When it comes to the order of application, the general consensus is to apply moisturizer before sunscreen. This is because moisturizer helps to hydrate the skin and should be absorbed first. Sunscreen should be applied on top of the moisturizer to ensure proper protection from the sun's harmful rays. It's recommended to allow a time gap of 15 to 20 minutes between the two products to allow the moisturizer to be fully absorbed before applying sunscreen

. However, if you are using a non-mineral (chemical) sunscreen, it is recommended to apply it before your moisturizer, as it needs to be absorbed into the skin to provide protection
