Hi Calsmam
I'm not sure from your question if you're intending to use the SPF moisturiser instead of or as well as sunscreen.
I don't use use an SPF moisturiser on the exposed parts of my body but just use a sunscreen. I'm sure I read that to be effective as a sunscreen you'd have to put so much moisturiser on you probably couldn't get it to absorb.

Hi latchbrook and thanks for your reply. I intend to use sunscreen but as I use a moisturiser every day I wanted to get one with spf so I’m covered in case there’s a change in the weather while out. I think I’m just over thinking it.
so do you just wear a sunscreen all the time when the weathers brighter?
I wear a sunscreen with SPF50 on all exposed areas of my skin, ie face, back of hands during the months of April to October inclusive in the UK. If it's particularly sunny in March and November I'll also apply sunscreen then as well.
Thank you I will do as you suggest I’ve just been getting myself into a tizz about it.
Thanks again x
Hi Calsman….it was my biggest tizz last year and I was so so glad of this forum to give me a better perspective….I now follow Latchbrook advice….at the time I though I didn’t dare do without my F50…but have felt comfortable over the Winter months with just my normal moisturiser….I do wear a f15 foundation but that’s something I have always done…wear it with a f50 under in March to Oct….x
