"My makeup has SPF. Am I sufficiently protected from the sun?"
Makeup Alone Isn't Enough Protection
No, SPF-infused makeup doesn't adequately shield your facial skin from UV radiation. The typical layer is too thin for sufficient coverage. Research shows you'd need seven times the SPF in a standard foundation or fourteen times in powder for proper protection. Dermatologists universally advise applying a dedicated facial sunscreen under your makeup, especially in summer.
