Q As I’ve had skin cancer, my daughter is considered high risk. Should she use moisturiser with SPF?
Sandie, East Wellow
A I wouldn’t recommend she use a moisturiser with SPF because they provide varying levels of protection, and you need to be sure she’s completely covered. The safest thing is to use a sunscreen over a moisturiser – and then to re-apply frequently.
Liz Earle does something called Sun Shade SPF25 Face Protector (from £5, www.lizearle.com). Suitable for all the family, it is a moisturising mineral sun cream that reflects rather than absorbs the sun’s rays to give broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection.
Alternatively, Dr Hauschka, another leading brand of natural skincare, has a product designed specifically for children: Sunscreen Cream Children SPF30 (£22, www.drhauschka.co.uk). Effective immediately after application, it also contains macadamia nut oil, which protects the skin from drying out.
Other options include Boots’ Soltan SPF50 Moisturising Lotion (£12.99) and Nivea Sun SPF 40 Protection Spray (£11.99), which are both formulated specifically for youngsters.
