Just wondering when applying both a moisturizer and sunblock during daytime, what should be applied first the moisturizer or the sunblock? I have received conflicting information on this topic.

Yes, moisturizer first as some sunscreens may be too drying so moisturizer preventing it.

true. i apply moisturizer first, let dry and wait a few minutes. and then apply sunblock.

If oil makes you look darker should i discontinue olive oil after my hq... i usually use it after the HQ but before the SUNBLOCK.. should i be using a normal moisturizer? This is for the daytime regimine.

If you can buy a proper moisturizer from the store or online then why are you using kitchen items on your face? Use a normal moisturizer.

Well, there is my answer

I don't know... I just thought olive oil was very good for your skin. I used it before I used Hq/Ra and have never had any problems... But with the regimine ill start using actual moisturizer.. Thanks!

Hi LNL, I am a big fan of Olive Oil. I eat it daily in my home made dressings, I also put a 1/4 cup in my bath water as well as saturate my hair in it for conditioning. In your opinion is Olive Oil not good for the skin and hair?

no its great for skin and hair, im just saying that if you can use a moisturizer for ur face during the day instead of using kitchen olive oil, then why not?

I will start using a good moisturizer instead tonight.. i wasn't using the olive oil on my face i was using it on my body. I use a moisturizing sunblock on my face... but either way i trust you... you haven't told me wrong yet.

I watched Dr. Oz the other day and he recommended a 1/4 cup of olive oil in your bath water useing a loofah and a very mild natural soap and ending with a good moistureizer......I am hooked and my skin feels fabulous! My hair too loves the olive oil!

I use olive oil on my hair as well. Doing so for about 3 years, and as a result I have well mositurized long african american hair.

I swear Olive Oil is the perfect moistureizer from head to toe. My hair has strengtherned and is so much softer.. Have you tried putting it in your bath water? Love It!
