When it comes to skincare, there is one product that will protect your skin from damaging outside influences as well as assist you in keeping your skin youthful and radiant: sunscreen. If you’re going to the beach or in front of a computer, sunscreen is a crucial component of any skin care regimen. At Radium Care, we realize how vital sun protection is, and our sunscreens are formulated to give you the utmost protection from damaging UV rays while also feeding your skin.
If you’ve ever found yourself scratching your head trying to figure out how much sunscreen to apply or how to apply it, then this is the guide for you! We’ll walk you through everything you need to know about sunscreen, the correct way to apply it, and the numerous benefits of applying it to your skincare routine.
Why You Should Include Sunscreen in Your Everyday Habit
Your skin is your body’s biggest organ and, just like the rest of your body, requires good care to remain healthy. Although most of us pay attention to anti-aging creams, cleansers, and moisturizers, sunscreen is too often neglected as a skincare necessity. The reality is that regardless of what your skincare concerns are, sunscreen always needs to be first on your list.
Protection Against UV Damage
The sun emits ultraviolet (UV) rays that can cause serious damage to your skin over time. UVA and UVB rays impact your skin and contribute to premature aging, wrinkles, sunburn, and even skin cancer. UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin and are responsible for causing aging signs, including fine lines and wrinkles, whereas UVB rays are the primary cause of sunburn and contribute to skin cancer. It is very important to have a sunscreen that offers protection against both UVA and UVB rays to be healthy on the outside as well.
Prevents Premature Aging
If not properly shielded, UV rays can deteriorate collagen and elastin in your skin, causing sagging, wrinkles, and fine lines. Through daily application of sunscreen, you are not only protecting your skin against damaging UV radiation but also reducing the natural process of aging, keeping your skin firm and elastic for a longer period.
Reduces Hyperpigmentation and Dark Spots
Exposure to the sun may cause the appearance of dark spots, freckles, and an irregular skin tone. Such pigmentation disorders, called hyperpigmentation, tend to worsen as a result of sun exposure. Sunscreen forms a protective cover over the bad rays of the sun, ensuring discoloration does not take place and creating an even complexion.
Keeps Your Skin Hydrated
There are sunscreens like those from Radium Care that have moisturizing properties that hold moisture in the skin, thus making it smooth, soft, and moisturized. Therefore, not only does sunscreen protect your skin against the harmful rays of the sun, but it also keeps your skin moisturized.
Having discussed the importance of sunscreen, let’s move on to a more in-depth discussion of how to apply sunscreen correctly for maximum protection.
How to Apply Radium Care Sunscreen for Best Results
Applying sunscreen is easy, but to achieve the best protection and benefits, it’s essential to do it properly with the appropriate amount. Below is a step-by-step guide on how to apply Radium Care Sunscreen properly as part of your daily routine:
Step 1: Cleanse Your Face Thoroughly
Before using any skin care product, it’s all about starting on a clean slate. Cleansing is step number one in every skincare routine, and it is particularly important before putting on sunscreen. Cleansing eliminates dirt, oil, and other contaminants that have probably accumulated on your skin over a day, so sunscreen can provide an even coat on your skin.
Employ a gentle, hydrating cleaner by Radium Care that suits your skin type. No matter if you have dry, oily, or combination skin, using the right cleanser is key to achieving balance and health for your skin. Wash twice a day—once in the morning and once at night—to maintain healthy skin and make it ready for other skincare remedies.
Step 2: Tone Your Skin
After cleansing, the application of toner comes in handy to balance the pH levels of your skin and constrict pores. It also helps in eliminating any remaining impurities that may remain on your skin after washing. Choose a toner that is suitable for the needs of your skin. For instance, if your skin is dry, apply a moisturizing toner, and if it is oily, apply one that suppresses the overproduction of oil.
A toner is the perfect base to apply moisturizer and sunscreen on. Let the toner be on your skin for a minute or two so that your skin has time to absorb it before moving on to the next step.
Step 3: Moisturize Your Skin
After toning and washing your skin, apply a moisturizer to help seal in the moisture and provide a smooth surface for you to apply sunscreen. This step should not be missed even if your skin is oily. Sunscreen performs better when applied to well-moisturized skin since it seals in moisture and keeps your skin from drying out or tightening.
Radium Care has a range of moisturizers that are formulated to work in conjunction with your sunscreen. From the gel light moisturizer to the extra moisturizing cream for dry skin, the correct moisturizer will leave your skin perfectly primed for sunscreen application.
Step 4: Apply Radium Care Sunscreen
Now that your skin is prepared, it’s time for sunscreen! Choose Radium Care Sunscreen with broad-spectrum protection—SPF 30 or higher is perfect for everyday use. For maximum protection against UV rays, choose a sunscreen that also contains PA+++ protection, which indicates its ability to guard against UVA rays.
How Much Sunscreen Should You Use?
Arguably the most frequently posed question is: How much sun lotion should I put on my face? The answer is easy: Use enough to cover the neck and face. Use two fingers’ worth of sun lotion. Then your skin is well enough protected without putting too little or too much product on it.
Application Technique
When applying sunscreen, massage the sunscreen into your skin with your fingertips using a light, upward, circular motion. Don’t forget to cover all exposed areas of your face, including the ears and the back of your neck, since these are frequently overlooked but still susceptible to sun damage.
Reapplication
For continuous protection, sunscreen needs to be reapplied every two hours, especially if you’re outdoors. If you’re swimming or sweating, opt for a water-resistant sunscreen. Radium Care’s sunscreens are designed for daily use but remember to reapply throughout the day for ongoing protection.

FAQ’s
What does my skin type require to identify the proper Sunscreen?
To select a proper Radium Care Sunscreen, match it to your skin type: gel for oily skin, cream for dry skin, mineral sunscreens for sensitive skin, and light versions for combination skin. Check to see that it does not contain any irritants, is water-resistant if necessary, and has an SPF of 30 or higher.
How much sun cream do I put on my face?
Apply about a half teaspoon of sunscreen to your face and neck to protect them. You’ll need about an ounce, or about the size of your palm, to cover your face, neck, arms, and legs, as well as your legs.
Can I wear makeup after applying sunscreen?
Yes, you can apply makeup after applying sunscreen, but apply it first, following cleansing and moisturizing. Before applying makeup, let it dry for 15 to 20 minutes. For touch-ups, apply powder sunscreen or setting spray containing SPF. Remember that sunscreen is required even under makeup because most makeup is not SPF enough for protection.
Can I use Radium Care Sunscreen on my body as well as my face?
Yes, Radium Care Sunscreen is safe and effective to use on both the body and face. Just be sure to use enough product over all exposed areas to provide proper protection.
