I would not add anything (oil, moisturizer, etc) directly to a sunscreen. You are diluting the active SS ingredients and lowering protection.
I add apply your moisturizer (oil, etc) first and let it absorb. Then apply your sunscreen. |

| If your going to use oil first, do like Autumn1995 suggests and wait before applying sunscreen. I would wait at least 5 minutes. 10-15 minutes even better. Just be sure it is noticeably absorbed. |

I actually think you can apply an oil or moisturiser underneath a physical sunscreen. However, doesn't Elta MD contain Octinoxate? This is a chemical sunscreen and needs to be applied to bare skin to be absorbed.
Perhaps another zinc only spf? Invisible Zinc's Environmental Skin Protector spf 30, for instance, is great; as is, Suntegrity's Zinc-based range (this already contains hydrating oils).
Speaking of which, if you do add oils, go for pomegranate and red raspeberry seed oil which provide further spf benefits.
HTH! |
