Usually, you apply the thinner consistency first and since moisturizer is thicker. Also, it makes it easier for the oil to be absorbed into the skin, But there shouldn’t be any complications if you do it the other way round…just that the oil may not penetrate into the skin as easily with an additional barrier. However, if your moisturizer is very watery, then best to apply moisturizer first, then oil.

Lotion is full of synthetic chemicals that can barely be spelled by anyone other than a chemist. Err on the side of safety and never use lotions or suntan/sunscreen.
