đŤ Myth: The SPF in my makeup is enough to protect me from the sun.
âď¸ Fact: Most people donât apply enough makeup to reach the SPF on the label! Youâd need a thick layerâfar more than youâd normally wearâto get full protection. Experts recommend always applying a separate, dedicated broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) as the last step of your skincare routine, before makeup.
Why isnât makeup SPF enough?
Amount matters: You need about 1/4 teaspoon of sunscreen for your face. Most people use a fraction of that with makeup.
Even coverage: Sunscreen ensures you cover every area evenly, which makeup canât guarantee.
Touch-ups: Sunscreen should be reapplied every 2 hoursârarely done with makeup alone.
đĄ Skin-Smart Tip:
Layer sunscreen under your makeup each morning, and use SPF-setting sprays or powders for reapplication during the day.
Stay protected and keep glowing! âď¸
