Can I use sunscreen as a moisturiser?
Yes, you can use sunscreen as a moisturiser, but it may not provide the same level of hydration as a dedicated moisturiser. Sunscreens are designed to protect your skin from UV rays, while moisturisers focus on hydrating and nourishing the skin. If your skin is particularly dry, you might want to apply a moisturiser first and then layer sunscreen on top for optimal protection.
Key points:
- Sunscreens protect against UV rays.
- Moisturisers hydrate and nourish the skin.
- Some sunscreens contain moisturising ingredients.
- Using both can enhance skin protection and hydration.
