What to do if sunscreen cannot be removed cleanly

Sunscreen is something we use frequently, but we don’t know whether the sunscreen has been removed cleanly. As a common type of sunscreen, the ingredients of physical sunscreen are mainly oil components, and the better the SPF of the physical sunscreen, the higher its oil content will be.

Because oil cannot be completely removed by washing with ordinary water, special makeup remover oil/makeup remover water is usually required to completely remove it.

* Especially sunscreens above SPF 20 should be removed with special makeup remover oil.

Chemical sunscreens primarily absorb UV rays and then convert them into heat.

If the SPF isn't very high, chemical sunscreen will usually break down.

Therefore, when the chemical sun protection factor is SPF10-15, you don’t need to use makeup remover oil, you can just wash it with clean water.

If you are using chemical sunscreen SPF20 or below, you do not need a special makeup remover oil, ordinary makeup remover oil will do.

How do you know if you have removed the sunscreen thoroughly?

After removing makeup, use a cotton pad dipped in toner to gently wipe your skin again. If the color of makeup can still be seen, it means it has not been removed completely, so repeat the makeup removal steps.

It is best to remove makeup with a makeup remover or oil, then clean the skin with a facial cleanser, and then apply toner. It is best to do this before going to bed, after all, leaving makeup overnight is not good for the skin.
