Hi everyone, i've notice recently i've gotten alot freckles/sunspots. I refuse to leave the house without any foundation because of all these sunspots and i know the only way to reduce them it putting on sunscreen. Is it ok to put sunscreen and then foundation on top? Would it be too much? Thanks!

Yes, it's OK - just remember the SPF of your foundation and sunscreen together are not additive, Whichever is the highest number is what your SPF protection is.
For example, I use a moisturizer with SPF 30, and a foundation SPF 15 - my total protection is SPF 30...

make sure your SPF coverage is good for BOTH UVA and UVB too...
most SPF is only indicative of the UVB coverage...

My favorite is DHC's White Sunscreen. It has an SPF 25 and protects from UVA/UVB rays. It is one of the most lightweight formulas I have found and it has a nice light fragrance going on but disappears once it absorbs. It also does not get that funny smell that some sunscreens do during the day. It has other great benefits. I've included a link so that you can take a look. I highly recommend it.

My mom makes me use something by Shiseido and it's super high SPF. anything that won't clog your pores and has a decent spf number if you're exposed a lot, will do
I've been very happy with MAC Prep + Prime with SPF 50. I put that on, and my tinted moisturizer on top, then the rest of my face!
