The main function of any sunscreen is to help protect your skin from potential damage caused by sun exposure. For this reason, daily protection against the sun’s harmful UVA and UVB rays is a must-have step in any skincare routine. A broad-spectrum sunscreen formula works by either creating a barrier on the skin’s surface to reflect UV rays using ingredients like zinc oxide (known as “mineral” or “physical sunscreen”), or absorbing UV radiation with chemical-based ingredients (known as “chemical sunscreen”). Whereas some sunscreens can feel heavy and greasy on your skin, CeraVe’s moisturizers with SPF are formulated to feature a lightweight and non-greasy texture, and are non-comedogenic—meaning they don’t have the potential to clog your pores. If you’re familiar with sunscreen filters, you’ll realise that aside from Avobenzone, the rest are some new-generation chemical filters primarily available in Europe and Asia. Moisturizer and sunscreen are two essential steps in any skincare routine for healthy-looking skin. To help keep things simple, you can use a facial moisturizer that includes broad-spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen, like our AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion. Facial moisturizers with sunscreen allow you to hydrate your skin and help protect it from the sun’s rays in one convenient step. However, sunscreens must be reapplied at least every two hours for sunscreen protection. SPF, or ' sun protection factor' measures the amount of time a product will protect you from the sun's UV rays. So, obviously, the higher the SPF, the more effective it'll be. The ingredients within a product containing SPF work to shield your skin from the sun, creating a barrier cream and protecting your skin barrier from damage. That's why it's so important to wear SPF. What is broad-spectrum SPF? One way to help combat concerns of roughness is by choosing gentle moisturisers with beneficial ingredients like ceramides and niacinamide. CeraVe’s AM and PM Facial Moisturisers include both, making either one a great option for supporting soft, comfortable-feeling skin. If you have additional questions about ingrown hairs or other specific concerns, consult with a healthcare professional 6. Look for a minimum of SPF 30 in your daytime moisturiser

A moisturizer with SPF offers both hydration and sun protection in just one step. Since these are two important aspects of maintaining healthy-looking skin for all skin types, these moisturizing products make convenient and effective skincare options. The inclusion of SPF is especially important because of its ability to help protect your skin from the sun’s rays. This, in turn, can help prevent or minimize the damage that may lead to visible signs of early skin aging—such as dark spots, fine lines, and wrinkles—as well as skin cancer. Dermatologists recommend a minimum of SPF 15 when working indoors and on overcast days, and SPF 30 at all other times. What else should I look for in an SPF moisturiser? When I said that this sunscreen formula felt familiar, I meant that this resulted from the staple ingredients across most Cerave products. As always, you’ll find; ACTIVE INGREDIENTS: HOMOSALATE (10%), MERADIMATE (5%), OCTINOXATE (5%), OCTOCRYLENE (2%), ZINC OXIDE (6.3%)

How Often Should I Reapply Sunscreen to My Face?

On the other hand, you can completely skip your moisturiser and use this product as a two-in-one, and your skin will be adequately moisturised. Now, let’s get into the sunscreen filters. It’s not perfect, but it’s a great attempt, especially for the numerous people struggling to find sunscreen their skin will like. Any product with added SPF, including face creams, foundations or sunscreen all work in the same way. Without getting too technical, they include specific ingredients that sit on the surface of the skin and reflect UV rays. That way, your skin doesn't absorb the damage. Depending on the ingredients and the factor, moisturisers with SPF can be an effective way to protect you from skin damage.

Apply CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion liberally 15 minutes before heading outdoors. This is the approximate amount of time it takes for your skin to fully absorb the sunscreen ingredients and begin providing protection from the sun’s damaging rays. For someone like me with dry, dehydrated skin, my skin absolutely loves how emollient this sunscreen is. Even though men’s skin may produce more oil, it still requires plenty of hydration to look (and feel) its best. In fact, when your skin becomes too dry, it may actually trigger increased oiliness and shine as a result. That’s why using a moisturiser twice daily is so essential, even if your skin is prone to excess oiliness. Remember to look for men’s moisturisers that are lightweight, and non-comedogenic. 4.
