What are the benefits of using a face sunscreen?

Using sunscreen daily may help protect your skin from the potential effects of UV rays. Facial sunscreen can play a role in helping reduce the risk of sun damage and may assist in minimising visible signs of photoaging, such as wrinkles and dark spots.

Regular application of sunscreen may help create a protective barrier that may contribute to skin health and support a smoother-looking appearance. Daily use may also provide ongoing protection against environmental stressors that may affect the delicate skin on your face.

But it’s important to note, no sunscreen provides 100% protection. Facial sunscreens should be used in conjunction with other sun protection measures, such as seeking shade, wearing protective clothing, hats, and sunglasses.

How often should you use face sunscreen?

Face sunscreen should be applied daily as part of your skincare routine, regardless of the weather. Reapply every two hours if you’re outdoors, swimming or sweating. Regular application may help provide ongoing protection against UVA and UVB rays, which can contribute to skin damage even on cloudy days. It’s important to always read the label, follow the directions for use, and avoid prolonged sun exposure.

Can you wear face sunscreen under makeup?

Many face sunscreens are lightweight, which may make them suitable for layering under makeup by helping your foundation or tinted moisturiser apply evenly. 

Some facial sunscreens include ingredients like hyaluronic acid, which may help maintain hydration throughout the day. For a shine-free look, opt for sunscreens with a matte finish or try tinted formulas. Always read the label and follow the directions for use.

Is face sunscreen suitable for all skin types?

Face sunscreen is available in various formulations to suit different skin types. Whether your skin is dry, sensitive, oily or acne-prone, some options may cater to your specific needs.

When selecting a facial sunscreen, look for one that suits your skin type and activity level and is easy to reapply. If you have sensitive skin, opt for fragrance-free products or consult your healthcare professional. If you prefer minimal residue on your hands, consider a gel formula.

When going outside. it’s important to choose a facial sunscreen with at least SPF50 or SPF50+, broad-spectrum, and water-resistant properties. Always check the product’s expiry date, follow storage recommendations on the label, and avoid prolonged sun exposure. A facial sunscreen should always be used in conjunction with other sun protection measures such as protective clothing, hats, and sunglasses.

Regular sunscreen vs facial sunscreen

Facial sunscreens may be specially formulated to meet the unique needs of the delicate skin on your face. Unlike regular sunscreens, designed for broader body use, facial sunscreens contain ingredients that may support hydration and suit sensitive skin.

Always read the label and follow the directions for use. It’s also important to remember that no sunscreen provides 100% protection.
