Did you know that your skin is also exposed to UV radiation on cloudy days? However, that does not mean that you have to apply sunscreen every day. Protection against UV is especially important on days with a sun strength of 3 or higher. That is more often than you think, also in spring and autumn.
So can you use sunscreen as a day cream? Absolutely. We explain why a good mineral SPF cream is a valuable addition to your routine.
First sunscreen or day cream? This is the correct order
A frequently asked question: should you apply sunscreen or day cream first?
With mineral sunscreen it is important to apply this as the last step. Mineral filters such as zinc oxide act as a physical barrier on the skin.
💡 Tip: Tenue Soleil ® is a mineral sunscreen with moisturizing ingredients, so sometimes you don't even need your day cream.
Why using sunscreen as a day cream is a smart choice
Many day creams contain SPF15, but that is insufficient protection, especially for long-term exposure. A full-fledged sunscreen with SPF30 or SPF50 protects better and more stably.
The benefits of a good mineral sunscreen:
-
Protects against premature skin aging (wrinkles, pigment spots)
-
Helps reduce sun allergy symptoms in sensitive skin
-
Reduces the risk of skin cancer with regular exposure
-
Supports the skin barrier through mild formulation without perfume or alcohol
Tenue Soleil ® contains non-nano zinc oxide and is specially developed for daily use — without microplastics, perfume or other irritating ingredients.
Conclusion: protect your skin consciously
Using sunscreen as a day cream is a smart move on days with a sun strength of 3 or higher. Then it pays to make SPF a fixed step in your morning routine. Choose a mineral sunscreen with SPF30 or higher, tailored to sensitive skin.
