Suncare

Is it advisable to use sun cream everyday even if there is no Sun? Also, some moisturisers have added sun protection, so is this adequate? And what is the best factor to use for the face. Thank you

Re: Suncare

Hi there,
It is advisable to use sunscreen daily as even on a cloudy day, UVA and UVB can still come through and cause sun damage.
Most cosmetics will contain SPF15 so some protection is better than none in my view.
Minimum SPF that I recommend is SPF 30 regularly and often depending upon activity and skin type of the individual.
Hope that helps!
