You can stay in the sun with foundation on, but foundation alone is not enough to protect the skin, even if it contains SPF: the amount applied is too low to guarantee the stated protection. A specific sunscreen should always be used under foundation, reapplying it during l'extended exposure.
Does foundation really protect from the sun?
Foundation with SPF offers additional protection, but does not replace sunscreen. T'he stated SPF is achieved by applying approximately 2 mg of product per cm², a much greater amount than that used for makeup. It is useful for everyday protection in the city, over a dedicated sunscreen.
Is foundation with SPF suitable for everyday use?
Yes, the foundation with SPF is suitable for daily use: it evens out the complexion and adds an extra layer of protection to your everyday routine, for example in the city. For prolonged sun exposure, at the beach or in the mountains, it should be combined with a specific sunscreen applied beforehand, because the amount of foundation used for makeup is not enough to guarantee the stated protection.
What does SPF mean in foundation?
SPF stands for "Sun Protection Factor" and indicates the level of protection against UVB rays, which cause sunburn and erythema. In foundation, 'SPF adds extra protection to your daily routine, but to be truly protected from the sun, you should also use a specific sunscreen.
