Also don’t forget if this gets anywhere near your eyelids you’ll cry for ten hours 😭
Thank God someone said it.. been there with watery eyes and ruined eyed make up.
no, this totally depends on the sunscreen. I am currently testing two different sunscreens. One burns and makes my eyes water all day, the other one is totally fine.
Not if it’s a mineral sunscreen 🧴
I think it depends upon sunscreen. Before my current sunscreen this used to happen alot.
exactly
For those who are wondering, I’m pretty sure she used the Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield SPF 50 ☺️🌼
Thank you!! It always bothers me that they don’t say WHAT products they’re using in these short videos! I’ve taken screenshots of products they’re using to and zoom in later to see what the heck they were. It’s frustrating. I wish they’d say or print the names.
Thank you!
Thank you...I tried to pause that darn thing so many times...😤😤😤
@@jyaneane if you have an iphone you could try screen recording it and then play it slowly there in photos or otherwise just slow down the actual video from TH-cam using playback speed
Haha yes thank you was totally trying to read it
Please remind everyone, anyone can get skin cancer. Doesn't matter what ethnicity!
So true!
For darker skin people are less likely to get it. Tan-Light people can be at a higher rate if they have freckles. Fair skin people should always wear it.
@@MegaCassie83 I think you may have completely missed the point tho
Thank you for stating that! I lost 2 cousins to skin cancer and both were African American...so yeah, put your sunscreen on folks!!
@@falcon.heavy. entirely.
When she does it her skin looks glowy af, when I do it a look like I’m greasy af and haven’t washed my face in a week 😂
Because she’s on a camera that is out of focus with indirect lighting. In person she looks greasy, too, but it fades into the skin after a few minutes. If it really bother you, you can use regular sunscreen then dust a bit of sunscreen powder over it to mattify and up the coverage.
Not all sunscreens are greasy, there are special ones with matification
Tip from a girl from Panamá: the La Roche Anthelios spf, the one that has the shaker in the bottle, it's the best matte one in the market. A lot of people here swear by it because Panama is incredibly humid and hot.
@@gloriaherrera9876 thank you hun, I’m going to try it out 😊
paulas choice has a mattifying one with a light tint of color. it’s only spf 30 though so i use it in darker times of the year.
"Hey, can we go outside?"
"No"
"Why?"
"The sun is STILL a deadly lazer"
not anymore there’s a blanket
Lmao the entire history of the world I guess
😂
i love u
😂 jeez its so fun that so many ppl quote the video
Dont forget the back of your hands! Hands really show your age as you get older, take care of them too.
Thanks
It doesn't matter when you use them in hard labor, they get wrinkled anyway
I literally wash my hand(edited) every hour so no can do :')
I feel like I need to use a chemical sunscreen cause too much sunscreen on my hands just transfers everywhere.
I mean sure but you can also get skin cancer in them, which is what the video is about... wrinkles are far less serious
Baby sunscreen is tear free for those who say putting on eyelids will cause eye irritation. Also, it has the high spf protections.
That still burns my eyes. 😒
@@mroush6028 Get the Banana Boat Baby tear free spray. Sold at Walgreens. Just close your eyes and spray.
@@sarahp.3772 thank you. So much!😀
And it's expensive 🙄
@@Magda_7396 No it's $8 at Walgreens. Price may vary depending on the state and city. But $8 is cheaper than what I pay for my Sun Bum sunscreen, which cost me $14.
"1/4 teaspoon may feel like a lot"
Me: using a tablespoon.
😂😂
wow 😂
Me wondering why I look like Casper the ghost just dipped himself in a vat of oil.
Hahaha
@@DrSamEllis which sunscreens are good
I'm 56 and lived in Southern California in the 70's. I'm paying the price now. I've had, just on my face alone three removals of skin cancer, it's not worth it. Protect your skin at all cost!!
This woman is going to look like a 20 year old when she’s 40. Every woman that consistently uses sunscreen every day looks younger as they age
YES. I'm 37 and look 20, I've used sunscreen since I was 17, everyday.
@Cosmo Cosmo 🙃that's what people say anyway :p
My mom always tells me this I need to get some asap lmao
I can confirm that. I'm 41. Maybe I don't look like 20 but 10 years younger for sure and I have no wrinkles.
My mineral sunscreen dries me out though I’m having such a hard time finding the right one especially for the wintertime, any suggestions? I can’t use chemical because it causes 100s of bumps, rashes
I put sunscreen on my eyelids and later in the day it feels like acid in my corneas. 🥺
try other sunscreens! Mine doesn't burn at all even though I have sensitive eyes 😊
Maybe a sunscreen balm around the eye area? 🤔 so it won't drip down
@@angelica534 yep, I also use sunscreen lip balm around my eyes 😊 works great and doesn‘t burn
@@laurimarch5291 Also!
Use a physical one! Try Korean sunscreens! They are THE BEST EVER
I often experienced excessive sweating after applying skincare in the summer, and my skincare seemed to melt in the harsh sun. Since for the last 4 months, I've started using rice berry sunscreen by littlleeextra, and I no longer face that sweating issue with this sunscreen. My face also doesn't appear dark after applying it. In fact, I’ve also begun using rice berry face moisturizer and face serum underneath this sunscreen, and I’ve found that my face stays well-hydrated. I’ve noticed a reduction in pigmentation with regular use of these products.
I’m glad she did her ears and neck but don’t forget the nape of the neck too, especially if your hair is short or you wear it up when you go outside.
Great advice. No one ever mentions that👍
ahhh you said it!!! it's also be my point because most people only focus at their face but dont care enough the way they apply sunscreen at the other exposed parts :(
I wish they made affordable tinted sunscreen because the application is every 2 hrs
I'll be broke if I use that much sunscreen per day
@@minfires7572 same
The new CeraVe tinted mineral sunscreen is affordable and has a nice consistency. On my first tube, and it is lasting a good long time.
CeraVe and Australian Gold 50 are both reasonable👍
eBay offers bulk samples at decent pricing! I buy from there when I can’t afford to splurge, make sure it’s a good seller and that the expiration date is in the listing
I wish my grandpa did this when he was younger. He ended up dying because his skin cancer spread and went into his lungs he was fine one day then a week later I was at home and decided to go into his room, found him dead in his chair.
I’m so sorry you had to find him that way , may he Rest In Peace ❤️ sending you good energy 🥺
My grand ma forgot to put on sunscreen once got third degree burns (cause she's on my white side of the family). She ended up with melanoma which spread to her lungs and she died.
@@MegaCassie83 Also the lungs like OP’s grandpa? I wonder why melanoma specifically spreads to the lungs more...
I’m sorry
My heart goes out to you❤️
Sunscreen is expensive where I'm from, so I use a black umbrella whenever I go out in the sun.
Yes! I'm from Crimea (Russia), and I use a huuuuge hat most of the time. This makes a lot of difference. I plan to also use an umbrella sometimes 🍀
@@brightart4628 Crimea is Ukraine btw

I’ll say this now. Her skin is going to look good even 10-20 years from now with that much sun
screen. Like, yall, IT’S A MUST.
Sunscreen only protect you from premature aging. If there was a miracle those celebs and billionaires would stay 25 forever, stop making something to overrated
Like, yall, why are you so invested in another person's organ. 🙄
Nah!
She looks her age she doesn't look younger than her age
@@CutePiggy-o8d when did I say she doesn’t look her age?
Coming from a “sunscreen every day” type of person… One that works so well and is a little less pricey is the Alba botanica sensitive skin facial sunscreen 🙌 goes on like a cream & doesn’t leave the white residue on my skin.
Can you share which sunscreen she used, I'm not that familiar
If you don’t mind my asking, do you know how it layers under makeup? If it balls up/etc
@@whynothanks2047 personally I have been using it and the white cast is a little bit intense if you're pale, it catches on hair and pills up on my eyebrows and hairline kinda and it takes some time to work it into the skin too as its tacky and dry so the skin tugging isn't great fun, the white cast does eventually go away after heating up though. I've never used it over makuep since I don't ware it but I would say it'd work great since it almost has a primer feel to it, and the White cast would definitely be covered up afterwards.
This is the normal amount of sunscreen you should be applying. And you have to apply it every few hours as well to be fully protected. A small amount in moisturizer, makeup, or those ridiculous makeup setting sprays isn’t doing anything.
so keep washing ur face every few hours if u have dirt or oil building on ur skin???
I’m pretty sure the dermatologist knows what’s she talking about after going to school for years.
It's just hard to reapply if ur wearing makeup
@@minfires7572 You can use a spray sunscreen for reapplying it shouldn’t mess up your make up
@@biancalazzaroni6290 um yeah it will
Apply sunscreen she says, watches her apply sunscreen to clear soft skin. Now I apply same sunscreen brand and amount and watch my skin get oily and clogged full of breakouts next morning. 😳
There are now in the market some sunscreens perfect for acne prone skin or for people with very sensitive skin too. Not every sunscreen is that oily or heavy, you just have to pick one that’s right for your skin type. (This happened to me until I investigated and got the right one)
@@mongdc Thanks! I'll look for one. 😀
I have been using "La Roche-Posay Anthelios Clear Skin Dry Touch SPF 60 FACE Sunscreen for Acne-Prone Skin" for 4yrs now with no problem. It's been the best for me (spent $$$ on EltaMD UV Clear & was oily & broke out:/)... This product from La Roche-Posay is oil-free, non-greasy, NO BREAKOUTS & gives a matte finish. Make sure to buy the product as exactly what I typed as there are others from this line with similar packaging.
I'm a POC if that helps. Others I've tried didn't control my oil as much. CeraVe moisturizer was ok but I found La Roche-Posay gave better protection, no grease, etc and you can find it at any every drug store
@@brokgrl85 Thank you for the recommendation I will give it a try for sure!! 🤗✌
Hey babe! Try the kinship probiotics sunscreen! I was worried about the same thing since I have sensitive skin but this one great!!:)
then there’s me thinking i’m doing something, by applying one DOT to my cheeks, nose, and forehead 😭
i was like that too lol. i just do the line on four of my fingers on one hand & that is enough. like how she did it!
Lmao same 🤣 I hate putting too much stuff on my face, it's already oily in my T-zone. If I'd put so much sunscreen, I'd be as shiny as a light bulb 💡
À
at least you’re wearing sunscreen, sis 😂
🤣 same here
My aunt just got diagnosed with skin cancer. That was a wake up call for me to wear sunscreen when I'm out in the summer
Why do you guys seem to ignore the forehead? 🤔 In general it's like the bulk of the product is applied to the cheeks and remnant is spread to the forehead 😫
Cheeks get more sun generally.
Anytime I’ve had sunburn (I’m pale and live in the desert so unfortunately it has happened a lot, even with sunscreen” it is mostly on the cheeks and shoulders.
@@marciamcdevitt964 OK. Thanks. I tend to apply evenly across the entire face then I apply a little extra to my forehead and temples as those are my trouble zones.
@@UdegbunamChuks SAME!
Plus, we are literally in the middle of pandemic where most people are required to wear face mask. Our forehead is exposed way more than the cheeks
@@haluhaluhihi5509 that is so true 👍
Trust me girls and guys if u cant afford expensive sunscreen just buy the cheap one(just make sure it suits ur skin type) even though it leave white cast. Im dark olive and still use the cheap one but it'll white cast but guess what? WHITE CAST 1000x better then SUN SPOT.
question about using sunscreen, do I need to apply it even if I only go out for a couple minutes? (lets say 15 min)
@Jasper Kim if its super sunny yeah
Sunscreen price has nothing to do with whether it was leave a white cast. There are plenty of affordable chemical sunscreens. It’s mineral that leaves a white cast.
Not all sunscreen leave white caste. Bondi sand spf50 is fabulous, cheap and it doesn't leave a white caste.
I live in tropical country. When i put too much sunscreen, it will be runny in minutes and my face will sweats 😔
there’s some sunscreen powders that you can apply over a lightweight sunscreen maybe
@@aquilaorion3531 is the spf powder enough to fully cover the face? Is it effective as sunscreen in a tubes?
Use ice cubes on your face in the morning after washing face
So are we still going to use umbrella after applying that much? Americans are known to enjoy the warmth of the sun. South east asian’s second sunblock is umbrella
I’m American and I hate the sun. Umbrella is always on me when I’m outside and people look at me like I’m crazy.
I just don’t want skin cancer bruv 💀
Even better, I think! More protection from skin cancer is always better, in my opinion.
East Asian as well
Umbrella all the way! When it's raining, when it's hot, southeast asian here!
I’m all for bringing back parasols! Just started a collection of the cutest antique parasols and I love using them!
That was waaaaaayyyy more than a 1/4 tsp lol
Yeah that was more like a full tablespoon.
Ikr, whenever I add a 1/4 tsp of anything when I'm baking it's a tiny amount
That was probably 3/4 a teaspoon and she said add more for the neck. I bake a lot haha
That's what I said ! I think it's cos I bake that I realized that that isn't 1/4 tsp 😂
Thank goodness someone said this! I ws wondering too! Cause all this while ive been seeing dermatologists telling us to use 1-2 tbspoons too so this is confusing me🥴🥴🥴
Just a tip, if you want to save some money for long run, buy one sunscreen that you REALLY LOVE and apply it ONLY on your face ( maybe hands also as you always touch things with it, so it can be uncomfortable touching things with greasy palm).
For the rest of your body like ears, neck, arms, legs etc., just use a cheap sunscreen as you don't really feel uncomfortable using thick cheap sunscreen on those parts.
But we have to use the same spf right? So one part won’t get darker
Hate sunscreen with a passion but I know I should start using it. It's the feel and now the benzene. It needs careful consideration to find just the right one.
Id also apply to the back of the neck and around the collar a bit into the shirt, arms and hands
I even put it on my toes if I’m in open toe shoes! So I agree.. everywhere! Lots of women forget the backs of their hands too.
ahhh you said it!!! it's also be my point because most people only focus at their face but dont care enough the way they apply sunscreen at the other exposed parts :(
Her blends in so nicely with her skin…mine makes me look like a ghost for an hour. Can’t find a good sun screen that doesn’t leave a white cast against my dark skin
Try a chemical sunscreen that doesn't have Tinosorb M
You should try black girl sunscreen! Its kind of oily though but it doesn’t leave a white cast!
@@yumyamchi anything that’s darker skinned friendly. What is the sunscreen you used called?
I would suggest la Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra-Light invisible Fluid SPF50+. It comes out white but as you massage it in it genuinely becomes invisible. I'm dark skin so can definitely confirm black girl friendly! My holy grail now :) X
She's so pretty and graceful ! Her features are so elegant and unique
Who here doesn’t wear sunscreen? I never do it because I don’t get sun burns (yes I know I can still get skin cancer) I just hate how it feels and I don’t care enough to do it. Also I know about sun damage but once again I can’t care enough.
It's not simply about sun burns but about sun damage over time. You will care in 30 years when you look 10 years older than you are. Seriously.
SAME. I HATE IT.
There are 2 types of UV rays: UVA (aging) and UVB (burning). You may not get sun burns because of your skin type (see Fitzpatrick scale) but your skin is still unprotected by both UVA and UVB rays.
I really struggled finding one that didn't feel and look awful. But I SWEAR BY "Neutrogena Clear Face oil-free Broad Spectrum SPF 55 Water Resiatant sunscreen". For my skin, after about 3 mins it looks and feels completely undetectable. And I use alot because I have melasma
@@MommaBear87 I’m delighted that you found one you will wear!
I use sunscreen every day and I now have a vitamin D deficiency that has caused my hair to start falling out. Literally can't win.
I’ve been taking 10,000 IU Vitamin D , I think you should check it out! It seems like a lot but many ppl have a Vit. D deficiency which can lead to depression and all other sorts of health issues. Just so you have an idea, there’s a Dr (can’t remember his name atm) who took the 10K IU everyday and only after 5 years did his vitamin d improve and reach a healthier level. Also you could try Vitamin D shots, my aunt had lost hair too and not too long after getting the shot her hair started growing back out (this option is a bit more expensive than just buying vitamins at a store tho)
@@jujuxxBabii I can't actually have a high dose of vitamin D because I am pregnant and it can cause problems with the baby, a blood calcium problem. Being human is rough.
Basically I have to sit in the sun every day.
It is very common that almost everybody have Vitamin D deficiency. Please don't blame it on the sunscreen.
@@soliloquys Maybe you can take small doses of Vitamin D? I take Vitamin D3 drops, 1000/2000 IU a day
My doctor explained that 10 minutes in the sun is enough to get my daily vitamin D requirement. Since then, I've started my morning with a walk with my dog, then take a shower and then put on sunscreen. I don't have a shortage anymore💪😎 Maybe this will work for you too☺
I wish you and your little family the best😊
The neck, the neck...just one swipe there...the neckkkk
Same for the ears, this was not a proper application 😅
🤣
And it should be applied after every 2-3 hours until evening. So, i wonder how long does one sunscreen container last ?
It's a complete scam
@@drinking_masterall the good ones are like $30+
Reapply with sunstick if u dont wanna waste all the cream. I always do sunstick Reapplying
I live in an extremely humid country. If I did this it will literally be melted off.
Also one of the hottest countries. So maybe it's worth it anyway.
Uhm, maybe you're using the wrong product 🤔
yeah, me too live in tropical country. even when I used the matte one, still my face sweat
@@mirnaelizabethquezada9973 no.
It's so humid here that u can't even use a freaking matte moisturizer without sweating.
Try wearing it half an hour before you go out so your skin could absorb it first..
I would apply more on the forehead:) and this sunscreen has such a nice finish but burns my eyes! I use p20 kids spf 50 or Laroche Posay Shaka instead, also higher UvA protection🤘🏼
Her: *applying a whole lot of sun scream*
Me and my oily skin: 👁️👁️
👄
P.S: I know there are water based sun scream 😂 it's just that I got to know about it very late and all my memories is filled with oily sticky cream on my face
I scream. You scream. We all scream for sun scream
I'm 57 going on 58 in December, I'm told I look like I'm 36 years old. I've been asked if I had Botox done on my face Lol
I've been using Neutrogena for 30 years
Also don’t forget if you put it on your lips you’ll taste it for the next week
Sooo beautiful! Great skin!
I think I am allergic to sunscreen. It feels like I have a sunburn whenever I put it on my face, even using the baby sunscreen
Because there are many very harmful chemicals in sunscreens. Look up an article written by a dermatologist called "The dark side of avoiding the sun". There are other perspectives to creams that block the sun, one of them is the fact that skin cancer has actually increased since people started using them.
@@emelienash7401 🤔 that's crazy
Sunscreen is a scam
@@drinking_master no. it isn't. but differents areas of the world don't have the same legisltion and don't autorise the same chemical in sunscreen. for exemple UE have more filter than the US, so if your skin react to the chemical available in your area it doesn't mean you can't find a good sunscreen but it's definitly harder.
use 100% mineral filters
I lather myself in factor 50 when I know I’m going outside because I’m so pale and fair. I burn a bit then tan quite darkish but still use sun screen. I’ve been advised by dr though to ease up on using it and to expose myself to sun more because I’m severely deficient in vitamin D and that’s even with taking prescribed high dose of vitamin D supplements. The more sun exposure, the more risk of skin cancer, the more I protect myself, the more I have problems with severe vitamin D deficiency and low calcium. I can’t win..☹️
I think it depends on what time you go out to have some sun ☀️. Just avoid going outside during high noon or during the hottest time of the day. Early morning sun is good for the body😇 I hope this helps :)
colorscience is amazing!!! love their body SPF too.
Are they brown skin friendly?
@@MegaCassie83 yes! no white cast either.
Thanks so much for sharing this! I literally was about to get a measuring spoon to figure out whether I put enough on. This is super helpful!
All sunscreens ive tried make my skin greasy as hell. So i wear none and avoid the sun.

@@imaadhaqqi2924 thanks so much for the tip!!! 😘
@@riyarasman2632 what they said is totally wrong pls don't listen to that. It's really important to apply enough in order to build the barrier and protection you need
@@riyarasman2632 use a measuring spoon until you’re used to what a 1/2 tsp looks like (that’s including neck and ears). I err on more than less because too little isn’t going to be effective and create the barrier against UV light.
And here I am, very much allergic to sunscreen and simply avoiding leaving the house^^
I apply differently. I dot onto each part of my face so i know everywhere is covered then i rub in. Some parts where i get more sun exposure i will add a 2nd layer. I also top up throughout the day with the colorscience brush powder. Im in my 30s and havent taken sun protection seriously before so last yr i decided to start
Thanks for posting this. I wear it every day but I don’t think I put enough precision and care into applying it. This video helps
If I did that in Florida it would instantly melt and slide right down my eyes.
If you live in Florida you MUST wear waterproof sunscreen. I lived there for a long time and it messed up my skin.
Newbie here! I only applied it to my face and not my ears, I finally know why my skin tone is off! Thank you!
What is your philosophy on reapplying sunscreen when indoors and not in direct sunlight all day?
Not really required. Unless your sitting in direct sunlight for many hours.
I would still reapply, just not as often as if i was outside. I'd apply every two hours that i'm outside, but maybe every 3-4 while indoors

Do your windows have uv light filters?
@@CanopusLux I've been wanting to look into window uv filters, could you recommend any or have any tips on how to choose one?
things to question about this video's advice:
- applying a quarter teaspoon is enough to cover the whole face 'liberally'? really?
- don't forget eyelids....yeah if you want your eyes to sting, and for the stuff to coat your contact lenses indelibly and continue to sting even after you've cleaned them
- but my biggest frustration is being told to apply sunscreen all the way to the hairline, because NO SUNSCREEN MANUFACTURER ever tells you truthfully that the active ingredients in sunscreen are proven to cause hair loss. women start balding and getting receding and thinning hairlines....and then stop using sunscreen and their hair grows back. of course, skin cancer is arguably worse than being bald, but the point is better sunscreens need to be developed and manufacturers need to be honest
With the same logic, sunscreens for the body will also cause hair loss? I haven't noticed anything like this on forehead or body
@@nasiampadeka4606 good question about loss of body hair. and good for you that you have not experienced hair loss. my hairline is receding and my eyebrows fell out quite a bit. i've used different types and brands of sunscreens over the decades and my hair loss is not just a bad reaction to ONE product. it is the result of years of continuous use. and all i can say is, just go online and look up the research and studies and experiments.
@@insoserious Yes I will, thank you. I usually had skin irritation on face by using sunscreen but this is new. Going to check, thank you 👍
@@nasiampadeka4606 yeah sunscreen irritates and dehydrates my skin too. i have to always let my skin take a break for a day or two after using sunscreen for 1 week. otherwise it gets dry and patchy and easily itchy. i also use a serum on my face under the sunscreen to protect my skin first
@@insoserious I hope you had your thyroid levels checked to rule that out just in case, since hair and eyebrow loss are symptoms of that too.
What about the hair part for people who part their hair? While in school, one of my sport med professors shared a story with us of a women who developed skin cancer on her scalp where she would sort her hair. Super important to also apply sunscreen there.
I usually wear a hat but sunscreen is also an option there
Should see how common skin cancer is here in Australia 😬 I always try to wear some sort of sun protection
If I'm not mistaken, Australia's has one of the harshest sun exposure.
Very true. It’s actually because the ozone layer above us is so thin but in whatever the scientific terms are. In saying that it also gets seriously so ridiculously hot here.
@@MaggieSimpsonn you guys also have a specific association for skin cancer, right? I think it's something like Australia's skin cancer council
Damn. She just told us where to put it. I was looking forward to something along the lines of how to rub it or where to start. Didn’t learn much.
I'd be looking like a ghost wearing that much amount sunscreen.

Is it OK to apply two coats or am i wasting sunscreen? I apply first one coat, wait some minutes then I apply the second coat. I do not reapply it during the day 😬Please share your thoughts.
Two coats won't really do anything. Just one is enough and then reapply every 2 hours.
My dermatologist says when you are mainly inside, apply one coat. Then wait 5 to 10 minutes and apply more around your eye area and on your lips. When your outside for 3 hours or more, apply one coat. Wait 5 to 10 minutes, then apply a second full coat. Including your lips.
@@nehapriyanka One that's at least 30 spf and has been tested for its effectiveness
One coat and re-application every two hour is the key of sunscreen if throughout the day you're being exposed to sunlight or diffused sun light. Re-application after sweating or swimming.
But If like on the way to work in the morning you're only being exposed to sunlight for short period of time and then you're staying totally indoors, even without diffused sunlight through glass window or open window, and also you aren't sweating, in this case once application MAY work.
This is my personal view and I'm not any dermatologist.
I’d think about applying two coats only if you think you didn’t apply enough with the initial application. For example, with really runny sunscreens I apply two layers because it’s difficult to apply a full 1/4 tsp in one go.
My mom's a dermatologist......but I've rarely seen her wearing suncreen itself🙃
😂😂
Cause it more damages the skin than it protects. Just look up what effect those ingredients have on you. 🙃
@@Lookie752 how?
I have yet to try a sunscreen on my face that does not make the skin on my face feel tender. The idea of reapplying it even once without washing my face is horrible and I find it hard to believe that that can be good for you.
@@Lookie752 are you a chemist? What do the ingredients do?
Wait I apply like 3x more than what she did. 😮
Dr.Mike : *THE BEST PROTECTION FOR SKIN IS NOT SUNSCREEN BUT SHADE*
I've worn sunscreen daily on my face and neck since I was twelve. It still didn't keep me from getting skin cancer in my late 30s. Don't forget the scalp!
I am surprised she does downward strokes. I always do upward an all that I can unless the anti gravity application is a myth!
her facial structure is so GOOD.
Her skin must be tough, as in not super sensitive, because every time I apply sunscreen on a humid day...I’m an oily mess! I sweat profusely and my skin begins to get irritated 🙈
She didn’t do the back of her neck. That bugs me considering how she covered her throat.
Good point 😐
@@moominmay Maybe she’s wearing her hair down, but hair doesn’t seem to be that great for protecting against the sun. That’s why I dab sunscreen in my part. Got a burn there once and when it peeled it made me look like I had dandruff. Lesson learned!
For real. That's a spot that burns on me because I'm usually trying to face away from the sun and wearing a baseball cap.
Most people ALWAYS apply generous amount of sunscreen but only a few of them actually apply it evenly all over the exposed parts. They tend to only focus at the face and just rub lightly at the body which kinda irritates me honestly
@@haluhaluhihi5509 You said it!! Only took one time to burn the nape of my neck. Never forget that area even if you have hair covering it.
Colorscience is awesome!
Can’t find them in stores.
@@Josh-fp2qn You have to go on their website.
I use Bea 50spf sunscreen . The best I have ever used . Does not sting my eyes.. feels like a moisturiser... and is not cardio for my hands😍
This is literally how everyone I know applies it
yum all these chemicals that i can’t even pronounce or know what it does to my body is helping my skin!
Yea that is a lot especially my sunblock is literally color white and it stings the eyes (didnt know when i got it)... my face is so white after
Sounds like a shitty sunscreen
I’m 43 and have no wrinkles. My mother is 68 and doesn’t have wrinkles. We don’t wear sunscreen everyday, but have very oily skin. It is also genetics.
Now if only there was a mineral sunscreen that didnt make me look like a ghost, and costs less than $800/oz
try Japanese and Korean sunscreen buy on stylevana or yesstyle won’t be disappointed
Girl, I’m black, so I understand your issues entirely! I use biore aqua rich in spf 50 from Japan. Only makes me a tiny bit ghostly and it fades within 30 minutes. For most people lighter than a medium shade, I imagine it would be pretty unnoticeable going on. Plus, it’s $10-$12 for 4 oz.
Me watch this video thinking I would be looking like Casper
@@trianna2008 Unfortunately that's also a chemical based sunscreen not mineral :( i might be able to use it when im no longer pregnant though!
@@pariss2416 ooh 😮 happy baby bump I hope your child is the most happy child in the world,
Korean sunscreens also have mineral sunscreens and the white cast doesn’t make you look as ghostly
My face would break out HORRIFICALLY from all that greasy sunscreen. 😩
Try sunscreen that has a gel consistency or water based
There are sunscreens that are specifically formulated for faces and are oil-free. I have oily skin so I have to be careful too.
You better find one that works for you asap before your skin looks like a purse at 40.
And don’t forget spf lip balm. Many people forgot about their lips
Any recommendations for sunscreen that won’t burn the hell out of your eyelids if you apply it there? I’ve tried so many brands and they all feel like battery acid around my eyes
Dr dray a board certified dermatologist who has a TH-cam channel has recommended using the spf lip by the brand vaniply as it can be used both on the lips and around the eye/on eyelids! I’ve heard others say this has been a game changer. Just use your normal sunscreen on face neck hands etc. and the vaniply spf lip for your eyes! :)
@@kivs3007 thank you so much!!
Organic coconut oil, it protects the skin. 😉
@@Lookie752 yikes....you’re practically asking for your skin to get fried and damaged by doing that! Oil on your skin + sun=not a good idea.😬
@@Lookie752 no omygoshhh it’s bad coconut oil is not good for face
This amount is much less than what I am costumed to applying, maybe I should be applying less?
I apply more than this as well. You know your skin and what your comfortable with. Plus it's protecting your skin. Extra isn't a bad thing. I apply way more than what is shown here as well.
Same 🙈
Great tip I learned, use extra sunscreen to lay down flyaway hair from your face!! It worked everytime!!
Christy Turlington is now a dermatologist?
As someone with darker/tanner skin it’s so difficult to find a good sunscreen that doesn’t make me look like a ghost OR that is cheap OR that is too heavy on the skin that might be just only a fantasy 😔 (I hope people see this to recommend some)
I have the same problem, im south east asian fyi. But trust me white cast are 100000x better than dark and sun spot. Theres a korean brand sunscreen name 3w clinic it just MYR10 = 2.50/3.00USD. so cheap but a lil "shiny" on my skin (i have super oily skin btw) but not greasy.
Watch videos from Dr. V. She’s a doc and formulator and has great info for skin of color.
Why not just measure 1/4 tsp then. I don’t think the finger thing is too accurate.
i guess it’s because it doesn’t really matter if it’s accurate to the measurement or not, a little less or a little more doesn’t hurt
Why would you need to measure it so precisely...?
The video says to use 1/4 tsp. People have short fingers, long fingers, not all the same size. I think you miss the point of the video: that it DOES matter how much you apply and how you apply it.
@@asterism.x It's not that important to have EXACTLY 1/4 teaspoon...
@@jawaela I have seen another dermatologist say the finger method is not accurate and not to use it. To each their own. Personally I cook a lot so I can just eyeball 1/4 tsp.
I got so excited with the way she applied it😄
I’m sorry if I sound daft or stupid but is it fine to put makeup on over the sunscreen after it dries? Sorry
yep, that’s what i do ^^ i let my sunscreen absorb unto my skin then i put my makeup over it :)
Excellent question! Sooo many people don’t know the answer to this, and decide to opt out of sunscreen because they’d rather wear their makeup! Truth be told you can have both👍
Yup. I do it.
She has such unique, beautiful features
What brand of sunscreen is this
colorescience
i rarely use sunscreen unless I've to spend the day under scorching sun ..my mom has never used sunscreen in her life .. my grandmother never .. they both have excellent skin ...sunscreen is not the be all and end all .. good diet ..detox diet is essential for good supple skin
Omg thank you, I get so much anxiety when I see people skip their eyelids 😩
I’m 13 and i’ve consistently worn sunscreen every day since the beginning of 2023 (well most days but yk) and honestly i imagine that i will age gracefully and always look younger lol.
I just rub in a lot of it, and then I smooth on a second layer without rubbing 🤷🏽♀️
Why the three fingers method doesn't work? Simply because each sunscreen has a unique consistency, (Fluid, Gel, Gel-cream, Lotion, Cream) so a line on the finger of a fluid sunscreen doesn't mesure the same to a line of a cream sunscreen. Why am I saying this? Because a lot of people on the internet are using the three fingers method on all types sunscreens regardless of the its consistency.
My advice would simply be to apply sunscreen normally until you feel like you're putting enough (it won't feel nice) or you can use a measuring spoon if you have the time.
I wanted to love the Face Shield powder and face tint liquid from Colour Science...but every single time I wear both of them together, they give me the WORST clogged pore/white heads at the end of the day. Like...it is awful!!!! The kind were you need to get them off because they are so white and textured. I double cleanse and everything..nothing helps. When I do not use them ..I am perfectly fine. I have never ever expirenced anything close to how these 2 products make my skin look just after 12 hours. Does anyone have a clue why?? I believe it is the water proofing oils they put in the products. I love how they both look on my skin when I apply them...but I just cannot deal with the 20 clogged..very noticeable.. white heads all over my mouth..nose...and chin at the end of the day.
Remember to apply to the back of the neck as well
Recently I’ve noticed that sunscreen gives me more black and white heads... I wear it everyday
I use pan oxl in the mornings & sa wash before bed, those have really eliminated the black and white heads for me:)
@@inachristine sa wash? I’ve contemplated not using it everyday and only on days that I know I will need it. I recently started using panoxyl 👍🏻
it might be too stripping if you’re not as oily as me 😹 maybe just on the nose it could help out there? i dunno lol everyone loves panoxyl though, good luck:)
