SPF: How much should you apply?

Posted by Atmosphera Beauty on

You might not carry a syringe or measuring spoon in your vanity bag, but you can gauge the amount of sunscreen you’re applying to your face by using your hands.

For the face, a common guideline is to use about two-finger lengths of sunscreen for maximum protection.⁠

Apply sunscreen at least 15 minutes before sun exposure to allow it to be absorbed into the skin properly.⁠

Reapplying your sunscreen is just as important as your first application. Especially if sweating or exposed to water.

Wearing sunscreen on your face is a critical step in preventing short and long-term sun damage, including burns and skin cancer. Reach for a mineral sunscreen with a SPF 40-50 for best protection.
