10 SUNSCREEN MISTAKES YOU MIGHT BE MAKING | DR SAM BUNTING

[@tracyholden5787]

A MAJOR one is.... don't rely on the spf in makeup alone! I've heard SO many people say, "my makeup has a natural spf 15 in it." This is especially bad since I'm in Arizona. Most people don't apply a thick enough layer of that makeup to hit the spf number, and many people only "spot apply" the makeup.

[@kelv5754]

my mom and sister say that

[@DrSamBunting]

100% - we apply cosmetics for an aesthetic purpose, so its always better to use a dedicated high factor broad spectrum underneath your make-up.

[@Bazibishop]

You’re so underrated for a derm on KZbin. You’re one of the best!

[@cfvcafrava3162]

Thanks for sharing I love your videos what are your thoughts about powder sunscreen for reapplication?

[@DrSamBunting]

Hmm. Not a fan - you need so much to get decent protection. Better to try to work with a new layer of correctly dosed cream or lotion SPF.

[@DiamondRobloxProductions]

ur literally the besttt i’m ordering your skincare soon so excited , u saved my friends skin because cerave was making him breakout

[@kirsten121]

I was always so pleased with myself in my teens and 20s for using an SPF15 moisturiser!

[@DrSamBunting]

Its better than nothing - but we can definitely do even better!

[@danyf.1442]

The little applicators for cushion bb cream work very well to reapply sunscreen over makeup! They're cheap and easily available.

[@Sovnarkom]

I just use my fingers out of fear that I won’t be sanitizing the applicator appropriately. How do you keep it clean?

[@danyf.1442]

@@Sovnarkom I just wash it with soap and let it dry well, but I also replace it often.

[@DrSamBunting]

Yep that’s a great technique.

[@qytj1182]

Timestamps would be really good for this

[@DrSamBunting]

Noted!

[@muiawat]

Loved this video ! Never understood dropper sunscreens in terms of dosing

[@DrSamBunting]

😊

[@karyntonkin1415]

Great advice as usual. I need to work on re-applying regularly and making sure my hands are protected properly 😊.

[@DrSamBunting]

Everything should match! x

[@andreabetenbuk3499]

If, after applying sunscreen, I apply powder with a brush 10 minutes later, so that the skin does not shine, will I destroy the protection? Thank's for help! 😊

[@myhottea]

So helpful! Thank you!

[@RichardExeter]

Hey Dr Sam.... Great Video..... I'm a sun-screen obsessive...Firstly my vit-c serum and then I use a 1/4tsp - spoon to measure out the quantity of my spf50. 1/4tsp for face and 1/4tsp for neck and this is/has been my daily routine as I go about my day-to-day activities. I never sunbathe! :)

[@DrSamBunting]

Yes!!!! :)

[@anum3702]

Company of sunscreen we have to look ?

[@kendallstark4302]

Excellent video! So, we know how much to apply to the face (a quarter teaspoon), but how much should we apply to.each arm, or leg? Could you give us an approximation? 💖

[@understone86]

I don't know the answer for this but... Even in Asia it's more common to cover up aka wearing loose long sleeves or sun protective arm covers. Overall more economical and safer.

[@kendallstark4302]

@@understone86 that's a good alternative, but the heat is rather oppressive where I live, and most days I prefer wearing short sleeved t-shirts and shorts. I'll look up the dose online 😊

[@DrSamBunting]

We should use a minimum of 30ml (or 6 teaspoons) - so 5ml per limb, 5ml for the front torso and 5ml for the back.

[@kendallstark4302]

@@DrSamBunting thank you!!!! 💖

[@Michele-xp7pt]

I know you have answered the mixing sunscreen comments below but what about mixing 2 mineral sunscreens (same brand) that have similar ingredients? I mix an untinted 30 spf with a tinted 50 spf from Madara. Or should I apply the untinted first, wait, then apply the tinted on top? Thanks Dr.

[@lovedeepsidhu9941]

I'd like to know too. I'm currently using an SPF 50 and then a tinted SPF 30.

[@Suha_Chakravorty]

SPF... my favourite topic, specially after the BOJ sunscreen ! 😍😍

[@karenmariewagstaff5746]

Yes but BoJ is an everyday sunscreen not one for prolonged sun exposure or outdoor activities.

[@s_shaleh]

​@@karenmariewagstaff5746 Ummm.. so? Dr Sam didn't mention anything about sports and outdoor activities. She was just talking about sunscreens in general. Nothing wrong with the BOJ on a day to day basis. Since you already know that it isn't water-resistant, then just find a water-resistant one if you know that you're going to the beach or doing outdoor sporting activities.

[@karenmariewagstaff5746]

@@s_shaleh actually quite important if you want to prevent sun damage. It’s a great sunscreen but disintegrates quite quickly under sweat or high UV exposure. That’s why it’s so light weight and washes of easily. The regulation for sunscreens in Korea is different to the UK where sunscreens are generally more resistant ( and thicker and probably don’t feel as nice) .

[@DrSamBunting]

Thanks!

[@janetbailey8966]

If I'm using a tinted mineral sunscreen... And I'm just going to work at my desk, in air conditioning, why do I have to reapply my sunscreen? I can still see the sunscreen on my face, so isn't the active ingredient still there?

[@canopus-lab]

Dear Dr. Sam Does a lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet Accelerate skin aging? Thank you for all your effort.

[@DrSamBunting]

As long as you're getting adequate first class protein to ensure healthy collagen, and combine it with a plant-rich diet ....and wear your SPF...you should be in good shape!

[@carmena.g.2448]

When I apply sunscreen can I put on my makeup right away o do I have to wait and how long?

[@DrSamBunting]

Wait until it's dried down to ensure its properly adhered to your skin.

[@martapinto8074]

What abount applying a tinted sunscreen after an untinted one (for a bit of extra protection and colour)? I usually wait 3-5 min so that the first layer settles in. Thanks

[@DrSamBunting]

Yes, I'll often use this double-layer approach for outdoors summer events.

[@Claudia-bo7fk]

Excellent vid as always, Dr. Sam! Helpful reminders are always useful. What about mixing sunscreens (to achieve the correct tint) when using them in lieu of foundation? Thanks for all of the great content!!

[@DrSamBunting]

No - we must apply them as they were tested - unadulterated!

[@innehaudrey1093]

Please someone should help me it's makeup before sunscreen or sunscreen before makeup?

[@ira4600]

Skincare then sunscreen then makeup

[@Christins8818]

thank you for this video. i already send it to my followers 😊 I love the sunprise airy finish sunscreen. it works so great as a primer fir me too. so i love it to apply my makeup on top of it. thats a first for me. i always apply a full amout first. but its also mixes si well with my foundation and makes it lighter for the summer month. i hipe this is ok. i will never use a mix alone. its just the ablitiy of thes sunscreen to make any foundation more airy that makes me do it.

[@DrSamBunting]

Thank-you for sharing!

[@emmacharlenedostal]

Is mixing 2 totally tinted mineral an exception to the No mixing rule?

[@DrSamBunting]

Unless you're applying the product as it was tested, I wouldn't recommend.

If I am at least 3 meters away from a window in my home, do I still need to wear sunscreen inside ( if I don't leave my house )???

[@emmaainger7474]

Using Dr Sam's spf ... £35 for 40 applicatioms at 1.25ml as she recommends. If you are applying it every two hours.... er thats A LOT of money

[@HereDiianas]

Unless you spend the entire day in the sun you don't have to re-apply every 2 hours. Plus you can always use a hat and sunglasses.
