Skincare can often feel overwhelming, especially when it comes to the correct order for applying products. A common question I encounter is whether sunscreen should be applied before or after moisturizer. The best practice is to apply moisturizer first, allowing it to hydrate your skin before layering on sunscreen for sun protection.
For those of us who prefer vegan skincare, it’s important to choose complementary products. If you have a thicker moisturizer, give it some time to fully absorb before applying your sunscreen. Opt for a lightweight, non-comedogenic sunscreen that won’t weigh down your skin or clog pores.
I personally enjoy using plant-based oils in my routine, as they provide nourishment and improve texture, making sunscreen application smoother. Plus, it aligns with my values of ethical beauty!
