Sunscreen isn’t just a morning step—it’s a throughout-the-day commitment.
Even the best SPF breaks down over time from UV exposure, oil production, sweating, and friction, which is why dermatologists recommend reapplication every 2 hours when exposed to the sun.
This applies to all sunscreens—mineral and chemical.
That’s also why we love mineral SPF systems like Colorescience, which make reapplication easier with brush-on and tinted mineral pigments, helping maintain protection (even over makeup) and supporting defense against visible light that can contribute to pigmentation.
Think of SPF as a “set it and forget it” myth—it only works if you reapply consistently throughout the day. ☀️
