Can I put sunscreen over Bio-Oil?

Published in Sunscreen Application Order 1 min read

No, you should not apply sunscreen over Bio-Oil; sunscreen should always be the last product applied to your skin for effective protection.

Applying Bio-Oil before sunscreen can hinder the sunscreen's ability to properly shield your skin from the sun's harmful rays. The oil may dilute the sunscreen, reducing its efficacy.

Why Sunscreen Goes Last

  • Optimal Protection: Sunscreen is designed to create a protective barrier on your skin. Applying it last ensures that this barrier is not compromised by other products.
  • Undiluted Efficacy: Applying sunscreen directly to the skin prevents dilution from other skincare products, maintaining its SPF and effectiveness.

How to Incorporate Bio-Oil into Your Routine

If you want to use Bio-Oil, consider these suggestions:

  • Evening Application: Apply Bio-Oil as part of your nighttime skincare routine.
  • Lightweight Morning Oils: If you prefer using a facial oil in the morning, opt for a lightweight and fast-absorbing formula that won't interfere with sunscreen application.
