"Sudah banyak orang yang mengetahui pentingnya pengaplikasian sunscreen sebelum beraktivitas di luar ruangan. Namun, apakah Sahabat Dream tahu bagaimana cara pengaplikasian sunscreen yang tepat? Sebaiknya digunakan sebelum atau setelah pelembap? Yuk, intip jawabannya!" Translation: "Many people already know the importance of applying sunscreen before engaging in outdoor activities. However, do Sahabat Dream know the correct way to apply sunscreen? Should it be used before or after moisturizer? Let's take a look at the answer!"

Products that contain SPF (sun protection formula) such as sunscreen are specially formulated with ingredients that can protect the skin from the sun. Therefore, Sahabat Dream must apply it after moisturizer or as the last step in the morning skincare routine. This way, your skin will remain protected from UVA and UVB rays.

While sunscreen is formulated with active ingredients that help protect the skin from UV radiation, which causes signs of aging. These signs of aging include fine lines, dark spots, and even skin cancer. Based on these functions, we know that moisturizer and sunscreen play an important role in the skin. So, make sure not to forget to include both of them in your skincare routine!

Although SPF 15 sunscreen is already good enough to protect the skin, the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) recommends using sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. For maximum skin protection, don't forget to reapply sunscreen every two hours, wear long-sleeved clothing and a wide-brimmed hat, and avoid going outdoors during certain hours, okay!

Although sunscreen and moisturizer have good benefits in maintaining the skin, mixing both is not a good idea. This can make the formula contained in the two products not work according to their original function.

Sunscreen consists of two variants, physical and chemical. Physical sunscreen blocks the sun's rays from the outside before they penetrate the skin. On the other hand, chemical sunscreen protects the skin from within because with the use of this sunscreen, the sun's rays can still penetrate the skin without damaging it. In terms of content, physical sunscreen contains ingredients such as titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. Meanwhile, chemical sunscreen contains avobenzone and octisalate.
