How do you reapply sunscreen to your face?

Even if not wearing make up though, doesn't it feel gross to re-apply on skin that might be slick or sweaty?

I feel like I need to wash my face before I can re-apply.

Yes, it does feel gross, but the alternative is getting sunburned, so I put up with it. I do wash my face if I can.

I reapply elta md uv clear all the time mid day and it doesn’t feel gross at all. It is chemical/mineral though. An all mineral lotion would for sure feel sticky

This is when I bother to bring and wear a sunhat.

I am as pale as dead people, and I’ve never gotten burned with this routine:

Moisturizer with spf (let it set)

Heavy face sunblock (let it set)

Heavy foundation with spf

Bronzer

That works for local beaches. If I’m in and out of the water in Caribbean, then I need to reapply. Neutrogena makes a face mist (it’s not the spray can that was recalled).

I am also extremely fair (with red hair and freckles), and I follow a similar routine.

1. Cleanser
2. Toner (Lotion P50 or YTTP Kombucha)
3. Serums
4. Moisturizer with SPF
5. Sunscreen (obviously with SPF)
6. Foundation with SPF

I tend to shun the sun as much as possible, but when that's not possible, I reapply SPF if I'm outside for long by using a tinted sunscreen (I like CeraVe's tinted sunscreen) and then using a light powder over it to take away some of the sheen.

At the beach, I don't wear makeup at all, which makes it easy to reapply sunscreen. I also wear a wide-brimmed hat, long-sleeved sun shirt, and sit under a Shabumi for shade. As I said, I tend to shun the sun.

Spray a mist on top of makeup.

For days that I wear sunscreen and plan to be outside, I go without makeup.

This. The only "makeup" I use on active days outside is eyebrow pencil, because my eyebrows are so light nobody can see them. But sunscreen reapplications don't hurt eyebrow pencil, so it's all good.
