Common conclusions

You can use sunscreen as a moisturizer only if you use a sunscreen that contains a good amount of humectants and emollients. That is because these sunscreens are lightweight, non-greasy, hydrate well, moisturize well and still protect against the harmful rays of the sun. Alternatively, you can layer a lightweight moisturizer and a lightweight sunscreen on your skin.

If you have dry skin you should use a sunscreen that is hydrating instead of moisturizer. When purchasing sunscreen you need to make sure you get a good quality broad-spectrum sunscreen and the sunscreen needs to be SPF 30 or higher. You should definitely try the Aveeno Protect plus Hydrate Face Sunscreen Lotion. This sunscreen nourishes the skin and it aborts into your skin quickly and easily, it is a broad-spectrum sunscreen protecting you from both UVA and UVB rays of the sun.

If you have fine lines and wrinkles then you should definitely use a sunscreen which can protect your skin against the visible signs of premature aging. Using sunscreen can help protect against the harmful effects of premature aging or skin aging. You should start wearing sunscreen every day and if you do not do so you are going to accumulate damage in the skin, which can lead to developing cancerous skin lesions later in life. You could try Avène Mineral Sunscreen Fluid SPF 50+, Neutrogena Hydro Boost City Shield Water Gel Sunscreen SPF 25, CeraVe Hydrating Face Sunscreen SPF 50 or Shiseido Urban Environment Oil-Free UV Protector SPF 42 because they are all good for your skin.
