Moisturizing Sunscreen

Safe to moisturize at night if it has sunscreen in it?

I've just bought a clean and clear moisturizer that has spf15 sunblock in it and it says its fine to use at night, just seems weird to be using something with sunblock in it when I sleep, should I use something specifically used for nighttime?

No, you shouldn't use it unless you use a LOT of it...

Sunscreen Can Damage Skin if Applied Infrequently

When used properly, sunscreens are proven to prevent skin damage. But if not applied often enough, a sunscreen can actually enhance skin damage, according to a new study.

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun is absorbed by skin molecules and generates reactive oxygen species, or ROS molecules, which cause visible signs of aging by damaging cell walls and the DNA inside them. Too much sun, especially in childhood, increases the risk of skin cancer.

Sunscreens contain UV filters that block radiation from penetrating below the outer skin later, called the epidermis.

But over time, the filters themselves penetrate deeper into the skin, allowing more UV radiation in.

Then things get worse.

In the new study, scientists found that three widely used, FDA-approved UV filters (octylmethoxycinnamate, benzophenone-3 and octocrylene) actually generate ROS in skin when exposed to ultraviolet radiation. So the sun's damaging effect is multiplied when the sunscreen has been on too long. [Graphic]

"Sunscreens do an excellent job protecting against sunburn when used correctly," said chemist Kerry Hanson of the University of California, Riverside. "This means using a sunscreen with a high sun protection factor [SPF] and applying it uniformly on the skin. Our data show, however, that if coverage at the skin surface is low, the UV filters in sunscreens that have penetrated into the epidermis can potentially do more harm than good."

Hanson and colleagues applied sunscreen to model skin tissue and imaged its travels into deeper layers and the effects.

"More advanced sunscreens that ensure that the UV-filters stay on the skin surface are needed," Hanson said.

Also, the researchers note that while most sunscreens block one wavelength-band of ultraviolet radiation, called UVB, few block the deeper-penetrating UVA. The federal government just approved in July a UVA blocker for use in the United States.

Meanwhile, the scientists have passed along the advice of the Skin Cancer Foundation, which recommends reapplying sunscreen every two hours, and especially after sweating or swimming.

The study, announced today and funded by the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health, will be detailed in the journal Free Radical Biology & Medicine.

Skin Care - Skin Moisturizer Tips

Moisturizing is essential to make your skin soft, smooth and glowing. Like our body, our skin also needs hydration and proper nutrients to keep it healthy. So, treat it with a good moisturizer. Your skin needs more moisturizer if it is feeling tight. But remember not to over moisturize as it can cause pore-clogging. Regular use of a moisturizer can help prevent the dry skin that is common in winter. It provides longer wear for make up.

Only use a moisturizer where you need it. You cannot hydrate skin properly using topical applications alone - you have to drink plenty of water. Remember to always use a sunscreen during the day on the top of the moisturizer. This will protect the skin from pollution, sun damage and dehydration.

While dryness and peeling on the face becomes apparent immediately, dry skin on other parts of the body may not be so obvious. One thing women should watch out for is dry skin on the undersides of the breasts. Friction caused by bras and the onset of the winter weather makes the skin more susceptible to peeling and dryness.

Using a 1% OTC hydrocortisone ointment on your lips when they start to crack during the winter will speed the healing process.

When cleansing dehydrated skin you will want to use a milky cleanser. Milky cleansers are extra-gentle, healing and protect skin that is aggravated by environment or climate. To relieve skin of its ashy appearance, use an exfoliant with small granules after cleansing twice a week. The granules will be more aggressive in removing the dry cells that coat the skin.

Moisturize at least twice daily. This can help repair sun damage and slow wrinkling.

Look for moisturizers that contain cell-repairing compounds that have or include vitamin-A.

Apply a body moisturizing cream twice daily during the fall and winter to keep your skin hydrated and healthy.

There is no better time to moisturize than immediately after your bath or shower. Treat yourself to a warm (not hot) bath infused with our moisturising bath and massage oil. While your skin is still plump and hydrated, smooth on moisturizing lotion or a rich body cream – and finish off with a light dusting of body powder to help seal in moisture.

Do not over-indulge in sunbathing. Excessive exposure to sun rays can cause dry skin, wrinkles and skin cancer. All areas that are exposed to the sun, such as the face, ears, hands, and back of the neck should have a moisturizer containing sun block or a sunscreen of SPF 15 or greater applied daily. As much as possible, stay out of the sun. The sun is responsible for most of the damage done to the skin. It causes dryness, wrinkles, and even rashes and blisters. Always apply a good sunscreen to all exposed areas of skin if you must be in the sun.

The best way to moisturize your skin is to apply a think layer of lotion or cream to the surface of your skin in an upward motion. This will help work the moisturizer into your skin, and it will also help to reduce sagging. You should read the directions for the products that you use to figure out how much to use and how to apply it properly.
