Hi everyone! I’ve been exploring my skincare routine, and I keep wondering about the order of applying sunscreen and moisturizer. As someone with combination skin, I want to ensure I’m maximizing both hydration and sun protection.
From what I’ve gathered, the common advice is to apply sunscreen after your moisturizer. This approach allows the sunscreen to create a protective barrier without interference from the moisturizer. However, I’ve seen some people use gel moisturizers that contain SPF, which can be a little confusing.
I love starting my routine with cleansing balms followed by gel cleansers to achieve a fresh base. I’m curious—how do you all apply your sunscreen? Do you have any tips for making sure it works effectively throughout the day? Have any of you experimented with different layering techniques that have worked well for you?
