Is it better to apply sunscreen by hand or by a beauty sponge? Does applying sunscreen by hand carry bacteria?

Generally speaking, sunscreen is applied directly to the face with hands just like lotion and lotion. But I heard that it is best to use a beauty sponge to apply sunscreen, otherwise it will be infected with bacteria. So is it better to apply sunscreen with hands or with a beauty sponge?

It is recommended to pat it directly on your face with your hands. You don't need to use a beauty sponge when applying sunscreen, because the way to apply sunscreen is not to apply it on your face, but to pat it on your face with your hands. If you use a beauty sponge to apply sunscreen, it will reduce the sunscreen effect of the sunscreen, which is counterproductive.

First of all, it is best to use a sponge or cotton pad to apply sunscreen, because it can ensure that the sunscreen is applied more evenly, and it is also more hygienic and healthy, and the makeup will be more natural. However, when using a sponge to apply sunscreen, you must pay attention to cleaning and regular replacement. A sponge egg can be used for 1-2 months, and it should be gently cleaned 1-2 times a week.

If you pat or apply external force when applying sunscreen, the raised skin bumps will be covered with less sunscreen, and more sunscreen will be pressed into the furrows, resulting in insufficient sunscreen on the skin bumps. Also, sunscreen does not need to be absorbed by the skin, so it does not need to be patted, and rubbing it too hard may cause it to become muddy.

Correct application method: Use your palm or 4 fingers stretched out and put together to gently spread it evenly, and let the sunscreen film dry naturally.

The size of a coin

The most popular saying on the Internet at present is that 2 mg should be applied per square centimeter. Our facial skin area is about 300-400 square centimeters, so at least 0.6-0.8 g of sunscreen should be applied each time.
