What is the correct order for using sunscreen

In summer, it is more important to protect your skin from the sun. When doing so, you should also understand some correct procedures, especially when applying sunscreen. You should first identify what type of skin you have, then cleanse your face, apply toner, moisturize with lotion, and then apply sunscreen. The sunscreen you choose will vary depending on your skin type.

Ingredients: facial cleanser/cleanser, toner, lotion, primer, sunscreen, makeup remover

1. Identify skin types

The first step in our skin care is to identify our skin type. However, sunscreen is also divided into four skin types. If you don’t use the right medicine, the effect may be counterproductive. If you need to know how to distinguish skin types, please refer to other experiences or check reference materials.

2. Cleansing

You must clean your face before applying sunscreen. You need to choose different types of facial cleansers, facial milks, and facial soaps according to different skin types. Generally speaking, dry skin uses hydrating and moisturizing type; oily skin uses refreshing and oil-controlling type; combination skin uses both.

3. Refreshing and hydrating

Dear friends, using toner to moisturize the body is a must. Because the ingredients in sunscreen will absorb a lot of moisture from the face, if the face does not have enough moisture it will cause premature aging of the skin.

After applying toner, you need to gently pat your face to promote the absorption of the toner.

4. Moisturizing lotion

You don't need to use too much lotion, about the size of a dime is enough. Most lotions are designed for dry skin, so girls with oily skin should pay attention and make sure to choose those marked: refreshing type. I suffered a loss once when I bought a bottle of product for dry skin.

In addition, the method of applying lotion is not to apply it to the entire face, but to apply it from the driest area. You need to use your fingertips instead of your palms to apply it, which will help to spread it evenly.

5. Sun protection and isolation

Because many sunscreens contain greasy ingredients, the author usually uses a primer first and then applies sunscreen. In addition, many isolation creams also have sun protection effects, but they are far from meeting the sun protection requirements when the ultraviolet rays are strong.

6. Choice of sunscreen

For oily skin, choose water-based sunscreen products with stronger penetration; for sensitive skin, choose cream-based sunscreen products.

7. Cleaning of sunscreen

Just put on some sunscreen and take a shower when the weather is hot. But you have to use makeup remover to remove the sunscreen on your face. In theory, the isolation cream should also be removed with makeup remover.
