QUESTION: Why do the most expensive skin creams often lack sunscreen, and how can I ensure my skin stays protected?
ANSWER: "This comes down to cream texture. Luxury formulas avoid thick, ointment-like feels, opting for lightweight ones that absorb fast. They're enriched with powder particles and polymers for an instant radiant look and silky softness.
A sunscreen filter (SPF) can compromise that elegant texture, so brands like Lancôme use innovative alternatives, such as light-reflecting particles, to extra-protect the skin from UV rays.
Of course, layer on a foundation with genuine SPF for complete coverage."
