Your Questions, Answered
SPF (sun protection factor) is most commonly found in sunscreens, but it can also be formulated into other skincare products such as moisturisers, serums, and skincare-makeup hybrids like tinted moisturisers, helping you streamline your routine.
To properly protect your skin from the sun, it’s best to apply your moisturiser first, followed by a dedicated facial SPF. While SPF moisturisers can provide some coverage, it’s unlikely you’ll apply enough product to achieve the full level of protection stated on the packaging. That said, a moisturiser with SPF can still offer some protection - especially a higher SPF formula such as Paula's Choice Resist Youth-Extending Hydrating Fluid SPF 50.
SPF should be applied as the final step in your skincare routine to ensure it forms a protective layer over your skin. Don’t forget to reapply regularly throughout the day.
Yes, you can apply makeup over SPF once it has fully absorbed into your skin. Allow your sunscreen a few minutes to set before applying foundation or other base products. However, keep in mind that during prolonged sun exposure, SPF should be reapplied every two hours to maintain protection. You may choose a tinted SPF for easy reapplication, or an SPF face mist for topping up throughout the day.
