The recommended amount of sunscreen to use on your face is around 1/4 teaspoon. This may seem small, but it's crucial for adequate coverage and protection.
Here's a breakdown of how to ensure proper application:
- Divide your face: Think of your face in sections: left and right cheek, nose, chin, forehead. Apply a pea-sized amount to each section and blend thoroughly.
- Don't forget your ears and neck: Your ears and the front of your neck are also vulnerable to sun damage. Apply a generous amount to these areas as well.
- Reapply every two hours: Sunscreen effectiveness diminishes over time, so reapplying every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating, is essential.
Remember: Applying too little sunscreen can significantly reduce its effectiveness, leaving your skin vulnerable to harmful UV rays.
