How to check if two dates not on the same day. I came up with this solution but maybe there is a better way to do this:

 var actualDate = new Date();

 var isNotToday = dateToCheck.getDay() !== actualDate.getDay() || dateToCheck < actualDate - 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;

Another option is using .toDateString() function to parse both dates into strings. The function formats output to: Wed Jul 28 1993. Then you can compare both date strings.

actualDate.toDateString() === dateToCheck.toDateString()

// returns true if actualDate is same day as dateToCheck
