As soon as summer approaches, our phones get filled up with endless posts and reels saying we should purchase sunscreen and why it is non-negotiable. But none of them tell you how to apply sunscreen on face and body. Whether you’re heading to the beach, work, or a brunch date, applying sunscreen should be your habit.
In this blog, you will explore why Barelyon Sunscreen SPF 50 is the right choice for your skin and what the right procedure is to follow for your non-sticky sunscreen for face and skincare routine.
Sunscreen Application
When was the last time you used a sunscreen that was dermatologically recommended? Do you know how much you put on? If you answered this question and you don't know the answer to either questions that preceded it, you may be putting your skin at risk for sunburns, tans, and an increased risk of skin cancer.
How to Apply Sunscreen on Face and Body – The Right Way
Here’s a quick, easy guide:
1. Apply it before you go outside
Sunscreen isn’t instant. It takes about 15–20 minutes to start working. Always apply it before stepping out, not once you’re already in the sun.
2. Use enough product
The right amount matters. For your face and neck, use about a nickel-sized dollop. For your entire body, about one shot glass worth (approx. 30ml) is ideal.
3. Don’t forget the ‘easy-to-miss’ zones
Hairline, ears, neck, hands, back of the knees, yes, they all need SPF too! These are often forgotten and end up showing early signs of damage.
4. Reapply every 2–3 hours
Sunscreen doesn't last all day. Reapply every two hours if you're swimming, perspiring, or outside. Your sunscreen will ultimately wear off, even if it is water-resistant.
5. Apply even on cloudy days and indoors
Unexpectedly, you can still be exposed to UV radiation via windows and on overcast days. Even if you work from home, you still need to wear sunscreen every day.
Choosing the Right Sunscreen: What to Look For
While you’re searching for the best sunscreen for oily skin. You should consider a few necessary factors to make sure you make the right purchase.
SPF number should be 50 or higher
Look for Broad-spectrum protection (UVA + UVB)
The texture of sunscreen should be Non-sticky & lightweight
The feature of Non-comedogenic so that it doesn't clog your pores
If you have oily or acne-prone skin, then the last thing you want is a greasy texture on your face with endless sweating that causes acne and breakouts. Choose a non-sticky sunscreen for your face that will blend with your skin and leave no white cast.
