Day vs Night Moisturisers: What’s the Difference?
Modern facial moisturisers tend to fall into two camps – day and night. So, what’s the difference? And do we really need both? Let’s take a closer look at moisturisers, and how day and night versions can help keep your skin fresh and looking healthy, around the clock.
What is moisturiser?
Moisturisers are like giving your skin a big drink of water. Moisturisers are topical lotions applied to skin to help hydrate, smooth and soften. Formulations can be cream or gel, and help prevent skin dryness by boosting water content and restoring the natural skin barrier.
Why is moisturising so important?
A moisturiser can help to maintain the skin’s natural hydration and, in turn, support its barrier function to better protect the skin from various environmental factors (sun exposure, extreme temperatures, pollution and wind), common irritants and allergens as well as slowing the rate of skin’s visible ageing. Therefore, the overall purpose of a moisturiser is to support the skin’s barrier function, strength and natural moisturisation by maintaining or increasing the skin’s hydration and reducing water loss.
How do moisturisers work?
Moisturisers help boost water content in your skin three ways: by attracting, retaining and sealing in moisture. Modern moisturising formulations usually perform all these functions in the one cream, using a combination of:
Humectants: Substances that attract water, like glycerin.
Emollients: Help soften and seal in moisture by filling in gaps between skin cells, like liquid paraffin/safflower seed oil.
Occludents: Waxy or oily substances that form a barrier on the surface of the skin and reduce water loss, like petrolatum.
From day to night cream: The key differences
To maintain the health of your skin 24/7, day and night moisturisers are the ultimate skincare duo. While they both hydrate, their key purpose differs: day creams help protect and hydrate, while night creams revitalise skin.
Do you really need both?
Day and night creams are not just the same formulation packaged differently. Daytime moisturisers are lightweight and may have protective features, like Sun Protection Factor (SPF). Thicker night creams seal in moisture, with rich moisturising ingredients to replenish moisture lost during the day. The necessity of both depends on your individual skincare needs.
Day Creams: Things to Look For
Environmental factors like air conditioning and pollutants can damage skin and speed up the ageing process. Look for a day cream with SPF, that is gently formulated to help reduce the chance of irritation, and has a lightweight texture that can be worn under makeup.
Sun protection
Day cream with a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30+, is a simple way to help shield your skin from UV radiation, which can cause wrinkles, dark spots, and even skin cancer. Try the QV Face Moisturising Day Cream SPF 30*.
*Always read the label and follow the directions for use.
Night Creams: Things to Look For
Night creams work harmoniously with your skin’s natural repair cycle. These richer creams can help to ensure your skin is being hydrated as you sleep, the perfect time for skin to absorb nourishing ingredients.
Gentle formulations
Gentle Formulations that are pH-balanced, low-irritant, free from fragrance, colour and lanolin. Non-comedogenic - so they wont block pores - and dermatologically tested.
Anti-ageing ingredients
Night creams containing ceramides or niacinamide (Vitamin B3), help to support the skin barrier function and improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while you sleep.
Deep hydration
For a deeply nourishing overnight option, look for creamy textures that lock in moisture with ceramides to help support the skin barrier, and safflower seed oil to replenish. Try the QV Face Nurturing Night Cream.
How to choose the right moisturiser for your skin type – Morning and Night
Finding the perfect moisturiser starts with understanding your skin type and choosing formulas that work best at different times of the day.
Oily Skin: During the day, opt for a lightweight, oil-free gel moisturiser to hydrate without clogging pores. At night, a water-based or mattifying moisturiser helps balance oil production while keeping skin hydrated while you sleep, such as the QV Face Oil Free Moisturiser.
Dry Skin - Extremely Dry Skin: Look for a hydrating cream with ceramides during the day such as QV Ceramides Cream. At night, for extra hydration choose a more rich formula such as the QV Intensive Cream.
Combination Skin: A lightweight lotion in the morning helps prevent excess shine, such as QV Ceramides Lotion, while a slightly richer night cream can nourish drier areas like the QV Face Nurturing Night Cream.
Sensitive Skin: Choose a fragrance-free, soothing moisturiser like the QV Face Ultra Calming Moisturiser with ingredients such as Avemide 15™ and pro-vitamin B5 for both day and night to reduce the chance of irritation.
Eczema Prone Skin: The QV product range is suitable for eczema prone skin. In the morning, the QV Ceramides Cream provides long lasting hydration. At night, At night, a more intense formula like an ointment or balm can help replenish moisture like the QV Dermcare Sting-Free Ointment.
Tailoring moisturisers to your skin type and the time of day helps ensure balanced, healthy looking skin. By adding a day and night cream into your regime, you’ll be targeting relevant skin concerns around the clock.

250g strawberries
300ml thickened cream, whipped
57g canned passionfruit pulp (see Tip)

Mediterranean Mornings at Zaitouna Café

Drawing from the rich culinary heritage of the Eastern Mediterranean, Zaitouna Café brings authentic Middle Eastern breakfast rituals to life in the heart of Chester Hill.
Zaitouna Fatteh: A Signature Dish
At the center of this morning celebration is the beloved Zaitouna Fatteh—a Levantine classic that layers crispy pita bread, velvety yogurt, and tender chickpeas with fragrant spices. Finished with a drizzle of premium olive oil, toasted pine nuts, and a dusting of tangy sumac, it’s a dish that delights the senses and satisfies the soul.
Mediterranean breakfasts are designed to fuel the body with:
Protein-rich legumes for strength and satiety
Healthy fats from olive oil and nuts for heart health
Complex carbs from whole grains for sustained energy This balanced approach helps regulate blood sugar and keeps you feeling full and focused throughout the day.
Zaitouna Café sources fresh, local produce whenever possible and imports spices directly from the Mediterranean. Their house za’atar—a cherished family blend of wild thyme, sesame seeds, and sumac—adds a bold, earthy flavor that’s unmistakably authentic.

5 Foods to Eat After Cardio Training
Refuelling your body with the correct nutrients after cardio sessions from Anytime Fitness - Chester Square Shopping Centre is important for muscular repair, energy replenishment, and building strength for improved performance in your future workouts. There are three essential macronutrients that should be considered when choosing your post-workout meal or snack: protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats.
The timing of your post-cardio meal is also important. By including these three nutrients in your meal within 30 minutes of the end of your session, you will be ticking three main goals of post-cardio nutrition:
Decreasing muscle protein breakdown
Increasing muscle protein synthesis (growth)
Replenishing glycogen stores
Recovery nutrition should:
Be rich in quality carbohydrates to replenish muscle fuel stores.
During high-intensity cardio, glycogen is used as your body’s main fuel source.
For adequate restoration, aim for 0.75 to 1 gram per kilogram of your body weight, immediately following your session
Do you ever find yourself rushing off to work after your session? Or consuming your first post-session meal, several hours after your session? Delaying your carbohydrate intake longer than 2 hours post-exercise has been shown to delay glycogen synthesis by 45%.
Aim for high GI foods post-training, to rapidly replenish energy stores such as pasta, rice, oats, bread, wraps, and fruit.
Contain some lean protein to promote muscle repair.
Ensure your post-session meal contains 20 grams of quality, lean protein.
Continue with a protein source in your meals or snacks, 5 to 6 times throughout the day for positive protein balance post-training.
High protein food sources include lean beef, chicken breast, turkey breast, tinned tuna, salmon, greek yoghurt, mixed beans and tofu. Protein powder can also be a quick and easy option to include with smoothies, oats, or milk.
Include a source of fluid and electrolytes to rehydrate effectively.
Dairy foods such as milk and yoghurt can be a great option to cover all three recovery goals, including carbohydrate, protein and fluids. Other rehydration options may include electrolyte tablets in your water bottle, or a fruit smoothie.
Top 5 meal suggestions include:
Banana & oat protein shake
Chicken or tuna salad wrap
Protein oats with seeds
Muesli with Greek yoghurt and berries
Eggs on wholegrain toast with avocado
Top 5 quick snack suggestions include:
Chocolate milk
Handful of dried fruit & nut mix
Greek yoghurt with fresh fruit
High protein cottage cheese & boiled egg with rice cakes
Fruit smoothie with Greek yoghurt & honey
Remember sustainable, enjoyable nutrition habits are key to reaching your health goals. Nutrition and exercise go hand-in-hand – one without the other is incomplete. It can also be tempting to follow a fad diet or social media trend, but often these diets are restrictive and unsustainable.
For individualised nutrition recommendations, seek advice from a registered dietitian.

What You Need To Know: SPF Basics
SPF Basics
SPF (aka Sun Protection Factor) is a crucial defense against UV damage, signs of aging, and skin cancer. The numbers on SPF products indicate the level of protection you'll get - an SPF 15 will protect your skin from burning 15 times longer than if you wore no sunscreen. With tips straight from our pros, we'll guide you through your options so you can choose the SPF that's right for your skin.
SPF Prevents Dark Spots
The sun causes freckles, discolouration and hyperpigmentation. Applying a broad spectrum SPF (15 or higher) like the Garnier to your skin daily prevents the appearance of these sun spots. Before applying your SPF, another recommended ingredient to include in your routine for sun protection is Garnier Vitamin C, available at Chester Square Pharmacy - this antioxidant helps protect skin cells from external aggressors such as air pollution and sun damage typically experienced during the day.
SPF Can Expire
Depending on the expiration date and how you store it, SPF can degrade over time. Keep your products out of direct sunlight and make sure to replace SPFs that are past their sell by date. Also be aware of if the consistency and smell has started to change.
