Daytime Moisturizers On Rotation
☀️These do not have SPF (except for one). I always wear a SEPARATE sunscreen that is intended as a sunscreen (stronger protection).
☀️My sun protection never comes from just a moisturizer or primer with SPF (the amount of sun protection is usually inadequate unless I am indoors all day).
☀️I apply the moisturizer first. Wait a few minutes for it to fully absorb. Then apply sunscreen over it.
☀️Sometimes I will use a SPF moisturizer with Sunscreen over it. Nothing wrong with that. It just depends on how well they absorb and layer together.
☀️It’s a trickier combination because sunscreen ingredients often make a product more sticky and shiny.
Left to Right, Top to Bottom:
MAD Skincare Illuminating Daily Moisturizer – love this
Dermalogica Skin Smoothing Cream
AMG Naturally Moringa Infused Daily Moisturizer Cream
DNAEGF Skincare DNA Intensive Renewal Lotion – love this for summer (lightweight, absorbs well)
PCA Skin C+E Strength Max (20% L-ascorbic + 5% Vit E) – only on lines and NLF’s. This is a silicone-based cream. I personally don’t like silicone textures but tolerate it when I want L-absorbic acid in a high concentration. The silicone base keeps it stable from oxidation. Avoid L-absorbic if it’s in water-based formula (i.e. watery or very liquid texture.) This cream also pills with many products.
A.H.C. Whitening Cream – has SPF but is so light it doesn’t feel like a sunscreen
Circadia White Veil Brightener
Circadia Revito-Cyte Complex
Shiseido Benefiance WrinkleResist24 Emulsion – the simple basic that’s always on standby – for hydration touch-ups during the day or when skin is sensitized
