Sunscreen is essential for protecting our skin, but it can be tricky to know where it fits in your skincare routine. Ideally, you should apply sunscreen as the final step in your morning regimen. This allows it to create a barrier that locks in the benefits of your other products while shielding your skin from harmful UV rays.
For those with combination skin, look for a lightweight, non-greasy sunscreen. I personally prefer cruelty-free brands that include moisturizing ingredients, which help maintain hydration without clogging pores. Applying sunscreen right after your moisturizer can enhance its effectiveness while keeping your skin comfortable.
A great tip is to allow each layer of your skincare products to absorb fully before applying the next one. This practice helps your skin get the maximum benefits from each product. And remember, if you’re spending the day outdoors, make sure to reapply your sunscreen every two hours!
