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.

Such combinations are especially helpful if you live in areas with strong sunlight, common across India, or spend a lot of time outdoors. Adding the right serum for face to your daily routine gives your skin an extra layer of care, like a dependable 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.
