I’ve been working on perfecting my skincare routine, particularly the order of applying sunscreen and moisturizer. With my sensitive combination skin, I want to ensure I’m protecting it without causing irritation. So, should sunscreen be applied before or after moisturizer?
From my research, it seems that applying moisturizer first is generally recommended. The idea is to let the moisturizer soak into the skin, and then the sunscreen acts as a protective layer on top. However, I’ve also heard differing opinions, especially regarding chemical sunscreens, which some suggest should be applied first for optimal absorption.
I’d love to hear your experiences! Have you noticed any differences in your skin when applying these products in different sequences? Also, do you have any go-to product recommendations for sensitive skin? Looking forward to your insights!
