So it's my moisturiser, then sunscreen and then make-up? Wow, don't have time for all that! My mineral powder foundation is 15+. Does that count as sunscreen?

Sunscreen is very important as the sun is the biggest contributor to ageing

Yeah - it's good to get a definitive answer from a Specialist. I don't think it's too much of a hassle (for me anyway) - as I wait for skin products to soak in around brushing teeth, getting dressed etc...

I've always wondered which one goes first. But I'm confused as to when makeup should be applied--after skincare or after sunscreen?
