Can I use sunscreen as facial moisturizer?

I like to use a facial moisturizing lotion when I get out of the shower because it makes my face feel less dry and supposedly is good protection against wrinkles. When I run out of moisturizer, is it okay to use sunscreen instead? The lotions both look exactly the same and feel the same when applied...Can I use sunscreen as facial moisturizer?
I used estee lauder cucumber face cream which also has an spf 15 in it that you use for daily moisturizing and sun protection. I love it and would greatly recommend getting something like this.





I wouldn't recommend just using sun screen everyday as a moisturizer because it's not meant to be a moisturizer.Can I use sunscreen as facial moisturizer?
Actually you will get a product build-up by just using sunscreen alone. Eventually your skin will start to be irritated with overexposure. It is actually too thick of a product. Why don't you purchase a good moisterizer that has an spf in it?? Neutrogena has an excellent moisterizer that has an spf of 15 in it and it can be used daily.
I wouldn't recommend it. There are special facial creams that contain SPF though.
depends if u are going outside.





if you have acne prone skin, this could make matters worse. By all the UV rays in it can make your face oily %26amp;%26amp; break out.








search it on google . www.google.com (:
Sunscreen is actually bad. The chemicals in sunscreen actually increase rates of skin cancer because they absorb the suns rays and cause them to dissipate throughout. This avoids sunburn but not the harm from the sun or the chemicals in the product despite popular belief. Sunblock using zinc or titanium dioxide is safer (zinc is best) but not good for moisturizer.
You need to look at the ingredients. If the ingredients are the same, you probably could, but why not just purchase more of the lotion? Most makers these days have a SPF in the moisturizers.
if the sunscreen is specifically for your face...otherwise you might break out... you should check in to a moisturiser with sunscreen in it... they make them in all the good skin care brands...
