Many women are sharing that, every day, although they are very careful to apply sunscreen, their skin is still dull, pigmented, and freckled? Although using an expensive brand-name sunscreen, it does not work well and the skin is still dry and dull. So how much sunscreen is enough to achieve the maximum effect?
If sunscreen is applied too little, the skin will not be protected by ultraviolet rays as the time to protect the skin will be greatly reduced. Since then, the skin is prone to dryness and dullness, accelerating the aging process of the skin. But applying too much is also not good, will clog pores causing acne, large pores, and faster skin aging.
Many experts have pointed out that, to achieve the correct SPF as the manufacturer claims, we will need 2 mg of cream per square centimeter on the skin, which is the number of standards that the manufacturer has applied. When testing the effectiveness of the cream, to make it easier to imagine, it is about a small penny.
So how much cream is enough for each area of the body?
For the forehead and nape: 1 medium-sized coin
To minimize sunscreen drift due to a matte texture, it is recommended to use a cream containing Zinc Oxide.
Nose, ears: 1 small coin
For these regions, a small coin is suitable for skin protection. Note that the ear area also needs to apply the cream evenly on the top and corner of the ear.
Rest on face: 2 large coins
For the eye area, you should use a physical sunscreen to both protect the skin as well as reduce irritation, besides, you need to wear sunglasses for comprehensive protection of your skin.
For the rest areas like cheeks, chin you should use two large size coins.
Not only the face, but the body also needs to be thoroughly sun-protected.
For shoulders, arms, and legs, especially on beach days, you need to apply about two medium-sized coins. The chest is about a large coin and the lung is two large coins. Also, if you sunbathe on the beach, be sure to reapply the same amount of sunscreen regularly.
