Is it safe to use makeup with SPF instead of sun lotion?Updated 4 hours ago

While wearing makeup that contains SPF is better than no protection at all, it should not be relied on as your only form of sun protection. Most people don’t apply makeup in the thick, even layer needed to achieve a good level of protection.

For effective protection, it’s best to apply a dedicated Facial sunscreen as the final step in your skincare routine—before makeup. This ensures your skin is getting a reliable, even layer of broad-spectrum sun protection.

Green People offers lightweight, non-greasy sun lotions specially designed for the face. These sit beautifully under makeup, won’t clog pores, and help protect against both UVA and UVB rays.

Bottom line: Think of makeup with SPF as a bonus, not a replacement. For full protection, always apply sunscreen underneath.
