There are some skin care routines that should be done both in the morning and at night, such as cleansing and toning to maintain a glowing complexion. However, the skin on your face generally requires different care during the day versus the nighttime. The skin surgeons at the office of Lauren A. Daman, MD, PC, in Hartford, Connecticut, provide personalized skin evaluations, diagnosis, and care in a supportive and professional environment. These skilled dermatologists offer a variety of skin care treatments including scar removal, age spot treatments, and Botox® to improve the look and feel of skin.

During the day, skin is in under more stress, causing it to sag. It is exposed to makeup and bacteria from touching your face, as well as harmful ultraviolet rays and pollutants from the environment. This leads to skin cell damage including wrinkles and discoloration. Using skin care products in the morning that feature antioxidant ingredients are useful for protecting your skin throughout the day. Vitamin C provides a boost to prevent premature aging of the skin, especially on the face and neck. Vitamin C serums help minimize the appearance of fine lines and are a natural age spot treatment that promotes a radiant complexion. For more serious cases, the skin surgeons at Lauren A. Daman, MD, PC, offer laser surgery for brown spots and skin discoloration.

Since this skin care process may cause minor irritation and redness, it is best done in the evening, allowing the skin to restore and rebuild before the alarm clock goes off. At night, the skin is in a reparative state, and the focus should be on providing hydration and nourishment for retaining proper moisture levels so the skin is recharged. A well-formulated night cream will tackle dehydration and dull skin tone while helping to smooth lines.

Night creams also prevent premature aging and boost collagen to help maintain elasticity, strength, and structure of the skin, creating a more youthful appearance. These creams usually include ingredients that are more concentrated than a daytime moisturizer, allowing full penetration and deeper hydration. Remember to treat your neck as an extension of your face and apply night cream to that area as well.

For further skin care help, Lauren A Daman, MD, PC, provides non-invasive procedures like Botox and Restylane injections, microdermabrasion, and chemical peels to achieve a smoother skin texture.
