Its getting close to that time of year! Sun and fun at the beach. You slather on your sunscreen at the beginning of the day or if you are really good you do it every 2 hours but then comes the end of the day, how do we get this off completely?
Body Wash and Gentle Scrub
Sunscreen is one of the best skin protectors on the market, but applying and removing it can leave behind oily or coated skin. Although applying and removing sunscreen frequently throughout the day is essential for optimal protection, cleansing should occur prior to each application to remove any existing layer before reapplying SPF. If your favorite body wash doesn’t quite remove all traces of SPF completely, try pairing it with gentle scrub or muslin cloth exfoliation techniques in addition to traditional body washing solutions to dissolve stubborn SPF and exfoliate while breaking it down while exfoliating gently while gently exfoliating and exfoliating gently exfoliating over time – then follow up with regular body washing to remove any remaining SPF residue!
Utilizing a double cleanse
This is an effective skincare practice widely favored by beauty enthusiasts when wearing makeup, SPF or excess oils on their faces or necks. Simply use an oil-based cleanser such as micellar water to dissolve any remaining sunscreen or makeup before following up with water-based cleanser to balance out your skin tone and rinse away any leftover cleanser residue – this way your skin is truly clean so it can take in additional treatments or serums as intended.
Some sunscreens can be more difficult than others to remove, particularly mineral and water-resistant formulas that contain ingredients like zinc oxide or physical compounds that require additional time and effort to dissolve and rinse away. To make the process simpler and gentler, we suggest including natural oil-based cleansers like coconut, sweet almond and jojoba oils into your skincare routine; they will help lift off stubborn sunscreen without stripping or drying out the skin.
Kuzneski offers three remedies to remove sunscreen stains on clothing: submerging the stained swimsuit or clothing in cold water with 1/4 cup of white vinegar as a natural bleaching agent; spray a fabric-safe hairspray over any stain; soak white clothing in an equal mix of baking soda and cornstarch, which acts as an effective home bleach.
What Is the Best Way to Remove Sunscreen?
While milky cleansers usually do enough to remove everyday products, for removing sunscreen you need something stronger – such as an oil cleanser – which will work better at dissolving any remaining traces. Cleansers without lather or foam won’t do as much, which makes using an oil cleanser perfect – massage some drops into your skin and they will dissolve any remaining sunscreen patches instantly, leaving your face looking perfectly clean and ready for reapplication!
For an extra dose of hydration, add a facial toner after cleansing in the morning or evening. Oriental Botanics’ soothing Aloe Vera, Green Tea & Cucumber Face Toner provides soothing relief after cleansing while softening any remaining sunscreen residues. Double cleansing or toning both help quickly remove sunscreen each morning and evening without overburdening yourself with complex skincare routines.
