    Sorry that people disagree but I am not wrong.
    Winter SPF? Soooo is a marketing ploy.

    Use sunscreen....not cosmetic SPF face cream.....if you must.

    But the wrinkles? Diet....that will help more than anything.
    Me and my family don't wear face creams...never moisturize...but exceptional diets.
    No wrinkles and look younger than we are.
    Buying into marketing......not my thing

    I agree with you in some points. Diet is indeed more than anything. Adding to that, live a stress-free life. Stress would make someone look older, to say, having wrinkles. Yay. Have a good day everyone. :)

    What is exceptional about your diet, which means it prevents wrinkles and keeps your skin moisturised?

    There is nothing to link to.
    You dont want to expose your skin to the harm of UV light...then use a sunscreen

    Using cosmetic facecream with SPF is marketing.....costs a lot of money....and is not needed.

    Also remember that UV light is what creates the vitamin D.

     Lots of Fat (proper fat) , lots of meat and fish, lots of fruit, lots of veg....lots of water
    No dairy, no wheat, no processed foods. NO SOY, no Grain Oils, no sugar.

    Diets are terrible in this country. A decent diet will protect your skin from harmful UV rays AND allow the production of Vit D.

    What is the best way to wash your face without purchasing wipes or creams, i used to wash my face with a sponge until my wife claimed is might cause wrinkles so i started just splashing my face with water or dabbing softly. I would love to find one type of cloth to use for this purpose!
    I agree with the patting of the face with a towel drying, you don't want to be coarse with it like you would when drying your body when coming out of the bath or shower.  
    Stay out the sun as much as possible because that ages you like there is no tomorrow.  I have seen it with friends, they are in their late 30's / early 40's and they have really aged when I have not seen them for months. 

    I use a cellulose sponge with a perfume-free soap.  Cleansing  the skin with an alcohol-free cleanser  and using a moisturiser that is suitable for your skin type will help. 

    I have colleagues who do not cleanse and moisturise before applying make up.  I cannot believe it!  They are the sort that will rush out to buy the miracle creams when they hit the age when wrinkles are prevalent.  Prevention is better than a cure.  It helps to look after your skin when you are young too, I started from 13 years old because I had severe acne I am 39 now and never missed a day of my skincare regime.

    And that was my point.
    You can't produce scientific (or otherwise - unlike my link to Superdrug) evidence to back up your claim that SPF face cream is not needed.

    Why would anyone believe some random stranger on t'interweb who makes a statement and is unable/unwilling to back it up?
    It's a bit like Joe Bloggs down't'pub telling you that if you plant a fiver under your marrow plants they'll win the village show.

    That's just a healthy diet - nothing especially exceptional about it.

    I'm not sure it will eradicate /reduce the number of wrinkles alone though if you also don't stay out of the sun.

    Because there is no scientific link that says ' use sunscreen rather than expensive face creams'.
