Hiya gals... my skin got overly dry and flakey/sensitive after my beach vacation... I was wondering, is it ok to put moisturizer like Rosehip oil/ facial spritzer with oils over sunblock during day time?  Will this degrade my sunblock? |

| Usually, I put my moisturizer first and wait about 15 minutes before adding sunscreen. |

| okay... i have a stupid question here. Do you girls always put sunscreen even tho it is cloudy out. I am tempted to not put sunscreen when it is cloudy out because I dot like how sunscreen does not really do anything to my face except shielding it from the sun. |

You need to wear sunscreen every day because UV radiation is not blocked by clouds. It also penetrates clothing and windows and causes damage even if you aren't getting a suntan/sunburn. Here's a quote from the skincancer.org website.
"Clouds and Haze. Though clouds keep much of the sun's heat (infrared radiation) from reaching the earth, they block as little as 20% of the harmful UV radiation. Anyone who has gotten a sunburn on a hazy day can attest to that. If you plan to be outdoors when it is overcast, cover up and apply sunscreen to all exposed skin." |

| I say go ahead and spritz, but then put some more sunscreen on for good measure. Can't be too careful... |

| I was actually wondering if it matters whether it is a physical block or a chemical block. Don't the chemical sunblocks need to be absorbed into the skin to work? If so, I was thinking that anything with oils might impede this. |
