Sunscreen and moisturizer.

Which should go first, sunscreen or moisturizer? I've read it depends on the kind of sunscreen. Do you have any duo that works fine? 

Sunscreen and moisturizer.

Moisturizer first, sunscreen second. You want to apply your products in order from lightest to heaviest so your skin can absorb all the goodies from the smaller molecules and then fill in plump with the bigger molecules. Tatcha's Silken Pore Perfecting Sunscreen is great because it is light weight, will refine your pores, and sit beautifully beneath foundation.

Re: Sunscreen and moisturizer.

Sunscreen should be the very last step of your skincare routine, regardless of type. And to echo what Kevin said, it's best to use a stand-alone sunscreen to help ensure adequate sun protection. 

Re: Sunscreen and moisturizer.

Hi @AlmaCastro! I apply sunscreen after moisturizer! A lot of moisturizers these days will offer some SPF protection, but I recommend using a sunscreen on top because the actual SPF value usually isn't that high.  If you're looking for both, though, I recommend checking out the JOSIE MARAN - Argan Daily Moisturizer SPF 47 or the #First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair® Pure Mineral Sunscreen Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 40! 

 

Cheers! 

Kevin
