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.

Dt Collagen created a day cream/moisturizer that is safe and non pore clogging. It is light and gentle enough for everyday use and perfect for layering under makeup. SPF moisturizers are something I can only ever find in SPF 30, and they are ALWAYS tinted for whatever reason! I am not a big makeup wearer, so sometimes I’d rather not even have my moisturizer/SPF necessity be tinted. To my surprise, this ANTI-AGING (talk about a BONUS!) has little to no scent! Is SPF 50! And has NO TINT! That is hard to come by. The scent is a clean, yet barely there smell, similar to a regular sunscreen but much, much lighter. It goes on very light and absorbs quickly into the skin. The scent does not linger or last, and it is not oily or sticky like most sunscreen. It is a very lightweight formula which I really like about it because it allow you to layer it on multiple times throughout the day is need be. It is hydrating but not over powwering or heavy adn creamy like some moisturizers. This specific type of product is hard to come by and I love it. I have very few complaints, however, it is not perfect. I don’t think it is strong enough on its own, as just a stand alone moisturizer, but it is definitely one to layer over a very light day time moisturizer following your original morning skincare routine. The consistency is similar to that of a light moisturizer. Not too thick and creamy and not too heavy, but it is also not too watery. It is just light and loose enough that it doesn’t have that sticky, thick sunscreen residue feeling that most sunscreen’s do. My only complaint about the packaging is that I have to bang the bottom on the counter a few times before every use to get the product to come out. I am not sure if mine is just a faulty bottle, or if it is like that with every bottle and is a packaging fault. When it comes to product amount, I’d say abut 2 full pumps is pretty good for full coverage of the face and neck; three pumps if you’re including your decloté. So far this is my favorite light weight facial sunscreen! SPF 50 and no tint, plus it is unscented… that is hard to beat in my books! Thank you DT COLLAGEN!

As a licensed esthetician, I am genuinely thrilled with this product! What sets it apart is that, unlike many others, it doesn’t leave my deep complexion looking ashy or gray. The healthy glow it gives is amazing, and the best part? No greasy feeling at all! The DT Collagen SPF 50 Sunscreen Moisturizing Day Cream is a quick-absorbing, moisturizing gem. The texture is more of a lotion than a cream. It smells just like the sunscreens I’ve tried on before, which adds a touch of familiarity. The clinical packaging not only looks sleek but, is also practical. This product has become my go-to, providing the protection my skin needs while giving me that radiant look. For fellow estheticians or anyone who wants a solid SPF day lotion, especially, while using an exfoliating regimen, I highly recommend giving this a try!

As a nail tech and make up artist with over a decade in the beauty industry I have tried all kinds of spf products. I’ve always been very picky when it comes to spf products because sometimes they are so thick it feels like you’re wearing a mask or they leave a white cast, or they have a weird texture. This particular spf is moisturizing, feels amazing on my skin, it feels like as you rub it in it just melts into your skin and I love that! The packaging is very cute and the product comes in a airless pump bottle which is always a plus for me since you get to use every bit of the product. If there’s anything I didn’t like it’s definitely the smell. It’s not a stinky smell it’s just weird. I haven’t been able to put my finger on what exactly the smell is but overall it’s a minor complaint when the results are so good!
