With so many products on the market, you can sometimes doubt which is more efficient: do you use a moisturizer with a protection factor or just a sunscreen?
Today, with the information available, it is difficult to find someone who does not know the importance of applying sunscreen every day. But that does not mean that almost everyone always uses the product. Despite all the information, the number of people who forget to apply sunscreen daily is very large . According to a survey published by the Society of Dermatology, the average number of people who do not protect themselves is 70% – a lot of people, right?
Excuses for not using the shield are: lack of time and money, laziness and excess cosmetics that must be used . Therefore, the cosmetic industries have developed “2 in 1” products: moisturizers and sunscreens combined in one product.
But do they really protect the skin?
According to the latest polls, yes! Moisturizing creams that also have a filter in their formulas are good and work very well, especially for day to day and if they have enough SPF. Of course, if you go to the beach or do a sport with great exposure to the sun, the ideal is sunscreen .
So if you had this doubt, you can choose without fear a moisturizer with SPF.
Another important issue to take into account is our long-term health, think that cosmetics are ingredients that our skin is absorbing, many are good … but there are many others that are not good for our skin to absorb.
On the one hand we have the formulations, the European health agency allows a maximum% of each ingredient such as preservatives, alcohols, ceramides, etc. in each formulation. This implies that if we have previously applied some more cosmetic products to the sunscreen such as a moisturizer, serum, eye contour or anti-wrinkle, we suffer what is called the “ Combined Effect” .
What does this mean? Very simple, if our skin throughout the day should only absorb 0.5% of some type of alcohol (they are generally preservatives), because if it absorbs more it would dry out, by using 3 products it will surely absorb much more, which is HARMFUL for our skin and our body.
In the end, the most commercial brands unfortunately reach the limit in their formulations at the level of preservatives so that their product manufactures last as long as possible and continue to sell the same manufacture for years, this is bad for our skin, because an excess of these ingredients They can involve long-term eczema, dermatitis to active hormonal changes (including cancers).
Why is it not avoided? Because you cannot, each person uses different brands of cosmetics and products, it is impossible to regulate the combination of all.
That is why it is important to look for products that have a closed expiration date, not the drawing of the open tin, but closed, the European Union, obliges manufacturers to put it as long as the product expires before 30 months.
In short, if you care about your health, in addition to applying a sunscreen, you should look for something more natural, with a closed expiration date. In the following products that I show you, I have only found one, but you will see it now.

Moisturizing creams with SPF
Nezeni Cosmetics Face Sun Cream High Protection UVA / UVB SPF 50+. Cream with LOW AMOUNT OF PRESERVATIVES
This Spanish laboratory has the premise of using the minimum possible preservatives , so much so that they have manufactured a set of products that among the 4 they have, the maximum allowed by the EU is not exceeded in just one.
In addition, among the ingredients we find aloe vera, vitamin E and glycerin that are usually used in moisturizing creams, it is important to take this into account, and together with the SPF50 +, we achieve perfect UVA / UVB protection.
I have been using it since I discovered the combined effect and it also does not leave my skin oily and has a very pleasant smell. Although being SPF50 +, it leaves the skin a little whitish at first, but it absorbs very quickly.
The downside is that you can only buy online at nezeni.com
