Correct application of sunscreen is essential for optimal protection against the harmful effects of UV rays. Here is a step-by-step usage guide for SkinCeuticals Sheer Mineral UV Defense Sunscreen:
1. Cleansing: Start by cleansing your face to remove dirt, oil and makeup. Use a mild detergent and then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
2. Toner (optional): If you use a toner in your routine, apply it after cleansing and let it absorb completely.
3. Serums and Moisturizers: Before applying sunscreen, apply your usual serums or moisturizers first. Wait a moment so that these products can fully penetrate the skin.
4. Apply sunscreen: Shake the bottle of SkinCeuticals Sheer Mineral UV Defense Sunscreen well before use. Apply a generous amount to all exposed areas of the face and neck. It is important to use enough product; most people don't apply enough sunscreen, which reduces its effectiveness. A general rule is to use a teaspoon of sunscreen on the face and neck.
5. Spread evenly: Gently rub the sunscreen in in circular motions until completely absorbed. Avoid direct contact with the eyes.
6. Wait Before Exposure: Ideally, wait about 15 minutes after applying sunscreen before going outside to give the skin time to absorb the product.
7. Repeat: If you swim or sweat, or are outside for a long time, repeat application every 2 hours. It is essential to reapply regularly for continued protection.
Remember that while sunscreen is important, you should also take other protective measures, such as wearing a hat, sunglasses and protective clothing, and seeking shade during peak sun hours. Download hi
