Vitamin C Before Sunscreen: The Skincare Step That Doubles Your Protection

Vitamin C Before Sunscreen: The Skincare Step That Doubles Your Protection

We’ve all heard about sunscreen being a must, but here’s a little skincare trick that takes your protection game up a notch. It’s called layering Vitamin C before sunscreen. Sounds simple, right? But this one extra step can make a big difference in how your skin handles sun exposure, pollution, and even early signs of ageing.

Using Vitamin C before sunscreen is pretty much the norm now, and for good reason, it gives your skin that extra shield against daily damage. Here’s why.

Why Vitamin C and Sunscreen Make a Power Combo

Vitamin C is like your skin’s personal bodyguard. It fights off damage caused by UV rays, pollution, and free radicals. Now pair that with a good SPF and you’ve got a solid defence team working around the clock.

Using Vitamin C with SPF helps your sunscreen work better. While SPF blocks UV rays from entering the skin, Vitamin C neutralises the ones that slip through. That means fewer chances of pigmentation, sunspots, and dullness creeping in.

This combo is especially helpful if you live in a place with harsh sunlight basically anywhere in India or spend a lot of time outdoors. It’s like giving your skin a backup plan.

How to Layer Vitamin C and Sunscreen the Right Way

There’s a bit of confusion about how to layer Vitamin C and sunscreen, but it’s actually pretty straightforward. Here’s a quick step-by-step to help you get it right.

Step 1: Cleanse
Always start with clean skin. Use a gentle face wash that doesn’t strip away moisture. 

Step 2: Apply Vitamin C Serum
Take a few drops of Deyga’s 10% Vitamin C Face Serum and gently pat it onto your skin. Let it absorb fully. Don’t rush this step.

Step 3: Moisturise
Use a light moisturiser. Yes, hydration is super important!

Step 4: Sunscreen Comes Last
Finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen. Make sure you use enough to cover your face and neck properly.

That’s it. Four simple steps and you’ve got your skin protected and glowing.

A Quick Tip for Daily Use

If you’re new to Vitamin C, start with a mild concentration. Look for products with 10 to 15 percent Vitamin C. The goal is to strengthen your skin barrier, not overwhelm it. And always store your serum in a cool, dark place to keep it fresh.

Also, stick with this routine consistently. Using Vitamin C before sunscreen once or twice won’t do much. But making it a part of your daily skincare can seriously boost long-term results.
