Understanding UV Makeup
UV makeup is designed to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
It often contains SPF, PA ratings, and other protective ingredients.
Choosing the right UV makeup is crucial for outdoor activities.
- SPF 30 or higher for daily use
- PA+++ for broad-spectrum protection
- Water-resistant formulas for humid conditions
Choosing the Right Products
Look for products labeled as UV protective.
Check for ingredients like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.
Avoid heavy formulations that can clog pores.
Application Techniques
Apply makeup in layers for better protection.
Use a makeup sponge or brush for even coverage.
Don't forget areas like the ears and neck.

Mistakes to Avoid
Skipping sunscreen under makeup is a common error.
Using expired products can lead to skin issues.
