How to reapply sunscreen (the easy way)
We all know that sunscreen is *the* staple of the skincare industry. But even when you prioritize it in your routine (aka using the highest-ever level of SPF every a.m.), you might not be fully protected.
Sunscreen is meant to be reapplied every two hours—but that can be difficult when things get busy. Also, what if you need to reapply over makeup? What if you don't have the space to carry a large sunscreen bottle with you everywhere?
DW, we've got the answers. These four unique products make reapplying sunscreen so much easier—your scalp, eyelids, lips and behind the ears!
Beauty of Joseon Matte Sun Stick
The Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun, a Korean sunscreen formulated with rice extract and niacinamide, went viral this year for its lightweight formula, moisturizer-like consistency, glowy finish and zero (yep, zero) white cast. Recently, the brand teamed up with cosmetic chemist and content creator @glowbyramon to develop a matte sun stick, made with mugwort, camelia and other good-for-your-skin ingredients. The sun stick is the perfect size to carry around in your purse and is so easy to use for SPF reapplication.
@sarahpalmyra Wow @Cosmetic Science with Ramón you did that! 🙌🏼 this sunscreen stick might just be the best one I’ve tried! Mattifying, pore blurring, with minimal makeuk transfer? It’s definitely worth picking up! #kbeauty #koreanskincare #koreanskincareproducts #koreansunscreen #beautyofjoseonsunscreen #sunscreenovermakeup #sunscreen #sunscreenreview #sunstick #sunscreenstick #beautyofjoseonsunstick ♬ original sound - Sarah Palmyra✨
Kate Somerville UncompliKated SPF 50 Setting Spray
Looking for a setting spray *and* a way to reapply your sunscreen? Look no further! Kate Somerville has a mist that does both. Pro tip: Make sure you don't inhale the sunscreen spray. Spray it into your hand first, then pat it onto your skin.
Sun Bum Scalp & Hair Mist SPF 30
If you're outside throughout the day, you need to freshen up your suncare game on your scalp. Sun Bum's scalp mist is enriched with sea kelp and algae. Water resistant for 80 minutes, this would be a great option for a long day at the beach or pool.
@carlyquist Sunscreen for your scalp! My scalp has not burnt once using this and I ALWAYS burn my scalp #sunscreenreview #scalpcare #sunscreen #sunbum ♬ Lost - Frank Ocean
