Should You Put on Moisturizer or Sunscreen First?

Should You Put on Moisturizer or Sunscreen First?

It’s one of the most common skincare questions: Should you apply moisturizer or sunscreen first? The order might seem minor, but it can actually affect how well your products work—and how well your skin is protected.

Let’s clear it up once and for all.

The Short Answer

Sunscreen always goes last in your skincare routine—after moisturizer, and before makeup.

Here’s why that matters.

Why Sunscreen Comes Last

Sunscreen is designed to sit on top of your skin and form a barrier against UV rays. If you apply moisturizer after sunscreen, you’re likely to dilute it or disrupt that barrier—reducing its effectiveness.

Think of sunscreen as the final shield. Everything else should go underneath it.

Where Makeup Fits In

Once your sunscreen is on and has had a minute or two to set, you’re ready to apply makeup.

This is where breathable, skin-friendly formulas like our Glow Compact Cushion or Matte Compact Cushion come in. They go on smoothly over SPF and help you lock in hydration without clogging pores.

Bonus: our cushions are designed to work with your skin, not against it—so your makeup still feels fresh, not layered.

The Ideal Application Order

Here’s how your morning routine should look:

  • Cleanser – Start with a gentle face wash like the Perfect Foam Cleanser

  • Moisturizer – Hydrate your skin with something lightweight like the Perfect Light Facial Cream

  • Sunscreen – Apply a broad-spectrum SPF (every day, rain or shine)

  • Makeup – Finish with foundation, concealer, or whatever your go-to look includes

Let each layer sink in before moving to the next. You don’t need to rush it—good skin takes intention, not speed.

When it comes to skincare and makeup, timing and product choice go hand in hand. With lightweight moisturizers and makeup designed to work over SPF, you don’t have to compromise protection for performance.
