Required Dosage

2 Full Finger Lengths

Equates to ~1.25 grams (1/4 teaspoon) for face & neck to achieve full SPF 50+ rating.

Recommended Reapplication Frequency

Every 2 Hours

Or immediately after towel drying.

Two-Finger Rule

Squeeze two solid lines of sunscreen along the full length of your index and middle fingers. This covers the average adult facial surface area (approx. 2 mg/cm²).

Reapplication Over Makeup

Do not wipe your makeup. Use an SPF 50 fine mist spray or a cushion compact with broad-spectrum PA++++ for quick midday touch-ups without smudging.

Don't Forget Ears & Lips

80% of missed UV burns occur on the top of ears, eyelids, and lips. Always use a dedicated SPF 30+ lip balm before outdoor exposure.
