Gelsunscreenshouldbeappliedtoalltreatmentsandbeforemakeup(ifyouuseit).Itis because it must be applied on top of the care. After all, if you spread a regular cream on topofthe sunscreenlayer, youwill rubthe protectionlayer, andit willnot beuniform. And because moisturizing will not reach the skin through makeup. Mke sure Makeup should be applied over Sunscreen because what’s the point of applying some other creamontopofthefoundation?Itwillsmear. Theessenceofmakeupisthatitison the surfaceof the skin.

There is no need to wait between the application of the care and the Sunscreen,but evaluate whatcan presumably happen. For example, if your skin care product is wet and greasy and the layers mix upon application,youdon’tgetaneventhicklayerofuvprotection.Soitisprobablybestto waituntil the care isabsorbed. AlittleaboutmakeupwithSPF,daycreamsandsunscreensprays Decorative cosmetics rarely have a sun protection factor above 15 and even less often protects against UVA radiation. Therefore, even if your foundation has a sun protection factorSPFof30-50,youwillneverapplythefoundationorpowderneededforcomplete protection. Italsoappliestobb-andcc-creams.Therefore,Iaskyounottorelyonfiltersin decorativecosmetics andto usea separatesunscreen.

Theabilityofamediumtoabsorblightdependsonthewavelengthoftheabsorbedwave and the concentration and thickness layer of this substance. The law is stunningly obvious, and in theory, if you mix the two, the result is a protection factor that equals somethingin between. Asyouprobablyalreadyknow,noteverytheoreticalcalculationworksinpractice. First, the SPF value does not directly depend on the concentration of the filters. There are thousandsoffactorsthatdeterminethevalue.Nottomentionthatthefiltersarecontained inthe base ofthe cream, andit dilutes theconcentration. Secondly, the SPF indicated on the package will be the same if you smear the recommended1.25mlonlyonyourface,andfewpeoplesmearthatmuch.Asaresult, how much protection you have there is unknown, but less than what is written on the bank.Therefore, noone cantell whichSPF valuesyou arelayering.
