The Art of Reapplying Sunscreen: How To Do It In The Easiest Way Possible

If you’re a skincare-obsessed girly like I am, then you’re wearing and reapplying your sunscreen 365 days a year, and not just during the summer. However, high temperatures, humid weather, and a ridiculous amount facial of sweating will all cause you to take your sunscreen game up a notch. So even if you’re not someone who regularly reapplies their sunscreen — this is the time to do it. But one question remains — how to do it in the most elegant way possible? Because let’s be real — it can be such a hassle. Especially if you’re someone who wears makeup on a daily basis. So if you want to learn everything about the art of reapplying sunscreen, then keep on reading.

Why Reapplying is Crucial

When it comes to protecting and maintaining the health of your skin, sunscreen can be your best friend, but it’s necessary to keep in mind that sunscreen requires application on a regular basis. Most sunscreens have a short life span of two hours or less, so as time passes, they will start to degrade and lose some of their effectiveness. This is why it’s essential to reapply sunscreen every few hours to keep up protection from UV rays.

Reapplying sunscreen can not only protect your skin but also keep the other skincare products you’re using working as effectively as possible. Reapplying sunscreen throughout the day helps to avoid sun damage and preserve the positive benefits of these products, as retinol and other anti-aging products might make your skin more sensitive to the sun.

Sunscreen Sticks

Sunscreen sticks are a great option for reapplication, especially if you’re on the go. They’re small and easy to carry in your purse, making them perfect for touch-ups throughout the day. Plus, they’re mess-free and won’t leave your hands feeling oily or greasy. Simply swipe the stick over the areas you want to protect, and you’re good to go!

Sunscreen Sprays

Are you a busy girl on the go and you just want something quick and easy? Or maybe you’re wearing a full face of makeup and you don’t want to get your glam ruined? In both situations, a sunscreen spray may be the best option for you. They’re convenient, mess-free, and can be applied quickly and easily. However, it’s important to make sure you’re using enough product and that you’re applying it correctly. To ensure proper coverage, hold the can 6-8 inches away from your skin and make sure that all of your exposed skin is evenly covered with the product.

Creams and a Damp Beauty Sponge

If you prefer using creams or lotions, a damp beauty sponge can be a game-changer. Using a damp beauty sponge will ensure that your application is even, while also keeping all of your other face products intact. This method also helps to blend the product into your skin, making it less noticeable and less likely to leave any streaks or patches. Work in small sections and apply small amounts of sunscreen at a time to ensure everything is evenly covered.
