You may be wearing a moisturizer or foundation with SPF, but is it providing enough protection? According to dermatologists it’s likely NOT. This is because people tend to apply less SPF moisturizers to important and sensitive areas on the face because moisturizers tend to be more watery and less thick compared to sunscreens, leading people to use less product. So what should you do now with your skincare and makeup routine? It’s recommended that when in doubt, do...uble up on products! Apply a high SPF sunscreen as your base layer and then makeup with SPF on top; or vice versa with SPF moisturizers. Another great option is to use mineral makeup with SPF for touch-ups.
