If your facial moisturiser doesn't have an SPF?

[Shufflebumnessie]

I'm about to try a new facial moisturiser but realised it doesn't have an SPF. Those of you who use a moisturiser without SPF, do you just apply a facial suncream under your moisturiser or is there something else I should be considering? Thanks

SPF over your moisturiser.
Even if the moisturiser contains sunscreen.
TBH with the right sunscreen you don't need moisturiser.

No I think daily spf is the emperors new clothes tbh. It’s kinda drying and leaves a layer that doesn’t sit well with makeup. Plus it really stings my eyes if you rub your face accidentally. Obviously I wear proper sunscreen in the actual sun.

I use child’s F50 suncream which isn’t oily and is extra sensitive so doesn’t sting, plus loads cheaper than facial moisturiser with SPF

no need for extra moisturiser

I don’t use SPF, unless I’m abroad, as it gives me spots.
I just stay out of the sun.

I live in the UK I think SPF in foundation is totally unnecessary. Most people here will struggle to get enough vitamin D, never mind get sunburnt.

Altruist Facial Fluid (SPF 50) is great. Works well on its own although I use it with a light moisturiser (Amil C Whip from Facetheory) as it gives me better results over the course of the day for both hydration and oil control. However I use SPF because I get hyperpigmentation so it feels important to me regardless of the weather!

I think if you want SPF, a dedicated product is better than a combo like with moisturiser or make up as then you can usually find out the PPF/Boots star rating etc according to what you need.

Yep as others have said, I don’t bother day to day. If I’m going to be outside a lot on a sunny day I’ll use a facial sunscreen instead.

I used to use an Oil of Ulay moisturiser with SPF, but they stopped producing it.

spf is definitely needed everyday, even if it isn’t sunny, your skin will thank you later on.

I love the corsx or hello farmer ones, both quite moisturising and Leave no whiteness.

I use one with an sPf in summer and one without in winter to max the vitamin D

I choose not to use SPF in addition to moisturizer. For my skin, I don't get sufficient sun normally, so don't want to limit what I do get.

I eschew the moisturiser and just use spf 50 all year around.

Trying to get sufficient vit d in this hemispheres pretty pointless anyway. You’ll run low oct-March anyway if you don’t supplement.

I use SPF daily on my face. Yes I'm vitamin d deficient but I can't expose myself enough to get it as I burn v v quickly and winter is useless for vitamin d anyway
I just take a vitamin d supplement

I use moisturiser then a sunscreen

I don't use it either - I'm indoors most of the time anyway and really don't need it. I don't actually know whether my moisturiser has an SPF, since I'm usually juggling three or so at a time out of my stash

All those who don't use a sunscreen do you never use any kind of peeling/acid/retinol type products? I do and am too scared to go out without SPF in case my face melts or something 😂

La Roche Posay does a great spf liquid that doesn't sting or leave your face greasy - sinks straight in. Use it over moisturiser.

Only use separate SPF in the summer/sunny days or if using retinol. Recently have been using Bioré's UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence Sunscreen on top of moisturiser - it's thin and doesn't leave any stickiness.

I’ll be one of the peelywallees who burns in the uk I use a clarins spf 50 over my moisturiser in all but winter. I get melasma too and the tiniest bit of spring sunshine sets it off.

@SockFluffInTheBath
I snorted at struggle to get burnt. I manage to get burnt at 10.30am here yet still deficient in vitamin d (it's because I work in a building from 8-6 and don't see daylight a lot!)
I can spend around 10 mins outside without SPF in summer or I start burning pale blue

Number one cause of skin aging is sun exposure . Even if you don’t sunbathe . Definitely use an spf if you can remember .

I do yes, but when I'm sitting indoors all day bar maybe a dash to the Post Office/Tesco that might mean me being outside for three or four minutes and 90% of that in the shade, I'll take my chances.

In summer I use Factor 40 or 50, but even then only when I'm going to be outside for more than ten minutes or so .

SPF after moisturiser. It’s not about burning it’s about protecting from UV light. Factor 50, there are a million available to suit all skin types. If you think it’s too greasy or causing break outs or a white cast you haven’t found the right one.

I object to not being able to buy a moisturiser without sunscreen. I wear one when I need it, but for the small amount of time I spend outdoors in winter, I want the full benefit of every ray.

You really don’t need an SPF everyday in the UK, we need Vitamin D and in the middle of winter it’s very hard to get enough, so leave off the SPF. It’s just spouted by cosmetic companies to make you buy yet another product.
