Wearing sunscreen and makeup
Sunscreen and foundation have traditionally been arch enemies in the first place, with old formulas leading to white cast, breakouts, and product splitting on the skin. It’s no wonder that unfortunately many of us have shunned wearing sunscreen under our makeup with crappy results like these. We have good news though, thanks to the creation of some of the new innovative best sunscreens in Australia available right now!
How often do I really need to re-apply my sunscreen?
Did you know that technically you should re-apply your sunscreen every two hours or so? If you’re at the beach, this can be pretty easy to do. But how does it work when you’re wearing a full face of makeup at the office? Realistically, we bet that the majority of people are simply skipping the re-application step because they don’t want to ruin their makeup or have to re-do it every few hours.
What is a sunscreen spray?
Like the name suggests, it’s essentially SPF in a spray bottle version. But not all sunscreen sprays are created equally! The one from Ultra Violette, a chic sunscreen company from Australia, have designed theirs specifically to use over makeup. Genius! It’s a superfine, lightweight mist that not only feels amazing on your skin and provides SPF50+ protection, it also imparts a soft, subtle glow.
How to use sunscreen spray?
Sunscreen sprays are designed to be used all day, every day! Besides your initial sunscreen application in the morning, keep this in your handbag when you’re out and about so you’re never left without protection.
It’s super quick and simple to use an SPF spray. Remember to shake the bottle well before use and spray directly to your face right over your makeup (or your skincare if you don’t wear makeup). It should be used as the final step of your skincare regime. Of course, sunscreen use is just one part of overall sun safety and it’s important to avoid prolonged high-risk sun exposure, plus, wear a hat, protective clothing and sunglasses when exposed to the sun.
