When do I need to wear sunscreen?

You should wear it at all times, but especially if you will be outdoors, even if it is an overcast day.

How much facial sunscreen should I apply?

To protect exposed skin on both the face and body, apply sunscreen generously until it is about the amount found in a shot glass. It is recommended to apply sunscreen to dry skin at least 15 minutes before heading outdoors. Sunscreen should be applied onto dry skin and rubbed in thoroughly.

What does SPF mean?

SPF (Sun Protection Factor) correlates to the sunscreen’s ability to block UVB rays. An SPF 30 blocks roughly 97% of the UVB rays with higher SPFs block slightly more. This number does not correlate to how often a sunscreen needs to be reapplied.

What is the recommended level of SPF sun protection for daily wear?

The American Academy of Dermatology recommends a minimum SPF 30 or higher for daily use.

How Long Does Sunscreen Last?

The protection of sunscreen lasts about two hours, which is why dermatologists and FDA recommend reapplying after that.

Can I wear sunscreen under makeup?

Yes – and you should! For underneath makeup choose a non-greasy, non-shiny sunscreen without a white cast. Our UV Expert Sunscreen Defense SPF 50 Primer + Moisturizer is an all-in-one, oil-free face primer and moisturizer with SPF 50 and quickly and easily blends into the skin for an invisible look with no white residue or shiny finish.

What is the best way to reapply sunscreen?

You should reapply sunscreen every 2 hours or immediately after swimming or sweating. A great option for reapplying sunscreen to your face without disturbing your makeup is to use a tinted moisturizer with sunscreen.
