I get a lot of questions about why I haven't included sun protection in Face It creams yet. The answer is simple. Sun protection changes the consistency and absorbency of skincare products. It is obviously a necessity, especially in the protection of skin from the aging process, but I think it should be kept separate from your moisturizer. Think of a two in one for your hair - shampoo plus conditioner is never as good as separately using a shampoo and conditioner.
There are two good places for sunblock - in your makeup or in a weightless sun-protection-only formula. Check whether or not your usual powder or foundation contains protection. If not, I would recommend my favorite sunblock: La Roche Posay Anthelios XL 50+ Fluide Extreme. We call it liquid t-shirt - it's that good.
Also remember that even if you are using a high SPF you have to make sure you are putting enough on. If not, the SPF is only as strong as the square root of the number you are using.
