Sunscreen has been around for years, and if you haven’t heard your dermatologist’s voice urging you to apply it daily, forgive me for sounding like a broken record.
But trust me, you’ll want to hear this. As the temperatures rise and outdoor adventures become more tempting, one wrong move and bam- sunburn! And let’s not even talk about premature aging, hyperpigmentation, and the increased risk of skin cancer.
If the thought of reapplying greasy sunscreen throughout the day makes you roll your eyes, here’s a game-changer: powder sunscreen.
Looking no different from your favourite setting powder, this innovative formula is made with titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, two powerhouse ingredients commonly found in traditional lotion sunscreens.
But unlike thick, sticky creams, this version is ultra-lightweight, easy to dust over makeup, and perfect for touch-ups on the go.
However, here's a little PSA: Powder sunscreen should not replace your regular lotion or cream sunscreen. Instead, think of it as a handy top-up to maintain protection throughout the day.

The best way to apply? Start with your usual SPF 30+ cream sunscreen in the morning. Let it sink in for about 15 minutes before applying your makeup.
Then, use the powder sunscreen for quick touch-ups to keep your protection strong without ruining your look.
Considering how effortless it is to apply, there’s no excuse to skip UV protection. Whether you’re heading to work, running errands, or lounging by the beach, dust it on and stay safe in the sun because your future self (and your skin) will thank you.
