Step 1: Gather Your Tools
Behold, your skincare knight in shining armor! Not only does it shield you from the sun’s sneaky UV rays, but it’s also there to protect you from the laptop’s blue rays and the harsh office lights. This sunscreen is ready for battle.
Step 2: The Blob
Squeeze a blob about the size of a garden pea onto your fingertips. One squirt is enough! Too little, and the sun might catch you off guard; too much, and you’re just wasting product, which nobody has money for.
Step 3: Dot It Like a Pro
Dot this golden elixir on your face—forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin—like a makeup artist setting up for their masterpiece. And remember: do not rub it between your hands; just keep it on your fingertips to make your product last longer. Keep it efficient.
Step 4: Rub-a-Dub-Dub
How to apply: Start at the nose—it’s the sun’s favorite target and your “landing strip”—then blend outwards. For those with bigger pores or oilier skin (yep, I feel you!), the circular motion around the nose area will help minimize the stare of them.
Be careful around your eyes! Cover only the brow bone area, avoiding the moveable eyelid to prevent any burning sensation. No one wants tears in their sunscreen routine!
Step 5: The Mirror Check
Stand back and inspect your sunscreen masterpiece, working through these checkpoints, top to bottom:
- Hairline and browlines: Check there’s no extra product sitting here—it’s your skin protector, not an aging potion! You will accidentally age yourself!
- Earline: Blend out and down
- Under the Eyes and Nose: A quick double-check and dabbing with the ring finger if necessary
- Jawline to Neck: Blend for a smooth, natural finish. We’re not going for the floating face look.
Step 6: Extra Layers
Need a little extra coverage for pigmentation or redness? No problem! Add a thin second layer wherever needed. Just give it a few seconds to set before applying. Layer away like the skincare pro you are!
Step 7: The Final Look
Finally, give yourself a big smile in the mirror. You are radiant, protected, and ready to take on the world—or at least those lurking UV rays. Go forth and glow!
Hope this brings a smile and an extra bit of sunscreen joy to your day!
