What is a Moisturiser with SPF?

A face moisturiser with SPF is exactly what it sounds like - a moisturiser and SPF in one, designed to cut down time and hassle while getting ready for the day.

Wearing SPF on your face every day is every skincare expert’s top tip to looking younger and fresher. This is because the sun causes inflammation that damages the structure of our skin. Wearing an SPF can not only prevent premature aging, but actually works to decrease the appearance of pigmentation and wrinkles and improve texture, as well as reduce risks of developing skin cancer.

Why should I use a moisturiser and SPF in one?

Using an SPF moisturiser in Australia ensures you never leave the house without sun protection. It saves you time and provides peace of mind that you’re always taking care of your skin, no matter how quickly you rush out the door.

Is SPF Moisturiser the same as sunscreen?

Like sunscreen, SPF moisturiser protects our skin from damaging UVA and UVB rays, which causes skin damage and premature aging. Rather than using a separate sunscreen at the end of your skincare routine, using a daily moisturiser with SPF from Lancôme Australia provides luxurious hydration in a non-sticky, lightweight formula. SPF moisturisers are also designed to save you time in the mornings, not only skipping a step in your skincare routine, but ridding you of the extra time it takes for a thick sunscreen to sink in before putting on makeup.

Should I use a moisturiser with SPF all year round?

Short answer, yes. Even if it doesn’t look like the sun is shining, harmful UVA and UVB rays can be penetrating your skin. In fact, even if you’re sitting inside all day, these rays can still be damaging your skin through the window. For the best anti-aging protection, a daily moisturiser with SPF should be used all year round.
