Preventing Sun Damage using SPF Cosmetics: How to Apply Sun Screen with Makeup?


To prevent you from the sun damage, the liberal use of sun screen becomes crucial. However applying sun screen is an art that must be streamlined with other cosmetics that are going to be up at your skin. Applying a sole sun protection balm is often considered significant when it is about getting the maximum protection, but today cosmetics with SPF protection such as BB cream & CC creams seem to replace the sun protection balm.

Regardless of what weather you are in; the use of sun screen is mandatory. According to American Academy of Dermatology up to 80 percent of the sun rays can pass through the clouds. Furthermore, sun light and harmful UV rays can pass through the windows. This make you vulnerable to sun damage if you are sitting by a window, driving to work or simply riding a bus. Isn't it frightening to realize that how much sun rays can damage your skin when you are out at the beach to boasting your bikini body for a sassy tan? Yes, in summer you need to be more vigilant.
