Regardless of the type of skin you have and the facial care routine you carry out, there is a mandatory rule every day of the year in any skincare treatment: the application of sunscreen. The sunscreen is the product that, in addition to protecting you from the damage of solar radiation, is the anti-aging cosmetic par excellence. The passage of time is marked on our skin in the form of wrinkles and solar radiation is possibly the greatest accelerator of premature skin aging. “80% of premature skin aging is due to unprotected sun exposure” is stated in this report from La Vanguardia.

Now, it is not enough to apply sunscreen once a day. It is convenient to reapply it, at least every two hours, if we are in a period of high sun exposure and high radiation to make sure that our skin is fully protected. Doubts about reapplication begin when, in addition to sunscreen, we have other cosmetics or makeup on our faces. How is it possible to reapply sunscreen if I have makeup on my face? There is a simple and effective way.

If your skin is without makeup, reapplication is simple. You simply have to reapply the sunscreen approximately every two hours on your skin and that’s it. The problem resides when we are made up and it is time to reapply the protector. In this sense, from Farmacia Senante they give us the keys to do it correctly: “The ideal would be to clean the skin and reapply a layer of sun protection again.” Aware of the impossibility of performing this cleaning on most occasions, they ensure that the best option would be “the use of a facial mist”.

A facial sun mist could be defined as a transparent sunscreen in a spray format that has two fundamental characteristics: it can be applied on top of makeup and it is quickly absorbed, which makes it easy to apply. This option is ideal if you need a solar reapplication away from home quickly but, at the same time, effectively.

In addition to applying sunscreen every day, it is necessary to wear sunglasses and a hat when we carry out any activity outside and with high solar radiation. It is also convenient to hydrate properly by drinking at least two liters of water a day and avoid going out during the hours of most sun exposure.
