Should I Be Using A Moisturizer With Sunscreen?

by admin on March 17, 2009

by Peter Albertonach 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.

It’s totally clear 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 skin cancer.

So that means that it makes total sense to use a moisturizer with sunscreen with an spf as high as possible.

Well no, but that doesn’t mean that getting sunburned is fine.

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.

That’s not to say that it’s proven, but it is certainly suspected by many scientists. Now if you use a sunscreen for, say, 5 or 6 times a year, then the risk is a little lower. But if you use a moisturizer with sunscreen added chances are you’re going to be using it daily, so you’re using a sunscreen daily.

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 of course all spf factor is produced by using synthetic chemicals, and you don’t want to be getting chemicals into your bloodstream.

And there’s 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 now you’re wondering what to do?

Use the best moisturizer in the world that doesn’t have a sunscreen. The manufacturer of the best skin care products actually doesn’t use any sunscreens in their skin care products for all the reasons I’ve just outlined.

And wait till there’s a day when you really think you need a spf factor, then use a sunscreen with either zinc or titanium. On other days you won’t need one, and then you can stock up on that vitamin D.

My website has more information on the best skin care products that don’t have any sunscreens.
