My friend recently told me that wearing high SPF on the face on a daily basis is not good for the skin. She says that it will eventually clog pores and our body/ skin becomes immune to the product; so it will no longer work on our skin/ protect it from the sun.
She tells me that I should wear light SPF sunblock ( SPF 15 ) rather than heavy ones ( SPF 50, what I am using right now). YOu are only suppose to use high SPF only if you are out in the sun for long period/ going to the beach. Is that true? Cause I use my Shisheido SPF 50 sunblock everyday, no matter where I go (to the mall, @ school...)
A cosmetic counter lady once told me that she uses SPF 50 + on her face everyday (365 days) even though she is in the mall the whole day. She tells me its because indoor lights are really damaging to the skin. Indoor lights can overtime cause spots and freckles on the skin.
I use to use Clinique Superdefense SPF 35, should I switch back to this one then? or should i stick to the Shisheido one?
How do you girls apply your SPF? Do you apply it upwards or downwards.
A cosmetics lady tells me to apply it upward and not in circular motions because it will cause uneven distribution and causing all SPF to spread on the side.
Another cosmetics lady tells me to apply it downwards, that is the opposite direction of how you would apply your moisturizer. She says that applying downwards will prevent the pores from clogging. Whereas if we apply it the same direction, that is upwards, as our moisturizer, it will clog our pores.
So which way is right?
