I really do. Prevention is boring.<br>So imagine my delight when new research proved that sunscreen could reverse sun damage, not just prevent it \u2013 my clients have no excuse now! There is a catch, though. It has to be worn every single day for at least a year. Come rain or shine.<br>My clients are impatient, however, and want results now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are moisturisers obsolete?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is another catch. Most sunscreens use chemical filters to absorb and neutralise UVA rays before they can damage your skin.<br>To be effective, these chemical sunscreens need to touch the skin; moisturisers dilute them. Sunscreens are often hydrating, but clients are reluctant to give up their expensive anti-aging creams and think their skin will wrinkle and sag overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:39px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read more<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/charlottewilkesbeautywriter.com\/blog\/ten-years-younger-in-ten-days-controversial-makeover-show-gets-a-makeover\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"23\">Ten Years Younger in Ten Days: Controversial makeover show gets a makeover<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/charlottewilkesbeautywriter.com\/blog\/teoxane-3d-lip-review\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"21\">Teoxane 3D Lip Review<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/charlottewilkesbeautywriter.com\/blog\/review-of-cetaphil-daily-facial-cleanser\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"276\">Review of Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/charlottewilkesbeautywriter.com\/blog\/rosacea-ten-tips-on-how-to-live-with-it\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"258\">Rosacea: Ten tips on how to live with it<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2018But my moisturiser has an SPF in it.\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Moisturisers with SPFs aren\u2019t regulated like sunscreens. They rarely contain sufficient UVA protection because it changes the texture of a cream, and beauty brands know that customers are easily swayed by texture and scent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that SPFs degrade quickly in the daylight and might not be still be working when you nip out on your lunch hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In reality, only the most advanced sunscreens cover the full range of UVA rays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wrinklesandcream.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Heliocare360texture-e1593782424145.jpg\" alt=\"Texture of Heliocare 360 mineral fluid spf 50\" class=\"wp-image-874\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Physical vs chemical sunscreens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is one other option for my sunscreen phobic clients. Physical\/mineral sunscreens form a barrier which reflects UVA away from the skin before it can do any damage &#8211; so you can apply it on top of your favourite moisturiser.<br>There is a catch, however. Physical sunscreens rub off very easily, so be careful when applying make-up on top or touching the skin.<br>I am obsessive: I use a layer of chemical sunscreen, wait 10 mins, and then a layer of a physical one to make sure no UVA gets through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read More:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"239\" href=\"https:\/\/charlottewilkesbeautywriter.com\/blog\/nine-causes-of-adult-acne\/\">Nine causes of adult acne<\/a><\/li><li><a data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"263\" href=\"https:\/\/charlottewilkesbeautywriter.com\/blog\/winter-skin-how-to-protect-your-skin-over-the-winter\/\">How to Protect your skin over winter<\/a><\/li><li><a data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"266\" href=\"https:\/\/charlottewilkesbeautywriter.com\/blog\/low-ph-cleanser-review-neostrata-facial-cleanser\/\">Neostrata Facial Cleanser \u2013 Review<\/a><\/li><li><a data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"162\" href=\"https:\/\/charlottewilkesbeautywriter.com\/blog\/can-cbd-supplements-de-stress-your-skin\/\">Can CBD oil de-stress your skin?<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Heliocare 360 mineral fluid sunscreen SPF 50<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I trust&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.heliocare.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Heliocare<\/a>&nbsp;and have been using their<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.heliocare.net\/eng\/heliocare-360-fluid-cream.html\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&nbsp;sunscreens<\/a>&nbsp;for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This impressive physical sunscreen contains 2% zinc oxide and protects against the whole range of UVA rays (I always recommend at least 10%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, many companies shy away from this expensive ingredient, relying more on titanium dioxide, which only protects against short wave UVA rays.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My client Kelly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I have been nagging one of my clients to protect her English rose complexion for ages.
