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.
Avoiding sunburn is one of the top 3 things you can do for your skin. So doesn't it make sense to use a moisturizer with SPF?
Sorry to bring bad news but SPF moisturizers have their problems, and so you may prefer to use a natural SPF moisturizer that moisturizes but doesn't risk damage to your skin.
What is the problem with sunscreens, or having an SPF factor in your moisturizer? There's 2 things.
Firstly there are many experts convinced that long term use of sunscreens can be dangerous and even cause cancer. It's not proven either way, but it's suspected.
But there's also another problem. If you really need sunscreen because you're going to be out in the sun for a long time then you may really need it a few days a year.
But if you use a SPF moisturizer you're wearing potentially dangerous sunscreen every single day of the year. Most 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 you can also cause vitamin D deficiency by long term sunscreen use.
But you can get natural SPF moisturizers which provide some sun protection due to the use of natural ingredients that have some sun protection properties. No chemical sunscreens at all.
Now this protection isn't as strong as a chemical SPF factor, but is worth having if you're convinced, like us, that you really don't need a strong sunscreen in your moisturizer, that a natural moisturizer with spf from the ingredients is sufficient.
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 you need, in my view, to avoid moisturizers with chemical sunscreens, and choose natural skin care products with no added chemical sunscreen. Its potentially dangerous and you don't need it anyway.
Make sure on a day when you're intending to be out in the sun for real you have a sunscreen handy. - 30292
