It Makes Sense To Use A Moisturizer With Sunscreen Deosn’t It?

Most people know that one of the worst things you can do for your skin is to get sunburned. So should you using a moisturizer with sunscreen?

But the answer may not be quite what you thought it might be.

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.

Not to mention the risk of skin cancer.

So doesn’t it make complete sense to use a moisturizer with an spf of 15 or even 30?

Not necessarily, though I’m certainly not saying that its fine to get sunburned.

So what reason is there for avoiding moisturizers with a high spf? The reason is that there is some evidence that daily use of sunscreens can be dangerous for your health, and there is even some suggestion that it 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 a sunscreen soaks in then some of it will get into your blood. This could be dangerous. And skin care products with sunscreens use the type that soaks in because it looks and feels better on your skin.

Spf factor is produced by use of synthetic chemicals, and its always a concern getting synthetic chemicals into your bloodstream.

And theres another factor to consider. If you block the sun to your face daily you can suffer from a deficiency of vitamin D, because the sun on our skin helps our vitamin D supply. Studies have shown that up to 60% of Americans are vitamin D deficient, though not necessarily all from sunscreen use.

So what do you do about it?

Use the highest quality moisturizer possible, without sunscreen in it. The manufacturer of the worlds very best moisturizers and skin care products specifically doesn’t add a sunscreen to their products for all the reasons I’ve mentioned.

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 wont need sunscreen anyway, so enjoy your extra supplies of vitamin D.
