YOGYAKARTA Each type of skincare, is made based on different working methods. Such as moisturizers and sunscreens, both of which have different functions and ways of working. However, nowadays there are a lot of moisturizers or moisturizers with SPF content. So, which one is better, use a moisturizer without sunscreen or use sunscreen without a moisturizer?
Quoting Ulli Haslacher's explanation reported by Byrdie, Wednesday, November 30, sunscreen or skincare is not a maintenance material but is very important for skin protection, especially facial skin. Sunscreen must be last applied before makeup. According to the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), sunscreen is regulated as a drug so it requires a certain level of SPF to be effective. The sunscreen also needs to be reused every 90 minutes exposed to the sun.
Through a brief explanation of the function and how the sunscreen works above, it means that moisturizers are still needed to be applied to the face. Why? Because moisturizers function to lock natural moisture, without it the skin can dry and dull.
The moisturizer works by penetrating the skin and passing through the top layer. Even if the moisturizer contains an SPF, for example 10-15, it is still necessary to use sunscreen so that the protection against UV exposure is more optimal. First, you need to apply a moisturizer, with or without an SPF. Then, apply sunscreen with SPF 30 or more every morning at least 15 minutes before exposure to the sun.
Experts recommend that moisturizers and sunscreens must be separated. No moisturizer can really protect the skin from exposure to the sun even though it contains SPF. On the other hand, wearing sunscreen without a moisturizer cannot lock the skin moisture. As a result, the skin is dry and no longer glowing. Most optimally, apply moisturizer before the mineral sunscreen.
In addition, the bad effects of not wearing a moisturizer, among others, making skin wrinkles, making flaky makeup, can even make acne worse. Well, if you like the appearance of a flawless, wearing a moisturizer is also important. Because for powdering, moisturizers including the primary must be used before applying all makeup. However, before wearing makeup, don't miss sunscreen to protect the skin from UV exposure.
