, our body is no longer exposed to those factors and our skin can naturally repair itself as we sleep. At this point, you want ingredients in a moisturizer that will boost the regeneration that’s already occurring.

Top on the list: retinol, which research has shown can help stimulate cell turnover and collagen production and even help reverse the visible signs of sun damage or artichoke leaf extract, which has been shown to be as effective as cosmetic retinols on mature skin. Also helpful are peptides which can hydrate to firm skin and help smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.

SeeMe Beauty Sweet Dreams Night Cream is packed with higher levels than the day cream of glycerin, niacinamide, and artichoke leaf extract to give your skin its most powerful nighttime boost.

What’s Weight Got to Do With It?

Another common difference between the two creams: Their weight.

Night creams tend to be heavier than daytime ones, and for good reason: our skin naturally loses water at night, so a thicker cream can help seal in moisture along with the active ingredients. Also, depending on your skin type or the season—cold winter air is notorious for stripping skin of moisture—you may need extra hydration.

For daytime use, try SeeMe Beauty’s Uptown Beauty Cream, for intense hydration with a luxurious, cloud-like texture that works beautifully under makeup. At night, slather on SeeMe Beauty Sweet Dreams Night Cream to wake up with a gloriously smooth and hydrated complexion.

And, as a little thanks for being a part of the Sixty and Me community, don’t forget that you can GET 15% OFF SeeMe Beauty’s amazing skincare products with promo code SEEMESIXTY.

Natural-Looking Brow Pomades to Shape, Define & Set

Whether worn alone or on top of your favorite brow pencil, brow pomades are an excellent way to shade, contour, and set your brows for all-day wear that won’t budge, smear, or transfer. Unfortunately, while brow pomades can frame your face and keep them in place for hours, there not exactly the most foolproof and easy-to-apply formula. They tend to be on the waxy or creamier side in terms of consistency, making them a bit messier and a little less forgiving if you make a mistake or overextend the line and shape a bit too much.

Aside from the increased potential for mishaps, using a brow pomade can also leave you looking with chunky, over-the-top, and crunchy looking brows, as opposed to wispy, brushed-up, and natural-looking. The key to avoiding these dilemmas is the amount of product you apply. The right amount of pomade will coat just the right amount of your natural brows, allowing you to define, fill-in, and shape without accidentally going overboard. Of course, as with any brow products, finding the right shade that matches your natural undertone (and is a half or full shades darker) is also important to get the look right as well. Scroll through to check out some of our favorite hassle-free and long-wearing brow pomades to try for yourself.

Walmart Promises to Finally Stop Locking Up “Multicultural” Products

It’s about time. Walmart announced it would stop locking up Black hair products, or beauty items they deem “multicultural.” The report first came from CBS Denver reporter Tori Mason, who tweeted that Walmart emailed her directly to say it would “discontinue places these items in cases.” This came after the retailer has been under fire for discriminating against people of color, locking only these products behind glass in 4,700 stores nationwide.

That means, if you need a deep conditioner or edge control, you’d have to call a store associate, who would unlock the case and take the product upfront to the register for you. This can be a pretty humiliating experience for all involved. Walmart spokesman Lorenzo Lopez told NBC News that the company is “sensitive to the issue and understands the concerns” and would be implementing the change in policy “as soon as possible.”

“As a retailer serving millions of customers every day from diverse backgrounds, Walmart does not tolerate discrimination of any kind,” said Lopez. “Like other retailers, the cases were put in place to deter shoplifters from some products such as electronics, automotive, cosmetics and other personal care products.”

The excuse from retailers was always that these products are stolen more than others, just like many pricey razors are also locked up. Walmart confirmed to NBC News that the decision to place certain hair and beauty products in locked cases was based on theft data, and that it varied by location. Though it wouldn’t share this data.

Walmart isn’t the only retailer to lock up these products. Major chains such as Walgreens and CVS have been accused of the same thing. Let’s hope Walmart’s change will push others to follow suit.

Leah McSweeney made a total statement on last night’s episode of Watch What Happens Live, and we’re not just talking about her now infamous “Bl*w Me necklace,” but also with her purple velour hoodie sweatshirt which is by a brand we literally haven’t seen pop up since the early 2000s. And tbh, we love the fact that she decided to throw things back to a much better time when we were just living The Simple Life Life in the Fab Lane.

Fashionably,
