The small powder box is easy to carry and convenient to use. But the disadvantage is that the sponge can easily get too much powder, resulting in too thick application.

Sunscreen

Sunscreen refers to cosmetics that contain sunscreen agents that can block or absorb ultraviolet rays to prevent the skin from tanning or sunburn. According to the principle of sun protection, sunscreen can be divided into physical sunscreen and chemical sunscreen.

Sunscreen products with different SPF or PA values ​​need to be selected according to the specific target to achieve the purpose of sun protection. Sunscreen works by shielding the skin from UV rays. The main difference between sunscreen lotion and sunscreen lies in their physical properties. Creams generally have a water content of about 60%, and look relatively "thick", and are paste-like; while emulsions have a water content of more than 70%, and look relatively thin and fluid. Generally speaking, lotions are lighter than creams because they contain a higher water content, but formulators can still use different oily ingredients and thickeners to adjust the "greasiness" of the cream. So, we still need to look at the product itself.
