Starting a skincare routine in Kenya and wondering whether moisturiser or sunscreen goes first? The simple answer is: apply moisturiser first, then sunscreen. For a basic morning routine, remember this order: cleanse, moisturise, protect.
Step 1: Start with cleansing
Cleanse your face and rinse thoroughly before applying your moisturiser.
Step 2: Apply your moisturiser
Apply moisturiser to your face and neck and gently massage until absorbed. The Uncover Mini Argan Hydrating Moisturiser 30ml is a compact option for this step, whether you are getting ready at home or packing your skincare for a trip.
This is the 30ml mini, not the full-size 100ml tube. Moisturiser helps with hydration, but it does not replace sunscreen.
Step 3: Finish with sunscreen
Apply sunscreen after moisturiser as the final skincare step in your morning routine. The Uncover Mini Aloe Invisible Sunscreen SPF 50+ 40ml is a broad-spectrum sunscreen in a portable mini tube, not the full-size 80ml version.
Apply it generously and evenly over your face and neck 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply every two hours and follow the directions on the tube, including instructions for swimming or sweating.
Can I mix moisturiser and sunscreen?
Keep them as separate steps: apply your moisturiser, let it absorb, then apply sunscreen evenly. Follow each product’s instructions rather than combining the two in your hand.
Does the routine change at night?
For a simple evening routine, cleanse and then moisturise. Sunscreen is not needed as a nighttime skincare step.
Which Uncover mini belongs in each step?
The Argan Hydrating Moisturiser 30ml is your moisturising step. The Aloe Invisible Sunscreen SPF 50+ 40ml is your morning sun-protection step. Their smaller tubes are convenient to carry, but the sunscreen should still be applied generously according to its label.
Keep the order simple: cleanser, moisturiser, sunscreen in the morning; cleanser, moisturiser in the evening. Refer to the tubes for the complete ingredient lists and directions.
