Is SPF Moisturiser as good as sunscreen?

SPF moisturiser is not as effective as sunscreen in protecting your skin from the sun’s harmful rays. Sunscreen offers full protection from UVA and UVB rays, while SPF moisturisers only offer protection from UVB rays. Additionally, SPF moisturisers need to be reapplied more often than sunscreen. Therefore, it is generally recommended to use sunscreen for the best sun protection.

Which is better sunscreen or moisturizer?

Sunscreen is generally better for protecting your skin from the harmful effects of the sun’s UV rays, whereas moisturizer is better for keeping your skin hydrated and soft. Sunscreen should be applied before moisturizer, as the sunscreen will act as a barrier and help protect your skin from the sun’s rays. Moisturizer should then be applied after the sunscreen to help keep your skin soft and hydrated.

Can I skip sunscreen and use moisturizer?

It is not recommended to skip sunscreen and use only moisturizer for sun protection. Sunscreen is more effective in blocking out damaging UV rays and preventing skin damage. Moisturizers can provide some protection against the sun, but it is not enough. Make sure to use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 before going out in the sun.
