Why Would You Use A Natural SPF Moisturizer?

One of the single best things you can do for your skin isn't to use a skin care product. It's to avoid 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.

Sadly there's good reasons to avoid a moisturizer with SPF, except that you can get a natural SPF moisturizer.

There's 2 reasons why you should avoid a moisturizer with traditional sunscreen.

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 you can also cause vitamin D deficiency by long term sunscreen use.

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 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.

And keep a sunscreen to hand for those days when you really will need it.
