Its all perfect to keep talking about how we need to reapply sunscreen every few hours, but what is one to do when you are fully made up and need to step out into the sun during the afternoon? If taking off all your makeup, putting on sunscreen and then reapplying everything is not an option, try one of the new SPF-enhanced pressed powders. While most face powders don’t include too high an SPF (20 is normally the upper limit though some brands are now touching 30), they are sufficient to keep you protected for at least a couple of hours, while being easy to apply over existing makeup. For best results, ensure that you apply evenly all over the face, including the tips of your ears and neck. Some good options:
- Clarins UV+ Total Fit Powder Foundation SPF 30 PA ++
- Estée Lauder Stay-in-Place Powder Makeup SPF 10
- Clinique Almost Powder Makeup SPF 15
- Lancôme Oscillation Powderfoundation SPF 21
