Pro tips for using sunscreen

1) Reapply every 2 to 3 hours.

A high SPF does not guarantee long-lasting UV protection. Reapply frequently regardless of the SPF. Also, keep on hand sunscreens labeled as waterproof, sandproof, or water-resistant. These ingredients are characterized by long-lasting UV protection even with a single application. They are ideal for use at the beach, swimming pool, or when frequent reapplication is difficult.

2) Apply 30 minutes before going out.

During the summer, I apply sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. I tend to stick to the application time, as applying it 30 minutes before going out increases the effectiveness of UV protection. Before applying sunscreen, I provide sufficient moisturizing care using products containing the antioxidant ingredients Vitamins C and E.

3) Apply a small amount thinly several times.

I never skip applying sunscreen, even when going out nearby. I tend to apply small amounts multiple times rather than a large amount at once. Estée Lauder's Cyber ​​White UV Defense SPF 30 is an essential item in my pouch that I carry around and apply on the go.

4) Triple UV protection all year round

Use a base product with UV protection all year round, and apply sunscreen before base in the summer. Use concealer on areas prone to freckles.

5) Use products from a reliable company with a high blocking index.

I consider sunscreen to be the most important part of skincare, so I am meticulous when selecting one. I unconditionally trust L'Oréal sunscreens, which are famous for their accumulated technology in UV protection and photoaging solutions. Among them, I frequently use La Roche-Posay's Uvidea and L'Oréal Paris's UV Perfect. When applying sunscreen to my face, I make sure to cover it thoroughly, even down to my earlobes and jawline. I never skip applying it to areas exposed to UV rays, such as my arms, legs, and collarbone. Since sunscreen tends to rub off easily on the sides of my nose due to excessive sweating and sebum production, I carry a stick-type product with me to reapply. For my lips, I apply a lip treatment or gloss that offers UV protection.
