3 Tried & Tested Ways To Reapply Sunscreen Over Makeup

It's essential to wear sunscreen every single day—especially with scorching, sunny days ahead. If you are spending time outside and particularly if you're swimming, reapplication is a must as well.

Experts recommend reapplying sunscreen every two hours, regardless of daily activities, and after you get wet (even if your SPF says it's waterproof). 

If you regularly wear makeup, this likely poses a problem: A goopy sunscreen can easily smudge your immaculate blush placement or wash of concealer. Though SPF moisturizer may be the best call pre-makeup, there are a few other effective ways to protect your skin without redoing or messing up your glam.

Setting spray is a great final step in any makeup routine, especially for the summer months. These mists can help your makeup stay in place all day long without smudging. What's more, some of these sprays contain SPF, too. If you're looking for an easy, quick, and refreshing way to reapply SPF, give this tip a whirl. It won't replace using a base sunscreen with a higher SPF, but it can certainly offer adequate protection for the re-up. 

So you've heard of spray-on SPF and sunscreen lotion, but did you know that there are powdered forms of sun protection, too? If you frequently dab on setting powder throughout the day to absorb oil and touch up your makeup, you might as well swap it out for something with added SPF benefits for days spent in the sun. Be sure to apply the powder to the whole face (not just where you're most oily), and reapply every two hours.
