2What if we apply moisturizer first? What are the
pros? Dermatologists, who are in favor of the
"moisturizing first, sun protection after"
option, point out that the primary use of sun
cream will impair the effectiveness of subsequent
products. Moisturizing lotions contain a lot of
water. That could dissolve the sun protection.
For this reason, according to the theory, you
should wait until all other products are
completely absorbed into the skin. Only then is
the sun cream used.
What are the cons? To understand why this
approach may not produce the best results, it is
important to know more about how sun protection
works. Not all best sunscreen gel is created
equal. Roughly divided, one can speak of
sunscreen with a physical UV filter and one with
a chemical UV filter. The former acts like a
shield. They reflect the UV rays and turn them
away from the skin. Chemical filters, on the
other hand, react with the skin. You have to
touch them to be effective. A thick layer of
moisturizer underneath could therefore impair its
protection.
3What if we apply sunscreen gel first? What are
the pros? As mentioned above, several types of
sunscreen exist like mineral sunscreens, chemical
sunscreens, and physical sunscreens. You can
recognize them by their active ingredients. Sun
protection with a physical UV filter mainly
consists of organic components. These include,
for example, zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.
They also leave a white haze and are easier to
wash off. To identify sun protection with
chemical UV filters, look out for the ingredients
avobenzone, Mexoryl, and octocrylene. These
creams are absorbed by the skin and, as
mentioned, need direct contact to be effective.
What are the cons? Wear sunscreen primarily also
means that subsequent products can no longer
penetrate so deeply into the skin. This is a
disadvantage for the effectiveness of your care.
4What Happens When You Mix best sunscreen gel With
Moisturizer? Mixing sunscreen with moisturizer
seems so innocent for a skincare routine. But
when you make them mix so close together, two
important things happen You reduce the
sunscreen think about it. To get the SPF level
on the package, you need to apply 1/2 teaspoon on
the face. If you mix sunscreen with a moisturizer
(or any other skincare product, for that matter),
you won't be able to apply so much. You can turn
Sunscreen SPF 50 into SPF 25 or below! Conflict
of ingredients sunscreens are a delicate thing.
Some of the ingredients of your moisturizer or
tonal cream can damage UV filters, making them
less effective. Translation By mixing sunscreen
with moisturizer, lotion, serum, or something
else, you lose its effectiveness.
5Can You Mix Sunscreen with Moisturizer? Mixing
sunscreen gel with moisturizer, tonal cream or
lotion may seem like the perfect solution to all
your sunscreen problems, but it does your skin
more harm than good. When you mix them, you
reduce the effectiveness of sunscreen, making
your skin prone to sun damage, wrinkles, and dark
spots. Isn't it worth the risk? Instead, look for
the sunscreen you like to use. These days, you
can easily find sunscreens with a light texture
and built-in hue to avoid fat and white hue.
6Which is the best sunscreen The ideal sunscreen
is what suits the sensitive skin type, oily skin
type, and dry skin too. Sunscreen should come
with broad-spectrum protection that protects
against UVA rays as well as UVB rays emitted from
the sun. The most important factor is Sun
Protection Factor also called SPF which
represents the ability of a sunscreen to stop how
many UV rays. It is ideal to go for Sunscreen gel
SPF 50 for the best protection and least harmful
chemical.
