To apply sunscreen evenly on your face, use the "three-finger method" (or a similar method to measure the correct amount) and dot the sunscreen across your face before blending it in.
Here's a breakdown of the process:
-
Measure the Right Amount: The referenced video segment describes measuring sunscreen by applying it from the base of your finger to the tip. Applying to one finger. From the base. To the tip. This helps ensure you're using enough sunscreen to adequately protect your skin. You can use a similar method to measure the right amount, using 3 fingers.
-
Dot the Sunscreen: Instead of applying a large blob of sunscreen to one area of your face, dot small amounts across your forehead, cheeks, nose, chin, and any other areas exposed to the sun. This helps to distribute the product more evenly and prevents clumping.
-
Blend Thoroughly: Gently blend the sunscreen into your skin using upward and outward motions. Be sure to cover all areas of your face, including your hairline, ears, and neck. Avoid rubbing too vigorously, as this can irritate your skin.
-
Wait Before Applying Makeup: Allow the sunscreen to fully absorb into your skin before applying makeup. This typically takes about 15-20 minutes. This allows the sunscreen to create a protective barrier and prevents it from mixing with your makeup.
