In reply to Sarah. Sarah, I now recommend using sunscreen AFTER moisturizer. The other way around isn't wrong, but research I've seen lately suggests that sunscreen is better used as the last step in your skincare routine.

Thanks for addressing this little discussed skin care issue. i try to apply any foundation or concealer, over my sunscreen with a very light hand. Sometimes if I feel like I rubbed too much, I will pat more sunscreen over whatever foundation or concealer I’ve applied. It helps if the makeup or tinted BB cream also has sunscreen in it. Then afterward and before I leave the house, I brush on some powder with spf in it.

In reply to beautifulwithbrains. Oh wow, sunscreen BEFORE moisturiser? I’ve always done it the other way around!!

In reply to Roberta Cervantes Garcia. Roberta, yes, I think there's the chance that you'll remove some sunscreen. Probably not much if you buff very, very gently, but it is a possibility indeed.

Hi! You were the one of the only other 3 articles I found on the internet addressing this issue. It’s SO important and no one really stops to think of it! You find rather “how to apply sunscreen without messing up my makeup”. Anyway, I’m using retinol at night so for me it’s suuuuuper important to know if I’m getting the right protection.

I gotta big question. You see this trend of using oval brushes (the Artis brush dupes) – I got a fabulous and cheap set. Application involves a bit of buffing and slighly rubbing. Do you think this affects sunscreen coverage?
