Applying sunscreen correctly can feel a bit daunting, but it’s crucial for healthy skin. I’ve found a routine that works well for me, and I want to share it to help others get it right!
Start by using sunscreen as the final step in your morning skincare routine, right after your serums and moisturizer. I usually begin with a gentle cleanser, then apply any serums I love, such as vitamin C or hyaluronic acid. After letting those absorb, I follow up with my moisturizer before adding a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher to ensure I’m protected from both UVA and UVB rays.
One helpful tip is to wait a minute or two between applying each product. This allows everything to absorb properly and can help minimize that sometimes sticky feeling that sunscreen can leave. If you wear makeup, consider using a tinted sunscreen or a lightweight formula that also acts as a primer, giving you both protection and a smooth base for your makeup.
