Day Cream
Day creams are a vital part of any skincare routine, no matter your skin type. They provide hydration and other beneficial ingredients while also providing SPF protection from the sun. This combination is essential for keeping your skin looking young and healthy. At Ella & Jo Cosmetics, we are big advocates for wearing SPF on your face daily to help prevent sun damage and early ageing.
There are a variety of day creams on the market, so it can be tricky to find the right one for you. Most skincare professionals will recommend wearing an SPF of at least 30 daily to help prevent sun damage especially if you have fair skin. We might be biased but we think our ‘Plump & Protect Day Cream with SPF 30’ is the best face moisturiser to add to your morning skincare routine.
Make sure to apply your day cream every morning after cleansing, applying serum and before applying other skincare products for youthful and healthy skin!
Why moisturise?
It's no secret that moisturising is key to keeping your skin looking and feeling its best. But why is it so important?
Moisturising helps to protect your skin from the sun and environmental pollution, both of which can cause damage over time. It also helps to keep your skin hydrated, which can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and other signs of ageing.
And if that's not reason enough, moisturising also helps to improve the appearance of pigmentation, providing a more even complexion. So if you're looking for brighter, healthier-looking skin, make sure to moisturise daily!
Should I use a moisturiser or a serum?
There is a lot of debate surrounding moisturisers vs serums, and which one is better for your skin. Moisturisers are a popular product in everyone’s skincare routine. Serums, on the other hand, are seen as a more advanced skincare step and are generally recommended by dermatologists & skin specialists for achieving a more enhanced appearance of the skin.
So, what’s the difference between moisturisers and serums? Firstly, moisturisers contain more water than serums, which gives them their hydrating properties. They also contain fats and oils, as well as other ingredients like collagen and elastin to help keep the skin hydrated and looking younger. Serums, on the other hand, are made up of mostly concentrated ingredients like peptides, vitamins and antioxidants. They don’t contain any water, which is why they’re often seen as more effective in helping to improve the appearance of the skin. If you are looking to add a serum to your skincare routine, be sure to check out our Hydrating Hyaluronic Serum.
So, which one should you be using? Celebrities like Jennifer Anniston, Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Lopez have chatted with numerous publications swearing by the use of both moisturisers/day creams and serums daily to keep skin youthful and glowing. Using both a moisturiser and serum can give you the best results. The moisturiser will hydrate your skin while the serum will target your specific concerns.
At Ella & Jo Cosmetics, We are advocates of using both after cleansing in the morning to help prevent wrinkles from setting and creating a flawless dewy base for your makeup.
Should I moisturise during the morning or night?
Ideally, you should moisturise both day and night. A day cream moisturiser should provide hydration and sun protection, while a night cream such as our Relax & Renew Night Cream can be used in the evening to deliver intense hydration that can help improve the appearance of skin texture and reduce the signs of ageing.
What is the best face moisturiser to buy?
There are a few things you should look for in a day cream:
- SPF 30 or higher to protect from the sun's UV rays
- Active ingredients to help plump and protect the skin
- Adequate protection to shield against environmental damage
- Pigmentation reduction formula to help improve skin tone
Ella & Jo's Plump and Protect Day Cream with SPF 30 contains all of these key ingredients, making it an excellent choice for a daily moisturiser. It helps keep your skin hydrated while providing broad-spectrum protection from the sun and other environmental aggressors. It also contains a patented pigmentation powerhouse two-fold formula to help reduce the appearance of pigmentation on the skin.
Ella & Jo’s Plump and Protect is the best moisturiser for multitasking & deep hydration
Creating multi-tasking and high-performing products is something we feel passionate about at Ella & Jo. The ‘Plump and Protect’ Day cream is the perfect choice for those who are looking for a moisturiser that can multitask.
The cream contains a powerhouse of ingredients and properties to help keep your skin in top shape. Some ingredients include;
Ceramides
Ceramides are beneficial for skin care because they help to retain moisture, keeping the skin hydrated. They also help to form a protective barrier on the skin, which can prevent moisture loss and protect against environmental toxins. Additionally, ceramides can help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and improve skin elasticity.
Hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the human body. It is most commonly known for its ability to bind and hold onto water, making it an excellent ingredient for hydrating skin. Hyaluronic acid is also a good anti-ageing ingredient, as it helps to plump up the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
Glycerin
When it comes to daily skincare, glycerin is a key ingredient to look for. This is because glycerin is a humectant, meaning it helps attract and retain moisture. This is important for keeping skin hydrated, which can help improve the appearance of skin overall. Additionally, glycerin can help soothe skin, making it a good option for those with sensitive skin.
In addition, the cream also offers innovative anti-blue light, UVA, UVB and anti-pollution protection. This means that the cream not only hydrates and protects the skin but also helps to reduce pigmentation. By providing all of these benefits in one product, Ella & Jo's Plump and Protect cream is the perfect choice for anyone who wants to look and feel their best.
Anti-Blue Light Protection in the Day Cream? ! Is Blue Light Harming Your Skin Health?
Did you know that the zoom calls, TikTok and binge-worthy Netflix series could be a contributing cause to your ageing skin? Blue light is known to cause skin ageing. It is found not only in the sun's rays but also in the artificial light emitted from electronic devices like laptops, TVs, phones and LED lighting. Blue light penetrates deeply into the skin, causing oxidative damage and inflammation. This can lead to a loss of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, which are essential for maintaining youthful skin. Over time, this can lead to wrinkles, age spots and other signs of skin ageing.
As we’ve seen, day creams are an essential part of any skincare routine. Not only do they provide hydration and protection from the sun and environmental pollution, but they can also help to plump up the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. If you’re looking for a high-quality day cream that will protect your skin from damage, we recommend Plump & Protect Day Cream with SPF 30. Made with vegan-friendly and pregnancy-safe ingredients, this day cream is perfect for keeping your skin healthy and looking its best.
