Blemish treatments that double as color correctors, cheek tints blended with skin-brightening niacinamide, bronzers infused with peptides: Skin-care-and-makeup hybrids are so hot right now.Although cosmetics that purport to protect as well as prettify your complexion seem great, we don’t recommend forgoing regular sunscreen and relying only on SPF makeup to keep you covered.The American Academy of Dermatology doesn’t recommend it, either. As AAD president Susan Taylor, MD, told us in an email, “Some moisturizers and makeup products have SPF, which is beneficial, but if you’re spending time outside, you need to use a separate, broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher and reapply sunscreen about every two hours.”The problem is simple: The amount of SPF foundation or other SPF makeup that you would need to achieve sufficient protection from UVA and UVB rays is likely more than you would ever want to apply for aesthetic purposes.Instead, your best sun-protection strategy is to administer a full application of your preferred face sunscreen — and allow it to fully set — before applying any foundation, powder, and so on.
