Moisturisers penetrate the skin – while SPF products sit on the skin. So can the products work in combination in your SPF moisturiser and keep you protected? Let’s find out!

Is Your SPF Moisturiser Keeping You Protected?

SPF blocks UV rays, so doesn’t it make sense to add this as the final layer of skincare. If you have a combined product, how exactly do they work together?

Which SPF Moisturiser Do You Use?

It depends on the product. Moisturiser may dilute the SPF which will minimise your protection from the sun. Always use a broad spectrum combined product which is at least SPF 30. This will mean you are fully protected from both UVA and UVB rays. SPF only relates to UVB whereas broad spectrum blocks both UVA and UVB rays. The SkinBase Daily Repair and Protect cream is the perfect product to keep you protected.

Use Enough Product

Your SPF moisturiser may not provide as much sun protection as pure SPF. How can you combat this? Make sure you are using the right amount so that the SPF works to its capacity. Two fingers or the equivalent of two teaspoons worth is needed for your face.

Streamline Your Skincare

Applying your SPF moisturiser is keeping you more protected than just applying moisturiser alone – so don’t give up on it. The good news is if you are using an SPF 30 and applying the correct amount, it is a great way to minimise your skincare routine – and stay protected.

Rebecca Willshee Nail and Beauty Specialist

Testimonial: “JC was so low, suicidal at points. Sore, red, angry, his skin was awful, we had tried everything and doctors you name it. We reached out to Becky, who was wonderful. My son was quiet and withdrawn, lacked confidence and self esteem, and locked himself away from the world. Becky booked us in for a consultation to discuss different options of treatments and we decided the new hydro treatment would be the best option. We started the course and JC was nervous but Becky was great with him talking him through everything, step by step! As we went each time JC’s skin got better and better, but also the difference in him was huge, he was gaining confidence, shoulders back, head held high. We have watched his skin change from this red, aggressive, angry skin that was sore, acne was debilitating to him but now he is confident, holds his head up high and has even got his first job! We are so proud. When we met Becky I felt confident she would help us get his skin better and back on track but what has actually happened is skin looks amazing but to see our son gain confidence has been the biggest win! Teens often get pushed aside, put on string meds and told “it’s just your age” but this isn’t what they want to hear, but The SkinBase treatments Becky has done has changed his life! We cannot thank you enough Becky! JC is continuing with the treatments as it still gets the odd breakouts but the scarring is still improving week in week out. The hydro Facial is just amazing and we cannot recommend it enough and of course Becky and her passion for skin and helping people is wonderful!”
