Lotion First, or Sunscreen?

Question

hello,
so i bought this lotion
(skin therapy lotion; for dry, flaky skin; it exfoliates and moisturizes)
and it has AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid),
and it says to use with a sunscreen.

So i was wondering, do i put the lotion on FIRST then the sunscreen
OR
the sunscreen FIRST, then the lotion?

thanks
:)

and answers would be helpful

i read somewhere that you should let (either sunscreen first, or lotion) absorb on your face before you put the other one on,
i just don't know which one
LOL

Answer 1

if you can use sunscreen with a built-in moisturizer, the better;
otherwise if they're separate, apply the lotion first, wait at least 10 minutes to be absorbed, then apply the sunscreen.

Answer 2

I usually recommend using a sunscreen in the AM, for dry or sensitive skin in your case; and using the lotion at night.
Mixing the lotion and sunscreen will dilute the effect of both.

Answer 3

i don't think it matters cuz in the end it's gonna get mixed together anyways lol, but i'd put sunscreen first then lotion

Answer 4

u are better of going to clinique or chanel to get a moistirizor with a sunscreen in it much easierrrand less stuff u are putting on your skin

Answer 5

lotion then sunscreen :) sunscreen will dry your skin if put on directly.

Answer 6

Lotion 1st to moist ur skin then sunscreen to protect.... :)

Answer 7

Get a good quality, oil free sunblock, like Neutrogena's Ultra Sheer Dry Touch sun block, and it should moisturize and protect at the same time.

Answer 8

always do a heavy handed sunscreen last. i would just use an emoliant sunscreen on my face thats it.

at night i would use the AHA product.
