We know a lot of sun worshippers who use the same sunscreen for their bodies as on their faces.
Maybe you've tried that and broken out in zits. So you skip the sunscreen and just put on foundation, hoping that this makeup layer would be enough to protect you from those harsh summer rays.
Well, the skin experts out there can't stress enough that sunscreen is a MUST, on the face + body.
Neutrogena has a great light facial suncreen that does the job. And it won't cause break-outs:
Neutrogena Clear Face Break-Out Free Liquid-Lotion Sunblock SPF 30 ($11.99, at Walgreens). This one has a very good SPF at 30 and is oil-free and NOT greasy. It comes in liquid lotion form. And it's also fine for sun protection on the body.
Nashville star Hayden Panettiere, a Neutrogena spokesperson also LOVES this stuff:
"Always wear a daily moisturizer with built in SPF — even when it is cloudy," she says. "I love the Neutrogena Clear Face sunscreen ($12) because I always break out from sunscreen, but you don’t want to end up with a sunburn and your skin peeling off."
Now, here are some tips to wear sunscreen with makeup:
1. Apply the sunscreen FIRST. Put on a thin layer, about 1/4 tsp. for the face. Allow it to soak in and dry.
2. Then put on your foundation as usual. And if your makeup has an SPF, even better. You're good to go!
