Apply sunscreen to your face after cleansing and before you apply makeup for the day. Give your facial sunscreen a few minutes to dry before applying primer, foundation, or other cosmetic products to your face. Remember to reapply sunscreen regularly throughout the day, at least every two hours, or more often if sweating or getting wet. Use along with other sun protection measures and follow instructions on product packaging.

*For sun protection, use and reapply as directed. 

Note: Always use sunscreen in conjunction with other sun protection measures such as wearing sun protective clothing like hats, sunglasses, and long pants and long sleeves when possible. Reapply sunscreen at least every 2 hours, more often if sweating or getting wet. Follow directions for use on packaging and reapply regularly. 

As a general rule for facial sun protection, choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. For additional protection, you may wish to use SPF50 on your face. The higher the SPF, the higher percentage of UVB rays are screened. SPF 50 stops up to 98% of UVB rays. Note: while higher SPFs screen more of the sun’s UVB rays, no sunscreen can block 100% of the sun’s UVB rays. 

According to the FDA, the average-sized adult or child should use at least 1 oz. (approx. the size of a shot glass) of sunscreen to cover their whole body and face. This works out to approximately a nickel-sized amount on just the face². When applying sunscreen to your face, don’t forget to cover often-overlooked areas like your ears and lips. Read more tips on how much sunscreen to use on your face and how to properly apply it. 

While it’s important to wear sunscreen every day, it’s not a “one and done” solution to apply sunscreen once 15 minutes before sun exposure and assume you’ll be covered all day. If you’re spending time exposed to the sun, be sure to reapply your facial sunscreen at least once every 2 hours, reapplying more often if you’re sweating or getting wet. Be sure to use sunscreen in conjunction with other sun protection methods like wearing sunglasses and other sun protection clothing and accessories such as hats, long pants, and long sleeves. Follow the directions on your sunscreen’s packaging for further recommendations.
