How to Apply Sunscreen Correctly
Watch Dr. Priyanka Karuna's quick breakdown in the video or follow the step-by-step guide below for perfect daily sun protection.
Measure (The 2-Finger Rule)
Squeeze a full line of sunscreen along the entire length of your index and middle fingers. This provides the ideal quantity for your face and neck.
Dot Across Your Face
Dab the product into tiny dots across your forehead, cheeks, nose, chin, and neck to ensure even layer distribution.
Rub & Blend Smoothly
Gently massage using outward circular motions until the formula absorbs into the skin without leaving a heavy film.
Allow Time to Set
Wait 10 to 15 minutes before stepping out into direct sunlight or applying makeup to let the protective barrier bind properly.
