Do I need a separate sunscreen if my moisturiser has SPF?
Yes, it is generally recommended to use a separate sunscreen even if your moisturiser contains SPF. This is because the SPF in moisturisers is often lower and may not provide adequate protection for prolonged sun exposure. A dedicated sunscreen is specifically formulated to offer higher levels of protection against harmful UV rays.
Key points:
- Moisturisers with SPF may not provide sufficient protection.
- Sunscreens are designed for extended sun exposure.
- The effectiveness of SPF can vary between products.
- Layering products can enhance overall sun protection.
