We've all known how important it is to use a sunscreen as it helps protect your skin from all the damage that the harmful UV rays can cause. The UV rays can penetrate right under your skin and in turn cause age spots, wrinkles and hyper-pigmentation which ultimately gives you sunburns and can even cause skin cancer. This is one major reason why you must make use of a sunscreen regularly. But as much as the sunscreen is important, many of us don't really know how to use it right, especially when you have a lot of makeup to add on. Hence, we're here with just the right kind of information you need to use your sunscreen with makeup.

- First things first, prepare your skin right by applying sunscreen on your face as well as on your neck. If it makes you look oily, you can use the one that actually suits your skin type. Apply it on your hairline, nose, sides of your cheek, jawline and forehead. These are the main areas that are supposed to be covered as they're most exposed to the sun.

- Applying the primer right before the sunscreen is the wrong method. It's very important to understand that any kind of skincare product should only go on the skin before you even apply the primer.

- Now, use a foundation that has SPF and that will act as a protective layer over your primer as well as sunscreen. Even a tinted BB cream with SPF will work best for you.

- You can even add an extra protection with every layer by choosing every product with an SPF variant and follow your makeup steps.

To finish with, use a setting spray with an SPF that works best by giving great results. This way, your skin will stay hydrated and it will add a protective layer throughout your skin.
