Sunscreen should be applied before makeup. You'll want to wait about 20 minutes for your sunscreen to absorb before heading outdoors (or getting any sun exposure). Applying sunscreen over makeup can interfere with your look, especially if you’re wearing foundation and other base makeup. It may slide around or melt off altogether, forcing you to start right back at square one.
Our tips:
• Apply sunscreen to your entire face, including the tops of your ears and under and around your eyes. Don’t forget your neck and decolletage.
• Let the sunscreen absorb for at least a minute before putting on makeup.
