Don’t make the mistake of using sunscreen and sunblock in the wrong order!

Skin care seems easy but difficult to do. I believe that many beauty lovers have had skin care troubles. Take skin care products for example. With the continuous advancement of technology, there are more and more types of skin care products. Therefore, when using them, who should be applied first and who should be applied later has become a big problem. Today, I will tell you the correct order of using sunscreen and primer. Don't make mistakes!

Sunscreen

The function of sunscreen is to block ultraviolet rays and prevent sunburn, sun damage and aging. It is mainly divided into three categories: physical sunscreen, chemical sunscreen and physical and chemical sunscreen.

Physical sunscreen uses tiny powders such as zinc dioxide to form a protective film on the skin surface, reflecting ultraviolet rays and achieving sunscreen effect. It is milder than chemical sunscreen.

Chemical sunscreen absorbs UV damage through chemicals to achieve sunscreen effect. It usually takes about 20 minutes to take effect. It is lighter and thinner than physical sunscreen.

Physical and chemical sunscreen combines the characteristics of both to jointly exert the sunscreen effect.

Isolation Cream

Isolation cream has a moisturizing effect. Its main function is to block the damage to the skin caused by makeup, dirty air, etc. At the same time, it has a certain effect of blocking ultraviolet rays. Moreover, its principle of blocking ultraviolet rays is the same as that of sunscreen. At present, some isolation creams are also called isolation sunscreens because their ability to protect against ultraviolet rays has reached the standard of sunscreens.

Sunscreen first, then isolation

When using a primer that does not meet the sunscreen standards, we still need to apply sunscreen before applying primer. The first reason is that if chemical sunscreen is applied after primer, the sunscreen effect will be greatly reduced due to the primer's isolation effect. The second reason is that physical sunscreen applied before primer can better modify skin color and create a more natural look.

If you want to simplify your morning makeup routine, it is recommended to use a sunscreen that effectively blocks UV rays instead of applying an extra layer of sunscreen.
