Hydration it is one of the pillars of the beauty routine. It helps strengthen the skin’s hydrolipidic barrier, limit external aggressions and obviously maintain resilience and elasticity. You still need to choose the right moisturizerwhose formulation contains few or no controversial ingredients and whose texture is suitable for all skin types.
The problem is that not all formulas are the same 60 million consumers wants to draw our attention to one of them: moisturizing cream with sun protection. According to the magazine, the latter may prove to be the case useless, even dangerous AND its usage would be similar to aa “false good idea”. But why ?
What are the criticisms of moisturizers with sun protection?
While moisturizing your skin daily and protecting it from the harmful effects of UV rays is a great thing, using a moisturizer with sunscreen is less so. For what ? Just because SPF 20, 30 or 50+ moisturizers do not contain enough UV filters to be effective. It would therefore be necessary to apply a very high dose to be adequately protected (2 mg per square centimeter of skin). The risk ? That this massive application of product causes discomfort and above all a lot of shine. In concrete terms, this would not be feasible for the consumer at all.
Do not apply it in the evening
If you only have one moisturizer, apply it morning and night, and it has a sunscreen, be careful. As 60 million consumers explain, some of these filters (ethylhexyl salicylate, ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, homosalate) may be endocrine disruptors. “Being exposed to it day and night represents a risk without any benefit. You might as well do without it! »…
Not to mention the fact that some filters need to be stabilized in a formula that can be occlusive to the skinspecifies the magazine. It can therefore create the appearance of pimples and other blackheads or even dehydration.
You will have understood, it is better to focus on a moisturizing cream with a controlled formulation and add sun protection (mineral or chemical) later rather than apply these 2 in 1 products which are ultimately pure marketing products.
