päivävoide

Päivävoide, which translates to "day cream" in English, is a skincare product designed for use during the daytime. It typically offers a lighter consistency than night creams and is formulated to provide hydration and protection throughout the day. Key ingredients in day creams often include humectants, such as hyaluronic acid, to draw moisture to the skin, and emollients, like ceramides or plant-based oils, to soften and smooth the skin's surface.

Many day creams also incorporate sun protection factors (SPF) to shield the skin from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation, a primary cause of premature aging and skin damage. These formulations aim to create a barrier against environmental stressors, including pollution and weather changes. Depending on specific skin concerns, day creams can also contain active ingredients to address issues like redness, dullness, or fine lines. Their texture is generally designed to absorb quickly, making them suitable for use under makeup without leaving a greasy residue. The primary function of a päivävoide is to maintain skin hydration, provide a protective layer, and prepare the skin for the day's challenges.
