    it would be cool to see in like an hour or 5 or whatever what it would look like throughout the day, cause you’re supposed to reapply
  • @sophiaj1214
    As a makeup artist. Use the stick or lotion, then the powder, finish with the spray. Add your favorite lip stain and add the lip balm. Voila!

    YouTube algorithm has been recommending me this video since two years. FINE ILL WATCH IT I'LL WATCH IT!!!!!

    It would be cool to see who walking by is wearing sun screen on their face!
  • @pogchamp366
    Wouldn’t it be cool if we had a UV filter on our phones?? Then we could see how much coverage we are getting anywhere we are.

    The liquid sunscreen should always be the first base layer in the morning. Sprays and powder are only advised for use as reapplication every 2 hours if you're just staying indoors all day. UVA is still able to penetrate glass windows. But if you're outdoors, definitely reapply using whatever liquid base you used every 2 hours and more often if you're in water or sweating a lot. Use waterproof preferably as well.

    I always knew we all looked dumb in a different universe.
  • @Sad_Soraya
    I would love to see someone put on sunscreen and use a uv camera throughout the day just to see what happens and to see how necessary it is to reapply
  • I have been wearing sunscreen since I was 18. 36 years ago. UV rays were not as bad as they are these days. I'm 54, wrinkle-free. I wear sunscreen 365 days a year. Best habit ever.

    Tip: mineral sunscreens are my personal preference, because some ingredients such as oxybenzone and others are damaging coral reefs. Using mineral sunscreens that use ingredients such as zinc oxide is usually better!

  • It would be helpful if you listed the product names and their SPF number, particularly the stick and the lotion.
  • @tubeyou89119
    This is interesting and informative. Could you do one after 2, 3 hours to see without reapplication, how much sunscreen is left?
  • @felipefarizel
    I'm 34 and I've been using sunscreen every single day for almost 12 years now. I am pretty sure my skin wouldn't look the same if I didn't do this. Today it's like brushing my teeth...it's an habit.
  • Sun burns, SKIN CANCER, and eventually WRINKLEs (WHAT!!) weird order of priorities
  • @mochimeng2637
    There was plenty of sunscreen/sunblock but why they didn't have any UV cam or stuffs like that for a commercial to satisfy people that their products are effective enough to protect our skin, such disappointment😐
