By now, we all know how important it is to use sun protection all day, every day.
Sunscreen is the key to avoiding sunburns, blocking your skin from harmful UV rays, and protecting against skin cancer.
However, the way that you remove sunscreen at the end of the day is important, especially when it’s water-resistant. This goes for your face and body.
If you don’t take sunscreen removal seriously, you could be in for a rude awakening in the name of breakouts and clogged pores.
Plus, who wants to get into a clean bed when you’ve got sunscreen residue all over?
Exactly.
No matter how much SPF you slather on throughout the day, using these products is the best way to remove sunscreen and maintain healthy skin.
When it comes to removing sunscreen, you need to be double cleansing.
Start with an oil-based cleanser (like the one we found from supermodel Miranda Kerr’s line Kora Organics) to gently melt away SPF, makeup, and other impurities.
Then, follow it up with a gel or foaming cleanser to lift any residual product from your face.
Don’t forget about your body! After wearing sunscreen head to toe, you’ll need a relaxing (and exfoliating) shower to rinse away any leftover SPF.
Both Nécessaire and Courteney Cox’s brand Homecourt offer luxurious body washes that cleanse and hydrate deeply, and smell just like a spa.
