Reasons to steer clear of moisturizers with sunscreen
Khloé Kardashian Stuns in NSFW Dress At Kylie Jenner’s New Cocktail Event Launch
Lilia Serobian is pushing back on a popular skincare trend.
The aesthetic nurse—who is working with Khloe Kardashian to treat her melanoma scarring—shared why she’s not a fan of using moisturizers that double as a sunscreen.
“Sunscreen, no matter what, is the No. 1 needed product for everybody,” Lilia exclusively told E! News. “Of course, moisturizer is important, too. But I actually like to use them separately because moisturizer with sunscreen is good on a daily basis if you want to do it. But in general, it is better to do separate.”
As for what makes a moisturizer-sunscreen combo less effective? The 7QSpa co-founder explained that it’s because “the ingredients level can be a little bit lighter in moisturizers with sunscreen.”
“Of course, it’s good for people to use any [SPF],” Lilia noted, “but for long-term to be outside, it won’t be enough of a protected layer. So, sunscreen to have separate is always better.”
