Hi Vonvon,

it doesn’t really matter what product is on top, it is the SPF rating that counts. The level of protection you get is that of the product with the highest SPF you used. So if you apply moisturizer with SPF 30 and foundation with SPF 15, the SPF you get is 30. That is because it is the highest SPF product you used.
Hope this was clearer. If you have more questions, just let me know

Myth #1. I only learned the truth on that recently at my Clinique consultation. But isn't it that only the top most layer of the SPf counts? For example, moisturiser with SPF 30, foundation with SPF 15 on top of the moisturiser, net SPF would be only 15? I am still a little confused on this. Hope you can help me clarify this.

Dao: that is a great and useful tip, thank you!

Nikki: thanks hun, you’re so sweet. I’m glad you found it helpful.

Nicola: thanks! Finding the right sunscreen can be hard. I like physical ones but they can leave a white cast. Hope you find a great one!

prettybeautiful: it’s easy to forget to wear sunscreen if the weather is bad. But you can always use a foundation or sunscreen with SPF, they give some protection too

Lydia: that’s good I wish more people realised that they can get a tan even when protected by a high SPF sunscreen.
