Two skin doctors explain how well SPF makeup protects our skin, how to maximise our sun protection and why it never hurts to have more sun protection.
By now, we are all well aware that the diligent use of sunscreen is important in keeping our skin looking youthful. After all, sun damage, premature signs of ageing and even skin cancer are just some reasons why year-round SPF application – yes, even when it’s cloudy and raining – in our skincare routine is necessary.including SPF-infused makeup.
As a good rule of thumb, a sunscreen of at least SPF30 is recommended, and it should applied liberally. If you’re wondering how liberal you should go, Dr Rachel Ho, aesthetic doctor at La Clinic, advised using “2mg/cm2 to get the amount that’s stated on the label”.That's approximately a quarter of a teaspoon for the face and five teaspoon worth for the entire body, said Dr Tan.“In reality, most people do not use this amount because of a lack of awareness and inconvenience,” said Dr Ho.
But that’s not the only reason. Dr Tan also shared that SPF-infused makeup products should not be your sole protection against UV damage as they may not have the necessary ingredients to qualify as a broad-spectrum sunscreen. This could lead to the photoprotection being inadequate and inconsistent if you were to reply solely on SPF makeup for sun protection.
“Using both regular sunscreen and makeup with SPF allows you to get adequate photoprotection and enjoy the benefits of wearing cosmetic products,” said Dr Tan. And lest you think that you can skip your sunscreen if you layer multiple SPF infused products, from primer to foundation and blusher, think again.
