Looking for the best sunscreen for your face always go for a broad-spectrum sunscreen as they are designed to protect you from both UVA and UVB rays. While the former may cause wrinkling and premature ageing, the latter is responsible for sunburns, discolouration. and in severe cases, skin cancer. And, yes, there is an order to how you apply your sunscreen. 

You should always apply a chemical sunscreen first to let it penetrate the skin in to provide protection. A physical sunscreen, also known as mineral sunscreen, however, should be applied after moisturizer and serums and before any makeup. 

You can mix two different physical sunscreens, but it's not advisable to mix two different chemical sunscreens. 

A good habit is to layer sunscreens to ensure that the amount of sunscreen suffices to protect your skin from the UVA and UVB rays that causes sun damage. 

I have had questions about the necessity of using moisturizer before applying sunscreens. It's fine to apply sunscreen without moisturizer. The reason many use both moisturizer and sunscreen is that there are matte-based sunscreens that makes the skin look dry. By applying both, you avoid this. 

Many wonders if they need to wear sunscreen when they are indoors. The simple answer is yes. UVA can penetrate glass and can deeply penetrate your skin, giving rise to aging, wrinkling, loss of elasticity, and even skin cancer. So, even if it seems counterintuitive, apply sunscreen all day, every day, inside or outside!
