Learn the simple, confident methods and reapplication secrets for full, effective SPF protection every day.
Using sunscreen shouldn't be complicated—it should be a simple, confident step in your daily routine. To ensure you get the best from your Biolite and OxygenCeuticals’ sunscreens, follow this easy guide to expert sunscreen application.
Give the bottle a good shake before using. This simple step ensures that all the protective "good stuff" is evenly mixed. A well-shaken bottle guarantees you get the consistent, full coverage you need right from the start.
Shake before every use to keep protection consistent and even.
Are you using enough? For proper, full-body protection, you need more than you might think. Think shot glass or adult handful! That's about 35 ml or 2 tablespoons—the amount required to cover your whole body effectively.
The easiest way to measure for perfect facial coverage is the two-finger method. Simply squeeze two full lines of sunscreen onto your pointer and middle fingers. This amount gives your face the thorough, confident protection it needs.
Protection is only as good as its coverage. Make sure to cover every inch of exposed skin. This means deliberately remembering those often-overlooked areas that are highly susceptible to sun damage:
Keep reapplying. Consistent reapplication is the key to lasting protection. Apply sunscreen 30 minutes before sun exposure and then reapply 1 ounce every 2 hours after that. Always reapply immediately after swimming, sweating heavily, or toweling off.
Just remember: Your skin deserves consistent care. It's always best to apply a little extra rather than not enough, and remember to apply regularly, even when it's cloudy or you're indoors near sunny windows. Confident skin starts with confident SPF use!
