Do I need to remove my makeup after using sunscreen? How should I do it?

Do you need to remove your makeup after applying sunscreen? Most men may not know much about this question. Sunscreen can block ultraviolet rays and protect the skin from damage. Applying sunscreen is already a hassle for men, so do you still need to remove your makeup?

1. Do I need to remove my makeup after applying sunscreen?

You need to remove your makeup. Sunscreen is a cosmetic product. Even if it contains skin care ingredients, it cannot change the ingredients of the cosmetics.

And because sunscreen has strong water and sweat resistance, ordinary facial cleansing methods, even the use of facial cleansers, cannot completely remove it. You must use a dedicated makeup remover to remove the residue of sunscreen.

2. How to remove sunscreen

1. Non-waterproof sunscreen should be washed directly with facial cleanser

If you use low-factor, non-waterproof sunscreen, you don't need to use special cleansing oil, just use facial cleansing products to clean it, just like washing your face normally. This is because non-waterproof sunscreen is soluble in water, and using facial cleanser can clean the dirt in the stratum corneum of the skin, and at the same time, the sunscreen on the surface is also washed off.

2. Waterproof sunscreen needs to be cleaned with makeup remover

If you are using a sunscreen that is marked as waterproof and oil-proof, you must use a makeup remover to clean it thoroughly, because waterproof sunscreen is insoluble in water and is difficult to remove with a facial cleanser. Otherwise, if it is not removed thoroughly, it will cause clogged pores.

Method: You can pour a proper amount of cleansing oil on a cotton pad, gently wipe it along the skin texture of your face, then wash it with clean water, and finally wash it again with a facial cleanser to deeply clean the dirt and oil on the skin.
