Looking to shield your skin from the sun and keep that youthful glow? Mastering the art of applying sunscreen is crucial for ensuring your skin gets the ultimate protection. Layering your skincare and makeup isn’t just a routine—it’s a game-changer. Maybe you caught my skintalk with Hadia about acne? She emphasized, “UV rays are sneaky, even in winter. They might not show now, but down the road, you’ll spot sun-induced changes. Vitamin D is great, but constant exposure isn’t. My aunt defies her age—her secret? SUNSCREEN.”
The correct way for layering both make-up and SPF
Here’s the lowdown on how to layer makeup and SPF for maximum effect:
- For top-notch sun defense, start with clean skin. Wash up, slap on your regular moisturizer,
- then generously apply sunscreen evenly.
- Let it dry before makeup so it stays put and doesn’t play tag with your foundation.
Patch test the product before buying
Before splurging on a new product, pause for a sec! The thrill of a new buy can sometimes lead to regret. The internet’s full of FOMO and ads, but don’t rush. Patch-test new products to avoid any unwelcome skin drama. If irritation strikes, ditch the product.
Haven’t dipped your toes into the sunscreen pool yet? Allow me to recommend the Aloe Soothing Sun Cream—it’s my current go-to. Not only does it even out your skin tone, but it’s a sun fortress. Psst, I get a little somethin’ if you purchase the product through my link.
Don’t forget to add sunscreen areas other than your face.
Don’t leave out spots other than your face—your neck, arms, and any sun-exposed skin need love, too.
Also, the most common mistake people make when applying sunscreen is not using enough. Don’t be stingy with it.
And remember, sunscreen isn’t eternal. Check that expiration date for the right shield against those rays.
