The importance of moisturizer and sun block (SPF)

 I cannot stress enough on how important Moisturizer and Sun block is. To the point it should be something your face is covered in, even if you are staying the day at home..... if light comes in SPF GOES ON.

One of the biggest misconceptions about sun block (SPF) is that it protects your skin from getting darker which I am sorry to say is that it most certainly does not. Sun block SPF protects your skin from harmful sun rays, sun can lead to pre aging and can lead to horrible pigmentation, meaning your skin will have a darker colored marks and will not have an even tone and you will age way before time and look a zillion years older, which does take forever to happen but when it does there is no turning back at all.

I my self hate the texture of sun block, its normally thick, does not feel nice and makes your face look and feel oily, so if that’s not your cup of tea…. You have options!

1)      Buy a moisturizer which has SPF in it (NOTHING LESS THEN 30)

2)      Invest in a Primer, they are a lot of primers in the market which act as a moisturizer and also have SPF in them, that takes two main steps away from what should be your daily skin care routine.

3)      Or just get a sun block

Facts

Your face, neck and hands are most prone to dryness and premature aging if not given enough hydrating moisturizer and not protected well enough from the sun… 

dry skin types age faster then oily and combination skin types.. the natural oil of your face keeps your skin hydrated so do not take drastic measures to block your pores to keep the oil out.

The Bobby Brown and Laura mercier ones will be on the expensive side but are just amazing, (Bobby Brown is abit oily though, so if you have dry skin would be ideal and for days you dont plan on being in the sun).

But a great affordable option is the neutrogena one, used and tested and very good! iv have been using neutrogena  for ages as daily wear and absolutly love it.
