Thread: Primer before of after sunscreen?

My thinking is that primer is usually a barrier between your skin/skincare and your makeup. If you apply your sunscreen last it won't absorb very well into your skin because the primer is blocking it's absorbsion. I know a physical sunscreen is just that, it's a physical barrier, but so is primer.

I've read both sides of this argument in various articles by dermatologists. Supposely sunscreens are most effective when applied as the last step in our routine, so they don't get buried or covered up by other products and lessen their protection of the skin. I personally think the reasoning of chemical suncreens going on first while physical sunscreens going on last makes most sense but I also haven't confirmed that with my...

I just posted on the Isomers site today, and the rep there told me primer first sunscreen on top. I'll probably just skip the foundation.
