Beauty Tips For Body Care
If you don't reapply, you basically aren't wearing sunscreen anymore after those two hours.I made a post asking for recommendations for a tinted sunscreen that is easy to reapply and doesn't make your skin tone darker when you reapply 2-3 times, and someone posted unaware that mineral sunscreens have to reapplied at all, thinking that was only chemical sunscreens.Chemical sunscreens and mineral sunscreens are the same in their need to be reapplied every 90-120 minutes. Their differences are just in how they protect you. Mineral SPF sits on top of your skin and works instantly, chemical SPF sinks in so it takes about 15 minutes to be effective.If you have SPF in your foundation but don't reapply any SPF products after two hours, you are no longer protected, so if you're looking for a product with sun protection in mind, make sure it looks good after reapplication. If you didn't care about the SPF in the foundation and just like it for the sake of the product, then no harm no foul.And a final word to the wise, you should not be using the "pea-sized" amount you use for serums for SPF. You should be using that amount on each quadrant of your face to achieve the full SPF protection marketed on the product. If you use less, you're likely getting less protection than the number on the bottle.Just thought I'd spread the word for the summer time in case anybody else fell through the cracks in terms of sunscreen knowledge.Happy Summer!
