Sunscreen before or after moisturiser ??

I have found a great matte sunscreen which I will wear daily, but have no idea if it goes before or after sunscreen. I have looked online and people keep saying different things so I am a bit baffled !!

Thanks x

You shouldn't need a separate moisturiser if you're using sunscreen.

If you really want to use one, wait for it to fully sink in/dry before you put on sunscreen (I would leave it 30 minutes). Otherwise, the moisturiser will 'dilute' the sunscreen and you won't have the full protection.

Please tell me what your matte sunscreen is???!!!!!

It's the Hawaiian Tropics oil free faces spf 30.

It soaks in straight away and leaves you matte with no shine.

Best thing is I found it in Home Bargains for £2.99 !! I love a bargain Smile

Consultant dermatologist told me that not all sunscreens are effective moisturisers, so to moisturise first, allow to absorb about 30mins, then put on anything extra - sunscreen, steroids, makeup. Some sunscreens are effective moisturisers, of course.
