One of the most important things you can do for your skin doesn’t have to do with using skin care products. One of the 2 or 3 best things for skin care is avoiding sunburn.
Sunburn is one of the worst things you can do for your skin. Just terrible. So then you’d assume that using a moisturizer with SPF has to be good.
Sorry but no it isn’t necessarily a good idea to use a SPF moisturiser. Except to use a natural SPF moisturizer that doesn’t damage your skin.
What is the problem with sunscreens, or having an SPF factor in your moisturizer? There’s 2 things.
The first problem is that there are experts who believe that the long term use of sunscreens can be dangerous and there is even the risk of cancer.
The second problem is this. If you’re worried about sunburn because you’re going out in the sun this afternoon you apply your sunscreen for this afternoon, say 4 or 5 hours. So any potentially harmful chemicals are applied to your skin for 4 or 5 hours, today.
But if you use a moisturizer with SPF then you’re wearing it every single day, all year. And almost all of those days you don’t need it.
See where the problem lies? If you use a sunscreen moisturizer then you multiply the risk massively. Hugely. You’re much better using a sunscreen only on days when you need it.
And wearing sunscreen every day can even cause vitamin D deficiency.
And it’s even possible to find natural SPF moisturizers that provide some sun protection from the effects of natural ingredients that happen to have some natural UV protective qualities with no chemical sunscreen.
Now you can’t get protection as good as you can from a chemical sunscreen, but use the chemical sunscreens on days you really need them.
Here’s an example of a natural SPF moisturizer. Phytessence Wakame. This is an ingredient found in the worlds best natural skin care products, it comes from a particular form of seaweed found in Japan. And it has an ability to offer some natural sun protection. And there are other natural products that have a sun protective effect.
So in my opinion you should avoid sunscreens in moisturizers, you don’t need them moist days. And you should choose natural skin care products that moisturize extremely effectively and also don’t offer any risks of cancer from chemical ingredients. Avoid a risk you don’t need to take.
Make sure on a day when you’re intending to be out in the sun for real you have a sunscreen handy.
