How To Reapply Sunscreen Without Messing Up Your Makeup

We all know that sunscreen is a non-negotiable step in any skincare routine, but reapplying it throughout the day- especially over makeup- can feel tricky. 

Worries you will relate to?

1. End up with a cakey and greasy looking face.
2. No one wants to ruin their carefully applied foundation. 
3. Sun damage, premature aging, and hyperpigmentation.
   
   

But skipping sunscreen touch-ups isn’t an option. The good news? With the right techniques and products, you can refresh your SPF without messing up your makeup. 

Here’s how to do it effortlessly!

•  Choose a Tinted Sunscreen Formulation

Opt for sunscreen formulations (like gel-based, fluid, or serum sunscreens) that already have tint added to it so that you don’t have to add multiple layers to your skin. Products like Mòkah Woman's Sunsoak SPF 50 Tinted Sunscreen offer broad-spectrum protection with an even finish, making them suitable for reapplication.

• Utilize Sunscreen Powders

Mineral-based powder sunscreens are designed to be applied over makeup, providing a matte finish while reinforcing sun protection. They are convenient for touch-ups and help absorb excess oil, keeping your makeup intact. The effectiveness however is not guaranteed.

• Apply with a Makeup Sponge

For liquid (fluid) or cream sunscreens, use a dry makeup sponge to gently press the product onto your skin. This technique minimizes makeup disruption and ensures even coverage. Focus on dabbing rather than rubbing to maintain your makeup's appearance. This is a hack though.

• Opt for Sunscreen Sticks

Sunscreen sticks offer precise application and are less likely to disturb your makeup. Gently glide the stick over your face, ensuring all areas are covered. This method is especially useful for targeting specific areas without affecting your entire makeup look.

• Use SPF-Infused Setting Sprays

SPF setting sprays can be spritzed over makeup to refresh your sun protection. They are easy to apply and can help set your makeup while providing the necessary SPF boost.

•  Reapply Every Two Hours

Regardless of the method you choose, it's crucial to reapply sunscreen at least every two hours, especially during prolonged sun exposure. This practice ensures continuous protection throughout the day.

What looks like the best choice?

A good tinted sunscreen looks like the best choice! Mòkah Sunsoak Tinted Sunscreen acts as a three-in-one product- it provides sun protection, evens out your skin tone, and refreshes your makeup in one step, no patchiness because of no extra layerings. Unlike regular sunscreens, tinted formulas blend seamlessly with your complexion, eliminating the risk of white cast or patchiness. Plus, they can even replace your foundation, making it easier to touch up SPF throughout the day without layering too many products. This for a daily minimal no makeup look. When wearing heavy makeup you can try sunscreen spray.
