The order of using BB cream and sunscreen. Many people apply them in the wrong order.

The order of using BB cream and sunscreen, many people apply the order in reverse, so how do you apply it? Let’s take a look together.

BB cream and sunscreen application order

BB cream focuses more on brightening and modifying skin tone. Strictly speaking, BB cream should belong to the color makeup series. It is a primer that was originally used to prevent the skin from being damaged by cosmetics. Therefore, the main function of BB cream is to isolate the contact between makeup and skin and protect the skin from harmful substances in cosmetics. BB cream can also make makeup more delicate and fitting.

The main function of sunscreen

The main function of sunscreen is to resist ultraviolet rays in light and minimize irritation and damage to the skin. There are two main types of sunscreen products on the market now: chemical sunscreen products and physical sunscreen products. I have mentioned physical sunscreen and chemical sunscreen before. Physical sunscreen contains titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, etc. These ingredients are spread on the skin in the form of particles to form a thin film that reflects ultraviolet rays. The advantages are low allergenicity and not prone to photodegradation and damage to the skin. The disadvantages are relatively thick and greasy. Chemical sunscreens can also form a thin film on the skin, but its function is to absorb ultraviolet rays and prevent them from entering the bottom layer of the skin. The texture is relatively thin.

How to use sunscreen and BB cream

The difference between sunscreen and BB cream

The main function of sunscreen is to prevent ultraviolet rays, where SPF represents the strength of preventing UVB, and PA represents the strength of preventing UVA. The SPF of BB cream is generally not as high as that of sunscreen, and the sunscreens in the formula are not as comprehensive as those of sunscreen. BB cream generally isolates dirty air from the skin and has the functions of sun protection and radiation protection. However, the sun protection factor of BB cream is generally low, so when heavy sun protection is not required, it is OK to apply BB cream directly after basic skin care. When the ultraviolet rays are strong (such as in summer), you need to use a sunscreen with a certain sun protection factor, and use it after BB cream to increase the sun protection effect. If you stay indoors all day, you can use BB cream instead of sunscreen. Especially for white-collar workers who often face computers, they must do a good job of isolating radiation. At this time, the choice of isolation cream is very important.
