For your face, use about **half a teaspoon** of Sunstop sunscreen—roughly the size of a 50p coin. Start with dots on your forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin, then blend outward in gentle circular motions.
Pay special attention to often-missed spots like the bridge of your nose, ears, and along your hairline. Be gentle around your eyes, but don't skip this delicate area entirely.
Body Application
For body application, use about **one teaspoon per limb** as a general rule. Apply sunscreen in sections—arms, legs, torso—to ensure even coverage without missing spots.
Don't forget areas like the back of your neck, tops of your feet, and behind your knees. These spots often get overlooked but are just as vulnerable to sun damage.
Reapplication Guidelines
Reapply every two hours for continuous protection, or immediately after swimming, sweating heavily, or towelling off. Even **water-resistant** formulas need refreshing to maintain their effectiveness.
Set a phone reminder if needed—it's easy to forget when you're having fun in the sun.
Maximising Sunstop Sunscreen's Effectiveness
Timing and technique work together to give you the best possible skin protection. Apply your sunscreen generously—most people use only half the recommended amount, which significantly reduces the stated SPF protection. When in doubt, use more rather than less.
Layer your sunscreen over other skincare products but under makeup. This creates the most effective barrier while keeping your beauty routine intact.
Timing Your Application
Apply Sunstop sunscreen as the final step in your morning skincare routine, after moisturiser but before makeup. If you're using other active ingredients like retinol or acids, sunscreen becomes even more crucial for preventing irritation.
For **facial sunscreen** application, wait a few minutes between skincare steps to avoid pilling or uneven coverage.
Complementary Sun Protection Measures
Sunscreen works best as part of a complete sun protection strategy. Seek shade during peak UV hours (10 AM to 4 PM), wear protective clothing, and don't forget sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat.
These additional measures work alongside your Sunstop sunscreen to provide comprehensive protection against sun damage.
