The great majority of people do not apply nearly enough sunscreen to get the labeled amount of SPF.
General recommendation is to use 1/2 tsp for your face, ears and neck. This often = ✌🏾+ finger lengths.
So ~1/4 tsp for face and ~ 1/4 tsp for neck!
Yes that much! It’s important to find a good sunscreen that won’t feel heavy, leave a cast or that you’ll likely try and penny pinch!
👀Did you apply the correct amount of sunscreen today?

I apply 2 fingers
That’s just what beauty bloggers on YouTube or Instagram says but all dermatologist says otherwise maybe the two fingers for your face but what about your neck and decolletage depending on what you are wearing and it also depends on the amount you put on your fingers
@Tania D I feel like 2 fingers it’s the équivalent of 1/2 teaspoon tbh but maybe because I’m pretty heavy handed. Also for mh décolleté/chest I use body sunscreen. That way I can save some face one.
I guess it can be 2 fingers.. it depends on how much you are putting on your fingers.. I don’t do the two or 3 fingers I just put in my palm and just judge it..
I hate this rule. 😩 Even the nicest, most elegant Asian sunscreens feel like just a bit too dang much at this amount. Try it with a typical American sunscreen and you could scrape that mess off with a butter knife. 🥴
My face is way too small for that much. I did the measurements from Ramon’s video and I need a little more than an eighth of a teaspoon for my face.
😂😂💀💀😆😆😆
Pls make a little better clearer videos. Your full YT videos are far better.
She said to use 1/2tsp of sunscreen for both your face and neck. How much clearer can she get??
Can you not read or something
Ah that’s why my momma used to blind me that ish back in the day. She used way more than that!
Hello Dr Alexis Stephens. I have a question. What is best sunscreen for guys. Colorscience sunscreen dark residue get on my clothes and it feel like I am wearing makeup. For the fellas,what is a good sunscreen. Thanks in advance.
Try Trader Joe’s, if there’s one in your area. Comes in an orange tube. $6 for a tube that lasts a while. There’s also black girl sunscreen kids version.
yea i love the color science one but I can’t wear it in the summer, it gets everywhere
Try an Asian, Australian, or European sunscreen. Stylvana has options.
Wuh loss!! I think I’m guilty!!
But I’ll do better, Doc🙈
Thank you for keeping us in check
Amen!
Ugh but my skin already oily af!! Between that and moisturizer.. ugh
I use the missha sun gel 50spf (the blue one) and it helps
Try an Asian Australian or European sunscreen. 😊
@yawnjun thanks
@N J You’re welcome!!😊 I remember how hard it was finding sunscreens for my skin type, since I have combination skin.
Other recommendations: -Trader Joes Daily Facial Sunscreen with SPF 40, it’s $8.99, -Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Weightless Face Sunscreen SPF 30, -Black Girl Sunscreen for Kids SPF 50. These are the ones on my list next.
Whoa..that’s a lot lol
Is it a 1/4 or a 1/2? I’m confused
Does this apply to mousse-y SPF too? Thank you!
Thanks for breaking it down bc so many just say 1/4 and apply it all over their face and neck. I just use an entire tablespoon lol 😝
I think I’m good I put like a tablespoon
it’s so expensive :(
Thank you!
