Should I apply sunscreen before or after serum?

You should apply sunscreen after your serum. This is because serums are designed to penetrate the skin and deliver active ingredients, while sunscreen forms a protective layer on top. Applying sunscreen last ensures that it effectively shields your skin from harmful UV rays.

Key points:

  • Sunscreen should be the final step in your skincare routine.
  • Serums contain active ingredients meant for deeper skin absorption.
  • Applying sunscreen after serum maximises its protective effect.
  • Layering products in the correct order enhances overall skincare benefits.
