Apparently timestamps in the description don't always work on mobile, but they do in the comments! Here you go: 0:08 Do I need to wear sunscreen every day, even though I'll be inside most of the time? 1:35 Do I need a separate sunscreen if my make-up has SPF? 3:08 What happens when I layer multiple products with SPF? 4:21 Can I mix sunscreen into my make-up? 4:47 Is chemical or physical sunscreen better? (* should say LESS allergies for physical) 6:07 Do I need to apply chemical and physical sunscreens differently? 6:59 What order should I apply my products in? 8:30 How should I apply my products so I don't mess up my sunscreen? 11:02 How can I stop sunscreen from balling up? 12:08 How do I look less shiny? How can I get rid of the oil? 13:01 Do I need to reapply sunscreen? How do I reapply sunscreen with make-up on?

Hi Michelle:) How much amount sunscreen that is enough to protect our skin? I tends to make a thin layer of the sunscreen. Thank you so much

[@tanusree4124]

bernike adiwidjaja use sunscreens of spf 50 to 60. a little amount of them works.

[@fifi774]

How about using makeup under sunscreen?

[@nk3850]

My takeaways (I’m taking notes for myself as I watch 🤣) : - makeup containing sunscreen is ... pretty useless - apply skincare first - then apply sunscreen - let sunscreen dry down for 8+ minutes - if using primers or foundations, the oils can mess with the nice smooth sunscreen layer and reduce SPF; so instead of swiping or rubbing in your liquid makeup, use a beauty blender or compact puff to pat it onto the skin - when reapplying later, keep in mind that the existing makeup underneath the reapplied sunscreen will mess with the smooth layer that needs to form, thus reducing SPF. act accordingly. - if a sunscreen isn’t working within your beauty routine, try to find one more cosmetically elegant - the nambour study is AMAZING and has literally saved lives (and fine lines)

[@sapphiresapphire8319]

​@@LabMuffinBeautyScience because of my dry skin I just can't see myself using beauty blender or sponge to apply & blend liquid/cream makeup because it absorbs too much moisturizing stuffs on my skin. How can I deal with this? I regularly use fingertips + brush to build my complexion and heavily using combination of patting & swiping (but not that harsh application)

[@Farseli]

So glad you're doing videos these day. A beauty guru with a relevant PhD is amazing!

[@Farseli]

@Junior Beauty baby gurl better let companies like P&G, Unilever or L’Oreal know. They favor people with a PhD in chemistry or chemical engineering when hiring cosmetic chemists. A PhD in chemistry is highly relevant to skincare.

[@linelarsen8855]

This was news to me, as I've too been taught by many different sources that physical sunscreen reflects and chemical absorbs. Do you happen to have any sources explaining the matter further available for me to read? I would like to be more educated on the topic :)

[@bbappzz98]

i tend to really trust academic sources so i find a lot of stuff on scholar.google.com, i also like kindofstephen and labmuffin because they have backgrounds in chemistry and use scientific studies as sources lots of the time. i mean, there's so much info about skincare that it can be hard to trust so i recommend, if you're interesting, to get into looking at academic sources/research (also try to look at the source for it because sometimes it's biased or it's not peer reviewed) because they give so much more information than a youtuber/articles and because i feel more confident that it is in-depth. this is the sunscreen post i can remember reading: kindofstephen.com/physical-vs-chemical-sunscreens-myths/ he links some of the academic sources he uses.

[@mesCheerios]

A good approach that can be hard if you only have access to google scholar. When i was studying biology my professors always recommended to use google scholar as an extreme last resort because it is not as easy to find quality & all the most recent publications there

I use the Murad Invisiblur Perfecting Shield SPF30/PA+++. It’s a silicone primer and a sunscreen in one. It’s my favorite formulation, as it doesn’t ball up with the skincare I wear Underneath and it stays put for 12 hours. You can also re-apply it on top of foundation with a fluffy brush. I let it dry for a few minutes, Then I lightly buff a mineral powder foundation that has a SPF of 15 on top. I really wish the Murad product had a SPF of 50 😳 but it’s the sunscreen formulation that fits in flawlessly with my makeup routine, so I’m happy to wear it every day.

I still feel kinda paranoid about applying makeup on top of sunscreen. I use the Maybelline liquid foundation and I wait 15 minutes for the susncreen to dry. Then I would use a sponge to pat it on. Wouldn't the sponge absorb the sunscreen? Or will it mostly remain in tact since I waited the 15 minutes? I hear more people concerned about messing up their makeup but not so much messing up the susncreen. I know you addressed this point in your video but I always wonder whether or not I'm rubbing it off. Thank you! :)

[@jessicah3450]

My guess too is to pat it on instead of rubbing

[@ninapeitercarballidomendes9134]

I’d guess that the sponge could absorb a little bit of the sunscreen, but since you waited 15 minutes it’s probably ok. You could try applying 2 layers of sunscreen, waiting 15min and then applying a foundation with SPF. That way you’d guarantee that you have the protection

As I heard that Vitamin C is helpful to keep sunscreen more stable and longer lasting, while the others said that Vitamin C is photosensitive and make skin damaged when using in daytime.

[@isobel64]

good question. was this ever answered in a video

[@Sharonamy]

phuong chi nguyen i have watched a video about it. she said if using vitamine c overday you HAVE to apply sunscreen. i dont remember exactly why but imma assume due to it being bad for the skin otherwise

[@Sharonamy]

Sangria vitamin c helps protect the skin against UV from what i read so its not bad to wear overday. sunscreen is just extra thats needed also

[@JasminMiettunen]

This is an old comment, but the thing is, photosensitising products have a longer effect than overnight. Even if you use it in the evening, it will cause photosensitivity the next day. That is not a bad thing itself, it just means you need to be careful with sunscreen. So there is no reason not to use it during the day. It protects from free radicals in the air, too.

[@lisahayes3648]

Thank you so much for this video, I learned so much. I am diligent about applying sunscreen daily but I had no idea I could be compromising it by the way I used skincare underneath or putting a few drops of foundation into my sunscreen layer - I though I was just making a nice BB cream. I’ve taken notes and will be making adjustments.

[@scarletleigh7273]

I keep on wondering about spray-on sunscreens. I wear spf50 when I go out, but I am not able to over-apply on my make-up. You mentioned spray sunscreens briefly, but would they actually work over make-up? How about different kinds, i.e. regular spray and aerosol? I feel like aerozol is least likely to disrupt the make-up, but is it actually effective? Also, now that I'm thinking, do you wear sunscreen if you're not leaving home? I personally don't, bur after watching your video, I think I'm gonna look for spf day cream at least for summer. Oh, and one more thing...in your other spf video you mention spf100 - I am uneasy about it. I have used one before and it kept me wondering is spf this high actually possible or am I just overpaying for a gimmick, since it's weird that very few brands make it given that the possibility exists...🤔 what do you think?

[@LittleSparklingStars]

Spray ons are good to refresh protection through the day. But you do need a fluid one to start with.

[@JasminMiettunen]

Scarlet Leigh though the numbers sound very different, SPF 50 block about 98% of UVB rays, and SPF 100 blocks 99%, so that's about a one perfect difference. I've never seen any professional recommend SPF over 50, that is already so efficient that you are protected even if you are not applying as much as you should.

I do care about my skin, had a scare with a Bowen lesion in the last 3 years and that reminded me how lax I've been regarding sun protection, same goes for looking after my skin in general. Great, I'm wearing sunscreen and BB cream that is spf42 (my sunscreen is 50+) because I like the appearance of them together. They are both chemical sunscreens. I put my layer of BB cream in rather than rubbing. It seems to work.

4:12 Do you know if using a powder containing titanium dioxide is not a good idea to use on top of a sunscreen containing avobenzone? I use a powder foundation on top because without it my face is intolerably shiny, but is it then reacting negatively with the sunscreen ingredient? I'm in Canada btw so I haven't come across any sunscreens locally that use newer filters - I've started using neutrogena because of the helioplex stabilization but I don't know if that protects the avobenzone from the ingredients you mention here.

You are my hero! I have another question for you; why are some products with the exact same number of actives listed at varying levels of SPF? For example, I've seen products rated SPF 30 and SPF 50 both using 20% Zinc Oxide. Does the formula itself dilute the ability of the active to perform? For example, if one of these products contain more oil ingredients, or if one is more "water-resistant." Thanks for your help or insight on this!

[@LabMuffinBeautyScience]

Holly Renee You're right, it's often the formula itself that helps the zinc spread out more or less - it's also the particle size (smaller particles = better coverage).

[@CindyC71]

Related to the first question, do i need to wear sunscreen on days that i'm indoors literally all day? Because I work from home, and i keep the blinds closed/don't sit near any windows. I definitely wear it if i drive somewhere or go out, of course.

[@yibuseato]

[@tshirtjaune8018]

You are the best youtuber ever! So if we use an antioxidant serum (like Niod's survival 0) before our sunscreen, the film of our sunscreen is compromised and its effectiveness too, since it contains some silicones that remain on the skin?
