Do you know how to get the best sun protection out of these products?
Fact: Daily sunscreen application is a must because it’s one of the easiest things you can do to protect yourself against damaging UV rays, while also helping to slow down skin ageing.
Here are five things you need to know about keeping your skin well-protected against the sun and how to get the most out of your sunscreen stick.When it comes to applying your sunscreen, it’s important that you’re applying enough of it. This means approximately two finger-lengths for the face, said Dr Rachel Ho, aesthetic doctor and medical director of LA Clinic.
In other words, err on the side of caution and give your face more passes with your sunscreen stick than fewer.In addition, Dr Ho also added that it would be better to choose a sunscreen stick that has “an oily, clumpy texture to avoid the sunstick from coming off your face; as a good number of passes are required”.
And because you won’t want to mix dirt and sweat with your sunscreen, don’t forget to clean your skin first with a cleansing wipe, where possible, before re-applying your sunscreen, said Dr Ho. “Conventional sunscreen lotions are perhaps the easiest for you to apply the correct amount. For sprays, mists and cushion compacts, it can be hard to estimate, and you can potentially use less than required, ending up with less protection,” explained Dr Ho.
