Moisturizer is essentially a mixture of oil and water. It's supposed to attract and retain water in the outer level of your skin to give you that youthful glow. Moisturizers are best applied after cleaning or washing the skin.
Sunscreens can be used to reduce evaporation caused by sun exposure. First, apply sunscreen, let it be absorbed by the skin and then add the moisturizer last.
