Day cream and sunscreen .. Will one be an alternative to the other?

The day cream for solar filters is the preferred option for a number of consumers, due to its practical character and its ability to moisturize and protect the skin at the same time, but the question that arises in this field: Does this product provide adequate protection from the sun? As for the answer, it is linked to several data, most notably that the protection factor mentioned on the product is determined in cosmetic laboratories after applying the cream with a thickness of 2 milligrams for the product on each square centimeter of the skin. It is a much larger amount than it is applied to the skin than the day cream, but as a result of this, it is that the actual protection from the sun that this product provides is much lower than the number mentioned on it.
Solar condom instead of day cream:
One of the important differences between day cream and sunscreen is that the first composition is prepared for its active ingredients to penetrate the skin, but if it contains chemical filters, it can penetrate the skin as well and not remain on its surface as it must play its preventive role.
This does not apply to metal filters that usually remain on the surface of the skin, but they are rarely used in day creams because of their thick texture. As for the best solutions in this field, it is permanently retaining the solar condom in the handbag and applying it to the skin in the event of direct exposure to the sun for a long time.
Common differences and points:
Some cosmetic laboratories have sought to provide developed combinations of sunscreen, containing the same active ingredients in the day cream in order to secure care and protection for the skin, but in this case, can the sunscreen can replace the day cream?
Experts indicate that in this case, it is sufficient in the morning to apply the solar condom that contains components that take care of the skin in the days when you are not exposed to long times outside, but if the direct exposure to the sun is large during the day, it becomes necessary to renew the application of protection every two hours.
