How often to reapply sunscreen with makeup on

It's a question that's been asked, and i've asked myself too. Dr Neil Schultz provides an answer which i think is very logical.

How often to reapply your sunscreen with makeup on

Wonderful! I would always have to remove all my make-up just to reapply sunscreen, but after watching, I guess I don't have to!

There's a sunscreen facepowder out there somewhere. I remember seeing it on a local channel sometime.

He does make sense tho.

I use an SPF powder, which is easy to apply over makeup. I just kind of use it as an extra finishing powder if I'm going to to be outside that day.
I got mine from madminerals, but I'm sure there's more out there that sell it too.

Sisley's "All Day All Year" is the only product that has an encapsulated technology that provides 8 hours of sun protection. It blocks 90% of UVA/UVB rays. Only catch, PRICE. But hey! It's also anti-aging!

Sorry to ask for a transcript (of sorts) but can anybody tell me what the video says? My internet is being wonky today so I can't view the video but I'd love to know the technique because I've wondered about this - it would be nice to avoid that attractive Rudolph the sunburned reindeer look I tend to get...

He basically says you should always put your sunscreen on as your first layer, before any makeup.

Throughout the day, generally things applied to the skin fade off as the day progresses, with sweat and skin and movement, which is why you usually want to keep reapplying your sunscreen.

If your makeup fades throughout your day, then chances are your SPF has faded too, so you'll want to reapply both regardless.

If your makeup looks just like new, and hasn't budged, then chances are the layers underneath (e.g. your sunscreen that was your base layer) should still be in place as well, so you shouldn't have to reapply your sunscreen and still be okay.

my dermatologists says that it is recommended to reapply sunscreen every 2 hrs,

but she told to wash my face beforehand.

Which is very inconvenient.
