Should you apply sunscreen or moisturizer first?
If you stumble on this post, you must be questioning this question, whether it is better to apply sunscreen before or after moisturizer. You are correct that one of the most important factors in skin care is to follow the right steps, and that a day-time skincare routine is different from a night-time skincare routine.
Why should I apply sunscreen?
You might or might not know the importance and the tremendous benefits applying sunscreen daily can bring. But here is a brief explanation:
UV rays and sun exposure can wreak havoc on your skin, causing sunburn, premature aging, and even increasing the risk of skin cancer. UVB rays lead to painful sunburns and tanning, while UVA rays penetrate deeper, causing wrinkles, age spots, and sagging skin. Prolonged exposure can accelerate aging, resulting in rough, leathery skin with dark spots. Moreover, UV radiation weakens the skin’s immune response, making it vulnerable to infections.
You can protect your skin by wearing broad-spectrum sunscreen, seeking shade, and avoiding tanning beds.
Moisturizer or Sunscreen first?
According to dermatologists and skincare experts, the order of application matters more than you might think. The general rule of thumb is to apply sunscreen as the final step in your skincare routine, ensuring maximum protection from UV radiation. Why? Because sunscreen forms a protective barrier on the skin’s surface, shielding it from the sun’s harmful rays. Applying moisturizer first may dilute the effectiveness of sunscreen, compromising its ability to adhere to the skin and provide adequate protection.
Break down the process of morning skincare routine:
- Cleanse the face with face wash: clean the wash, unclog pores and get rid of dead skin (exfoliating cleanser) or excessive oil, helping skincare’s products to work better.
- (Optional) Serum: some people might like adding special serum treatment to their routine (like Vitamin C or Hyaluronic Acid).
- Moisturizer: essential for hydrating and nourishing the skin, providing a smooth canvas for makeup application, and maintaining skin health.
- Sunscreen: sunscreen is non-negotiable for shielding your skin from harmful UV rays, preventing premature aging, and reducing the risk of skin cancer.
- (Optional) Make-up

Do you need moisturizer?
The answer is yes, oil skin doesn’t need a moisturizer is a myth. In fact, dehydrated skin leads skin to produce more excess oil, giving you a “shine” effect. Moisturizer is essential for all skin types; without it, you may encounter dullness, excess oiliness, and irritation.
But, it is too much of an effort. Some people just barely don’t have time for too many steps in skincare, or they have sensitive or acne-prone skin – so they cannot apply too many layers as it will clog the pores. And, let’s be real, purchasing too many skincare products at one can be a lot, so why haven’t you tried our solution, the DT Collagen Anti-Aging Day Cream SPF-50.

I am just getting familiar with this brand in recent months and I like it. Their facial cleanser is amazing, so I figured this day cream/sunscreen would knock it out of the park also. Well they definitely did when it comes to ingredients and what they do, such as Vitamin E and lactic acid to name a couple. As a moisturizing day cream, I’m getting amino acids and proteins that stimulate Collagen growth and who doesn’t love Collagen when your trying to keep that youthful look. It helps with fine lines and man do I hate those. It definitely helps with skin elasticity because after some time of use I could feel tightening, that was great. The one con I have about this product is , as a sunscreen. It’s wonderful that it has an SPF of 50 with all the benefits of the day cream but you have to reapply every 2 hours for it to be affective and that’s a bit inconvenient to me. Great product but I would use a day cream not a sunscreen.

When I’m going through my skincare routine every morning, I always reach for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 50, anything less and I’m just not comfortable stepping out! I battle with Melasma, so I’m particularly obsessed with making sure that my face is fully protected from both UVA and UVB rays. I like how the product is dispensed with a pump, so it’s not a messy application. I also appreciate the addition of a variety of skin-pampering ingredients that are beneficial to strengthening the skin’s barrier… ceramides, etc. However, like most women with Melasma, I know that a mineral sunscreen is best for protecting skin that deals with this condition. Several clinical studies show that chemical sunscreens are not an optimal choice for me, so that’s my only beef with this formula. If someone is not concerned with chemical filters, then I feel like this day cream is a good pick.

As a professional cosmetologist, sunscreen and other skincare products that contain SPF are a MUST in my skincare routine. I particularly love when products like the DT Collagen Anti-Aging Day Cream SPF-50 are both a moisturizer and a sunscreen in one product. It’s lightweight and applies beautifully as a foundation to my makeup. It absorbs quickly and does not cause my makeup to shift. Again, the only issue that I have found with the DT Collagen Anti-Aging Day Cream SPF-50 is the fragrance. Like their other creams, it is heavily fragranced and smells like my grandmother’s skincare products from the 1980s. I am not a big fan of heavily fragranced skincare products and that alone would keep me from adding a product to my skincare routine. Other than that, it’s a great little day cream and my skin looks great after using it.
