Why Daily SPF and Moisturizing?

SPF Daily for Your Health & Youthful Appearance

by Ashley Parker

In the summer virtually, everyone gets a bottle of sunscreen for a long day outside whether it be at a beach, lake or pool etc.  It’s important to protect your skin from UV rays.  However, applying sunscreen should not be restricted to the summer.  The need for shielding your skin from the sun is a necessity all year round.  In addition, it’s important to moisturize your skin on a daily basis.

Because of the need to moisturize and protect from the sun on a daily basis, the popularity of products that meet multiple needs has skyrocketed.

With so many products on the market today, it’s hard to know which to buy and how they can benefit us. That’s why we created this article with tips on what to look for and avoid when selecting a daily moisturizer/SPF.

One of the markets top moisturizers is Solar RX Moisturizer SPF due to its UVA-UVB protection minimizing the chemical burden on the skin. In addition, its lack of additives such as biocides and paraben which kill the microbiome of the skin causing disorders that are chemically driven.

UVA-UVB SPF Protection

The sunlight that reaches has two parts to its rays.  These two parts of rays are made up from UVA and UVB rays.

UVA rays penetrate deep into the dermis of the skin, which is the skins thickest layer. The dermis, if unprotected, can lead to premature skin aging and wrinkling, even suppression of the immune system.

UVB rays typically burn the superficial layers of your skin.  This plays a key role in the development of cancer.  The intensity of UVB rays can vary depending on the season of the year.  With that said it’s important to wear a moisturizer SPF that block both UVA and UVB rays. Remember that sunburn skin does not just feel awful, it can cause permanent damage to your skin.

Avoid SPF Products with Parabens

Most often products can contain parabens. Parabens are often used in products as preservatives. Parabens have been used since the 50’s and are often used in beauty products.  Some of the most commonly found are lotions, lipstick, shampoos, deodorants and more.

Some studies have shown that parabens can mimic the activity of the hormone estrogen, parabens have been found present in breast cancer tumors.  Parabens are additives that kill the microbiome of the skin and can lead to disorders that are chemically driven.  Solar RX does not contain parabens!

Zinc Oxide for SPF

Solar RX contains uncoated zinc oxide.  Let’s talk about just a few benefits from zinc oxide.

• Helps lower skin inflammation caused by allergies, irritation, and rashes
• Keeps moisture locked into dry skin
• Treats pigment disorders
• Provides broad-spectrum sun protection that prevents burns
• Helps prevent aging of the skin.

Why Use a Moisturizer with an SPF in it?

Why would anyone buy a moisturizer that has SPF in it?  The list of benefits goes on, but the short answer would be to save time and money.  Buying an SPF and moisturizer separately can be costly.  Add in the fact that you have to apply them separately, it’s a no-brainer.
