Sunscreen and Moisturizer Order: The Right Way for Indian Skin

In India's diverse climate, from humid summers to dry winters, knowing the correct sunscreen and moisturizer order is crucial for healthy skin. Let's break down the perfect routine for maximum protection and hydration.

The Correct Order: Moisturizer First, Sunscreen Second

1. Start with clean, dry skin
2. Apply moisturizer
3. Wait 3-5 minutes
4. Apply sunscreen

Why This Order Matters:
• Moisturizer hydrates and preps skin
• Sunscreen creates a protective barrier on top

Benefits for Indian Skin:
• Combats dryness in air-conditioned environments
• Protects against intense UV rays year-round
• Helps prevent uneven skin tone and premature aging

Tips for Moisturizing:
• Choose a lightweight, non-greasy formula
• Use more in dry winters, less in humid summers
• Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin
• For best results, try Mokah Woman's Lush

Sunscreen Application Tips:
• Use broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher
• Apply generously - about 1 teaspoon for face and neck
• Reapply every 2-3 hours when outdoors
• For best results, try Mokah Woman's Sunsoak

Common Questions:

Q: Can I mix sunscreen and moisturizer?
A: It's better to apply separately for full effectiveness

Q: What if my moisturizer has SPF?
A: Still use a separate sunscreen for complete protection

Q: Do I need both in oily skin?
A: Yes, use light, oil-free products

Special Considerations for Indian Skin:
• Darker skin tones: Use non-whitening sunscreens
• Acne-prone skin: Choose non-comedogenic products
• Sensitive skin: Opt for fragrance-free options

Making It a Daily Habit:
• Keep products visible on your dressing table
• Set a daily phone reminder
• Make it part of your morning routine, like brushing teeth

Remember, the right sunscreen and moisturizer order is key to healthy, protected skin in India's challenging climate. Moisturizer then sunscreen - it's a simple step that makes a big difference. Start today for glowing, healthy skin tomorrow!
