Do overnight hand creams stain bedding?

Rich creams can leave residue on sheets, which is why many people wear cotton gloves after applying. Letting the cream absorb for a few minutes also helps.

Can it be used during the day too?

It can, though the thicker texture may feel greasy while typing or cooking. A lighter lotion is often kept for daytime.
