In two prior posts I listed the Best Eye Moisturizers and Best Face Serums according to Paula Begoun (read her full reviews in her book Don’t Go To the Cosmetics Counter Without Me, 7th Edition by Paula Begoun and Bryan Barron [Publisher: Beginning Press] [www.cosmeticscop.com]).
In Paula’s book and website, she says that “many, if not most, of the changes that take place on our skin over the years, such as wrinkles, skin discolorations, loss of elasticity, texture problems, and dryness, are the result of sun damage from exposure to the sun without appropriate or adequate sun protection. Sunscreens are essential for skin care day in and day out, 365 days a year. If applied correctly (meaning liberally and reapplied as often as needed), they are the only true antiwrinkle product!!
Really, all of the antiwrinkle, firming, anti-aging, or rejuvenating products in the world are completely and totally useless if you are not protecting your skin from the sun every day. It is of vital importance to the health of your skin to include a well-formulated sunscreen in your daily skin-care routine. Arguably, the most unethical thing the cosmetics industry does is sell women a plethora of antiwrinkle products that more often than not do not include reliable sun protection.
Selecting a daytime moisturizer with sunscreen or “regular” sunscreen without antioxidants isn’t giving your skin as much of a fighting chance against the cascade of damage that sun exposure can cause (and that can be dramatically minimized with diligent, liberal application and, when needed, reapplication, of sunscreen rated SPF 15 or greater).”
Here are the BEST Facial Moisturizers Without Sunscreens according to Paula:
What makes these the “BEST”. According to Paula, these are products that exceed expectations and goes beyond the criteria for a product in its category with minimal to no concerns including non irritating formulas or fragrances and does not boast outlandish claims of what the product will do.
