Yes, you can absolutely apply sunscreen after your serum. In fact, applying sunscreen after your serum and moisturizer is the best way to ensure that your skin is protected from the sun's harmful rays.
Here's a breakdown of why this is the ideal order for your skincare routine:
- Serums: Serums are designed to penetrate deep into the skin and deliver concentrated ingredients like vitamins, antioxidants, and hyaluronic acid. Applying sunscreen after your serum allows these ingredients to work their magic before a protective layer is created.
- Moisturizers: Moisturizers help to hydrate and seal in the benefits of your serum. Applying sunscreen after moisturizer helps to create a barrier that prevents your skin from losing moisture and helps the sunscreen to work effectively.
- Sunscreens: Sunscreens are the final layer of protection. They create a physical or chemical barrier against the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays, preventing damage and premature aging.
Remember, regardless of the order, sunscreen should always be the last step in your morning skincare routine. This ensures that it forms a protective layer on your skin, providing maximum sun protection.
