Let's face it, nobody wants to ruin a perfect makeup look for the sake of sun protection. Not to mention that it's inconvenient and impractical to carry sunblock everywhere you go. But, what if you could easily reapply sunblock without any hassle while keeping your makeup intact? Here are some convenient options that are portable, easy to use, and won't mess up your makeup.
First, do you really need to reapply sunblock?
Yes, you do. While most of us remember to reapply sunblock at the beach, it's just as necessary in everyday situations.
Imagine you're on a city break, outside all day during peak sun hours. You're exposed to the same UV rays as at the beach, causing similar skin damage.
Morning sunblock application is good but only protects you for about 2 hours. If you're in an office from 8 am to 4 pm, it makes more sense to reapply before leaving the office at 4 pm when UV exposure is higher, rather than just at 7 am.
So, yes, you need to reapply sun protection throughout the day.
Luckily, we live in an age of sunblock innovations! There are more sunblock options on the market than ever before. Here are just a few options that you can choose from, depending on your concerns:
For the jet setter's carry-on:
This travel-friendly sunblock stick takes up about as much space as a lipstick, which makes it easy to fit into any bag.
You also don’t need to put it in your liquids bag because it's a solid, which makes it ideal for globetrotters with no liquids room to spare.
Flawless reapplication for the makeup lover:
Available in 2 shades, this tinted compact sunblock is perfect for sunblock reapplication over makeup.
It has a matte finish that provides a poreless look to any makeup style!
Its matte finish and flawless coverage also make it a great option for people with oily skin and acne, as it covers up acne marks and absorbs oil.
It is important to remember to clean the included sponge regularly to avoid a buildup of bacteria which could lead to breakouts.
Extra protection for sensitive skin:
If you have sensitive skin, scars, tattoos, or have undergone treatments involving laser and peels, then a Mineral SPF is the right choice.
This lightweight Mineral stick is great because it doesn’t leave behind a white, heavy residue but will still keep the skin protected for hours.
A creamier option for dry/ sensitive skin:
This product’s compact bottle makes it the ideal travel companion as it fits into any handbag or pocket easily.
It is creamy but extremely light and easily absorbed, making it a great option for anyone who has sensitive or dry skin which is prone to peeling.
If you don't like sticks or compacts, Uriage Ultra-light is a portable option for you.
