Knowing the exact amount of sunscreen to use on your face is not always easy. Here is a dermato tip so as not to be mistaken.
We can never repeat it enough: on a daily basis, it is essential to apply sunscreen on your face (and your hands). It is spread out as the last stage of the beauty routine, after the moisturizer and just before applying makeup. This gesture helps protect the skin from UVB rays (those responsible for sunburn), but also UVAs which cause premature skin aging. But now, it is not always easy to know the right amount to use: not enough and it is ineffective; Too much, and we find ourselves quickly with the whitish face. Fortunately for us, a dermatologist shared his tip so that he no longer makes the mistake. The good news? It is extremely simple to reproduce at home!
First of all, it is essential to bring a sunscreen with fairly high protection. Professionals recommend a SPF30 at least, but the Grail is obviously a SPF50. “”The exact quantity to reach the right protection of your sunscreen is 2 milligrams of cream per square centimeter of skin, but it’s too complicated to remember“Explains Dr. Rachel Nazarian, dermatologist, to the British version of Glamor. Instead, she first offers a line of sunscreen on the index and the middle finger in order to have a good dose, then spread it on his face. This is about a half-coffee half.”The rule of two fingers can help you effectively protect your face with sunscreen, without bothering you too much“, Continue the professional. The good news? This tip works both to go to the office and for a day at the beach!
Obviously, it is important to reapply sun protection regularly, especially if you spend the day outside. In this case, Dr. Nazarian thus advises a SPF every two hours. Exceptions? If you sweat a lot, or if you get your face. To forget, the two -hour rule, it then becomes imperative to put it right away. You are now ready for sunny days!
