Is it OK to wear moisturizer with SPF at night?

Generally, it is not recommended to wear moisturizer with SPF at night. When the sun goes down, your skin is no longer exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light, so there is no need to use a moisturizer with SPF. In fact, SPF can block your skin from absorbing the beneficial antioxidants that help repair your skin while you sleep. It is best to choose a moisturizer without SPF for nighttime use.

Should you put on SPF before bed?

Yes, it is recommended to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher before bed. Sunscreens help protect your skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays, which can cause sunburn, skin damage, and premature aging. Additionally, sunscreen should be re-applied every two hours while you are outdoors and after swimming or sweating.

What happens if you sleep with SPF on?

If you sleep with SPF on, you can greatly reduce your risk of sun damage, including sunburns, premature aging, and skin cancer. However, it is important to remember that SPF is only effective while it is still on your skin, so it is important to reapply the sunscreen every two hours or after swimming or sweating. Additionally, SPF should be reapplied even if you are sleeping indoors, as UVA and UVB rays can still penetrate glass and cause sun damage.
