How to re-apply Sunscreen???

Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours when you’re outdoors, and sooner after swimming, sweating, or towel-drying. You don’t need to wash your face each timejust gently blot excess sweat/oil and reapply an even layer.

For example, I’ve found it easier to keep a sunscreen like Clari Cosmetics handy so reapplication becomes part of the routine rather than something you forget.

The main thing is applying enough and reapplying consistently, especially during prolonged sun exposure.

Reapply sunscreen about every 2 hours when you’re outdoors, and always after swimming, sweating or towel-drying. Don’t forget your ears, neck and hands too.

For an easy everyday option, Clari Cosmetics can be worked into your routine—just apply a generous, even layer and reapply as needed.

Tip:If you’re wearing makeup, gently blot oil/sweat first before touching up sunscreen.

usually reapply sunscreen every 2 hours when I’m outside, and straight after swimming or heavy sweating. I find it easiest to gently blot my skin first, then apply a fresh layer. Keeping my Clari Cosmetics sunscreen with me makes remembering to reapply much easier. The important part is using enough product and not skipping those reapplications during extended sun exposure.

wow..really thanks for your replies..

Another vote for the Peter Thomas Roth powder sunscreen, its soooo handy, it has a retractable brush and its great for applying sunscreen when you already have make up on!! Love it.

I think the reapplication every 2-4 hours would be for anyone in direct sunlight. However if you are inside working in an office etc for the day, you could probably get away with the spf makeup products just when you are planning on stepping outside. Probably best to just use minimal makeup if you are outside, like at the beach where you need to reapply your sunscreen regularly, something like the Invisible Zinc Tinted Daywear is perfect for a makeup/sunscreen combo that I would use and easily reapply if I were off to indulge in outdoor leisure, and leave the full face of makeup for indoor affairs 🙂

good question raised! i’m mostly indoors during the day and only need sunscreen protection in the morning and in the afternoon. using a face powder with SPF is a very smart way to keep the skin protected from the sun!

I’ve always wondered how I’m meant to reapply sunscreen if I have make up on? Even if the make up has SPF (usually only goes up to 15) you still need to reapply sunscreen every 2-4 hours, and I don’t think a swipe of face powder would be enough (and imagine having to reapply powder every 2 hours! Your face would crumble….!!)

I carry peter thomas roth’s instant mineral SPF 30 with me as its in a powder form and I just sweep it over my makeup. It doesn’t alter the way my makeup looks at all, and is great because it fits perfectly in my hand bag and it ensures that i am protected from the sun at any time of the day.

OK – I had just removed some posts where I suggested you may be promoting this site for some reason, as I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt. But this is at least the 4th post I’ve come across today with you promoting the Beauty Club site… Suspicious much?

I wrote that review, my apologies, I should have just pasted my review here instead.

No worries, it just seemed like a lot of posts with links to the Beauty Club. There’s been some spamming on this site before and I just wondered.

I understand. I only get to come on here when I have a sick day so i go a bit nuts putting my two cents in as I LOVE everything beauty. But i also shop from skinstore.com, benefit.com, asos.com (for NARS), clinique.com.au and of course myer/DJ’s. I also go crazy on clothes forums with my favourite websites (vogue forum). But beauty wise, i find the conversation to be a lot better on BH and members really know their stuff.

Nothing wrong with sharing the love between the sites, and good to hear of others that are useful. Enjoy your day and sorry for being a suspicious meanie when you are not well! 🙂
