How to wash off sunscreen

1. Cleaning of physical sunscreen

Sunscreen cleaning has a lot to do with the type of sunscreen and its SPF. If it is a physical sunscreen with a high SPF, then professional makeup remover oil is usually required for makeup removal. The reason for this is that the main ingredient of physical sunscreen is oil, and the higher the SPF of the physical sunscreen, the heavier the oil content. Simply rinsing with water or using facial cleanser often cannot completely clean it.

2. Cleaning of chemical sunscreen

Chemical sunscreens work by absorbing ultraviolet rays and then breaking them down into heat, thereby achieving their harmful effects. Compared with physical sunscreens, sunscreen ingredients have lower residues. If it is also a sunscreen with a light SPF, it can be washed off with clean water. If it is a chemical sunscreen with a relatively high SPF, you will need to use facial cleanser or makeup remover oil to clean it more thoroughly.

Therefore, whether sunscreen can be thoroughly removed with facial cleanser depends on the specific actual situation. Not all sunscreens can be thoroughly removed simply by washing the face. Other makeup removal products such as makeup remover oil are also required.

Can sunscreen be used as a barrier?

1. Sunscreen is for people to apply when the weather is hot, so that they can avoid the erosion of ultraviolet rays even if they are not under its direct sunlight.

2. Primer refers specifically to the cream used before applying makeup. Its main purpose is to make makeup easier to apply evenly and prevent it from coming off after application.

To achieve this goal, just make the skin oily and smooth, not too dry, so that the fat-soluble pigment particles can easily and evenly adhere. Therefore, this function is not unique to isolation cream, and ordinary lotions or creams can also have this effect.

However, if the lotion or cream contains more oil and is sticky, sometimes the foundation will be attached too much and difficult to spread evenly. In order to avoid such problems and the feeling of being overly greasy, isolation creams often use other non-oily but highly fat-soluble ingredients to help the spread and adhesion of makeup.

This is the introduction to how to clean sunscreen. It is better not to use sunscreen as a barrier. It is better to choose a special barrier product.
