It is commonly known that sunburn is really bad for your skin, so doesn’t it make sense that you should use a moisturizer with sunscreen?
But surprisingly the answer is not quite what you’d expect.
There’s no doubt though that sunburn is really bad for your skin.
And if you want to make sure you’re going to have older looking skin with sagging and wrinkles, dryness and lines, just start getting sunburned at an early age, and do it regularly.
Then there’s skin cancer to consider too.
So that means that it makes total sense to use a moisturizer with sunscreen with an spf as high as possible.
Not necessarily, though I’m certainly not saying that its fine to get sunburned.
So why isn’t it a great idea to use a moisturizer with sunscreen added? Because there is some evidence that the daily use of sunscreens can be dangerous to your health and there are even some scientists who believe that regular use of sunscreens can cause cancer.
Now it certainly isn’t proven yet, but is suspected by many scientists. If, say, you use a sunscreen normally around 5 or 6 times a year then the risk is lower, but if you use a moisturizer then the chances are that you use it every day, so the risk is higher as you are using a sunscreen daily, and many days when you don’t need it.
There’s primarily 2 different types of sunscreens, those that stay on the surface and those that soak in. Those that stay on the surface are those using zinc or titanium.
If the sunscreen soaks in then a portion of them will get into your bloodstream. Possibly dangerous. And most skincare products with spf factors use the type that soaks in because it looks and feels better.
And remember, any spf factor is produced by use of synthetic chemicals and you don’t really want synthetic chemicals in your blood.
And there’s more. If you block the sun to your face every day it’s possible that you could start to suffer from vitamin D deficiency. There are studies that show that anything up to 60% of Americans suffer from a deficiency of vitamin D. (Though not all caused by sunscreen use by any means).
So now you’re wondering what to do?
Use the highest quality moisturizer with no sunscreen added. In fact the manufacturer of the worlds best skin care products specifically avoids using an spf factor in their products for all the reasons outlined.
And use a sunscreen with either zinc or titanium block only on days when you really think you are at risk of sunburn.And on most days you really won’t need sunscreen anyway, so enjoy your extra supplies of vitamin D.
