There is a great foundation we stock at our salon called Inika that contains its own SPF, so its a one step process. Just moisturise and then apply your Mineral Foundation. Our clients find it flawless coverage, you don't feel like you have anything on your skin, yet you get full sun protection.<br />If your using a separate sunscreen cream then yes, moisturise first, then apply sunscreen, then foundation over the top.Pavitranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20396927.post-13281830463014402332011-02-14T10:15:17.537+05:302011-02-14T10:15:17.537+05:30You should wear sunscreen everyday to prevent sun ...You should wear sunscreen everyday to prevent sun damage unless the makeup you wear has sunscreen in it.<br />You would cleanse and tone your skin first and then apply a moisturizer before the sunscreen.

Look for the words "broad spectrum protection" or UVA protection in addition to the SPF of 15 or greater. Select a sunscreen that says "nonacnegenic" or "noncomedogenic" on the label to help keep pores clear. The sun's rays are strongest between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM, so make sure you reapply sunscreen frequently and take breaks indoors if you can. If your shadow is longer than you are tall, then it's a safer time to be in the sun (you should still wear sunscreen, though).Varshanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20396927.post-47079674720493164712009-05-03T11:50:00.000+05:302009-05-03T11:50:00.000+05:30I have to say that putting on sunblock since I was...I have to say that putting on sunblock since I was a kid is what has helped me preserve healthy skin.

Sunscreens are essential for any prolonged amount of time in the sun. On hot, sunny days the sun’s rays can penetrate deep into skins tissues and destroy its natural binding elements, which keep the skin elastic.So if the climate and weather of your home town is very sunny and you spend a lot of time outdoors, make sure that you are using a daily sunscreen, you will be much happier in the long run. The tissues in your face are very soft and damage easily with prolonged exposure to UV rays. Sunscreens should be applied in the morning before leaving the house. Most products can be used by the whole family, however we suggest that you use a cream that is specifically for your skin type and that may not always work best to others in your home. Some creams can be used on all part of the body, or with treatments like laser, peels and acids. Find out the characteristics of your cream and try the one that works and is best suited for your lifestyle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20396927.post-48285915041573033212009-03-27T09:08:00.000+05:302009-03-27T09:08:00.000+05:30Avoid the sun during high-intensity hours.

Cover your skin with clothing, such as long-sleeved shirts, long pants and wide-brimmed hats. Also, keep in mind that certain clothing styles and fabrics offer better protection from the sun than do others. For example, long-sleeved shirts offer better protection than short-sleeved shirts do. And tightly woven fabrics such as denim are better than loosely woven fabrics such as knits.Use sunscreen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
