Your moisturizer and sunscreen each play a unique role in your skin care routine. The moisturiser prevents loss of hydration from your skin, whereas your sunscreen protects you from the harmful radiations from the sun. So for effective functioning of each product you should ideally not mix them or use one right after the other. Whether you are using your moisturiser or sunscreen first, allow a time gap of 15 to 20 minutes in between the two products. This will allow the product applied first, to be absorbed fully into your skin, before you apply the second one. This way the moisturizer or the sunscreen will not cross-react or interfere with the working of each other.
