Starting your skincare journey can feel like navigating a complex maze, particularly when it comes to mastering the art of layering skincare products.

So, where do you begin? Is it sunscreen or primer first, and should you moisturise before primer? The order of application can make all the difference in achieving a perfectly radiant and well-maintained complexion.

Let’s dive into priming and moisturising, and whether you should apply sunscreen before or after primer.

Primer Before or After Sunscreen?

When pondering whether it’s primer or sunscreen first, it’s important to appreciate the unique roles of each product.

Sunscreen should be your first step, enveloping your skin in a protective veil against harmful UV rays and premature ageing. By laying this foundation first, you ensure your skin is safeguarded.

Once your sunscreen has settled, apply your primer. This will refine your skin's texture, creating a canvas that enhances both your makeup throughout the day, as well as the integrity of your skin’s surface.

Why Should You Moisturise Before Primer?

Wondering whether to use primer before or after moisturiser? For best results, always start with your moisturiser after your SPF. This hydrates and nourishes your skin, creating a supple and smooth canvas.

A well-moisturised complexion is the perfect foundation for your primer so it can blend effortlessly. By moisturising first, you allow your primer to smooth out imperfections and extend the longevity of your makeup. Neglecting this step could reduce your primer’s effectiveness and impact the overall finish of your look.
