Listen, I understand the appeal of having moisturiser with SPF in it, it sure is a convenient thought having a one-step routine in the morning.
However, when it comes to sun protection in Australia it is vital that we place this life saving step above all else and finish our regime with a broad-spectrum SPF.
It’s also vital that SPF has a minimum sun protection factor of 30 and is reapplied every 2 hours. Let’s be honest who wants to re-apply a moisturiser every 2 hours in their day?
Moisturisers are for hydrating and nourishing the skin and sunblock and sunscreen is for protecting the skin from UVA and UVB rays. They should not be combined and used as your go-to SPF as the extra ingredients within a moisturiser can dilute the SPF.
A dedicated SPF of 30 or 50 that is formulated for re-application either over the top of makeup or easy to use in the day offers far greater chances of sun protection, not to mention re-application as our moisturisers generally stay in the bathroom and aren’t a product we carry around with us.
This is why our Mineral Pro 30 comes in an oil free, lightweight formulation, tinted and untinted with the Mineral Pro 50 being a richer, oil based BB like cream, also in tinted and untinted. They are easily applied, loved by the skin and sit effortlessly on top of your hydrator. 🫶🏼🧡👏🏼
