In the morning, in front of the mirror, the skincare routine is about to begin, but then the question arises: What comes first – day cream or sunscreen? The order is crucial if you want to optimally protect and nourish your skin.
Day creams are typically formulated to nourish the skin, moisturize it, and prepare it for the day. Sunscreen, on the other hand, is meant to act like a shield – it sits on the skin and protects against UV-induced skin damage. If you apply sunscreen first and then day cream, this protective film can be disturbed.
Whether liquid, serum, or cream: All these products are applied before sunscreen. Sunscreen is the last step of your morning routine. This is the only way it can fully develop its protective effect. Even if, for example, your make-up already contains an SPF, this is often not enough for long-term and continuous sun exposure.
You can use our day cream with SPF 30 or opt for a sunscreen with SPF 50+, such as our Glowy Sunfluid safe tøday or our Lightweight Sun Milk protect tøday.
Many people wonder how sunscreen interacts with foundation or makeup. The answer: very well, as long as you pay attention to the correct layering. Apply the sunscreen as the last skincare layer, wait 10-15 minutes until it has absorbed, and then apply your makeup. This way, you can prevent the UV protection from becoming uneven and you can style your look as usual.
UV rays don't just hit your skin in summer or direct sunlight. Even on cloudy days and through windows in everyday life, your skin is exposed to UV radiation. Without adequate protection, long-term damage such as premature skin aging, pigment spots, or even skin cancer can occur. A good sunscreen with UVA and UVB filters can reduce this risk.
Day creams with antioxidants can neutralize free radicals caused by sunlight and environmental factors. In combination with a sunscreen, they provide additional protection against premature skin aging. When choosing your products, look for high-quality ingredients and good tolerability, especially if you have sensitive skin.
Remember: Skincare comes first, sunscreen afterward. This ensures that all active ingredients can work optimally and your skin is best protected from UV rays and their corresponding effects.
