How do you refresh your sunscreen during day

So im a avid sunscreen wearer daily but I also wear makeup daily.

As sunscreen mainly has a wear life of four hours. . how does everyone refresh their sunscreen during the day without redoing makeup ..

I go out in sun for lunch and afternoon but worry im not protected.

I’ve started using the color science physical protect powder. I do a dusting over makeup and it gives protection and different colours. PTR also has one spf 40.

Tips/ tricks? Ideas

    I think there are powder zinc sun screens available on line. Good to top up during the day over make up.

    Actually I do agree with you. Im a big believer in a hat some times I think its just better for you.

    I’ve been wanting to try physical sunscreen for a while – just since I don’t wear powder all the time or foundation – worried will look rather geisha! lol
    Has anyone tried natural sunscreens – just bought one – lower spf but less chemicals… .hope it works

    I’m very interested to try the Color science physical protect powder, as this is a dilemma I have wondered about also. I have had skin cancer and can’t take chances. Of course the most important thing is not just sunscreen but also a good hat, but any sunlight that reflects onto our faces underneath a hat, can still cause sun damage.
    The first layer of sunscreen needs to be applied to bare skin I have been told, but if we put makeup over this that is OK, and we can also reapply more sunscreen over the makeup if necessary.

    Not sure that all sunscreen has a life of four hours?. My understanding of it is that UV filter sunscreens will require topping up more regularly than physical sunscreens. I use a physical sunscreen and it seems to work all day pretty much , admittedly i havent stayed at the beach all day.

    Thanks Krisb. I actually have the it cosmetics cc cream. Good suggestion.
    Do you just reapply over top? Would be keen to hear how you do it?

    I’ve been using the IT cosmetics CC cream- sephora- SPF 50 – physical – can touch up during the day. LOVE ❤️ IT.

    Well clinique have released a mineral powder foundation all physical with spf 45 that im keen to look at. It might apply well over the foundation during the day. Only comes in a couple colours.

    I love the idea of sunscreen sprays but i only want physical they are all chemical sigh

    There’s also now a mineral day face fluid from clinique too with only physical spf. Comes in 30 & 50

    Following….I don’t wear makeup but use a physical suncream and only apply in the mornings…

    I usually use my IOPE cushion (SPF50+/PA+++) to touch up midway through the day. Otherwise I always have a tube of Biore UV sunscreen in my clutch.

      Thanks for the tips duality and ethelinde. Ill have to look into these cushions and Korean fresh up products.

      I was sure physical lasted longer Duality. Im still a bit worried especially walking in sun after work finishes. Summer afternoons can be a bit deceiving. Im sure my sweating during the day makes me less protected lol.
      Ive worked hard on my pigmentation so must try to not get it back again.
