Axis-Y Complete No-Stress Physical Sunscreen

Start with Clean Skin: To get the best results from your sunscreen, begin with a clean face. Use a gentle cleanser suitable for your skin type to remove any dirt, oil, or makeup. This ensures that your sunscreen can adhere properly to your skin and offer maximum protection. Toning and Moisturizing: After cleansing, apply a toner (if part of your routine) and a moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated. Sunscreen works best when applied on well-moisturized skin, as it helps lock in moisture and maintains the health of the skin.

Shake the Bottle (if needed): If the sunscreen has been sitting for a while, shake the bottle gently to ensure an even distribution of the formula. Amount to Use: For full protection, apply a generous amount of sunscreen. The general recommendation is to use about a pea-sized amount for the face and more if you're covering the neck or other exposed areas. For your face, aim for about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon (roughly 1.25 to 2.5 ml) to ensure adequate coverage. Don’t skimp on the sunscreen, as using too little may reduce its effectiveness.

Warm the Product: Dispense the sunscreen into your fingers and warm it slightly between your hands. This helps to make the formula easier to spread and also allows it to glide smoothly over your skin. Dotting the Sunscreen: Start by dotting the sunscreen on key areas of your face: forehead, both cheeks, nose, and chin. Avoid applying it directly to the eyes or lips, as these areas are more sensitive. Spread Evenly: Gently spread the sunscreen across your face in outward motions, making sure to cover all exposed areas evenly. Use your fingertips to gently massage the sunscreen into your skin. Be careful around the eyes, and if needed, use a smaller amount in the delicate under-eye area. Neck and Ears: Don't forget your neck and ears, as these areas are often overlooked and can also get sun exposure. Apply sunscreen to these areas as well to protect them from UV damage.

Massage the Product In: Gently massage the sunscreen into your skin using upward and outward motions. Physical sunscreens, like the Axis-Y Complete No-Stress Physical Sunscreen, may initially leave a white cast due to the mineral ingredients (like Zinc Oxide). However, with gentle massaging, this should blend into the skin more evenly. Wait for Absorption: Allow the sunscreen to absorb into your skin for a few minutes. This helps ensure that the protection from UV rays is fully in place before any other products are applied.

Makeup Application: After the sunscreen has absorbed, you can proceed with your makeup routine. This sunscreen can serve as a base layer, offering a smooth surface for foundation or any other makeup products. Avoid Overloading the Skin: If you are using other skincare products, make sure that the sunscreen is the last step of your morning skincare routine. Apply sunscreen after any serums or moisturizers to ensure it sits on top, protecting the skin from UV rays.

Check for Irritation: After using sunscreen, ensure that your skin feels comfortable and hydrated. If you experience any irritation, redness, or stinging, you may need to try a different sunscreen. However, the Axis-Y Complete No-Stress Physical Sunscreen is formulated with soothing ingredients like Centella Asiatica, which helps calm the skin, so irritation should be minimal. Evening Skincare: At the end of the day, when you remove your sunscreen, make sure to use a gentle cleanser or an oil-based cleanser to effectively break down and remove the sunscreen from your skin. This ensures that no residue is left behind, which could lead to clogged pores or irritation.
