We're only supposed to apply a pea-sized amount of sunscreen? 🤯
I sent my friend an Instagram reel of someone testing the Neutrogena “Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch” sunscreen. The texture looked thick and goopy, left a clear white cast, and started pilling later on.
My friend replied, saying the girl used too much and that “a little goes a long way.”
She uses retinol and vitamin C regularly, so I was kind of surprised to hear that from her.
The truth is, the girl in the video actually used the right amount. But I’ve realized a lot of people still think sunscreen only needs a tiny dot. I’ve even seen reviews of Asian sunscreens where people say one or two pumps “felt enough.” Honestly, I wish that were true 😭
I use Asian sunscreens too, and while they’re way better than most Western formulas, I’d gladly give up sunscreen altogether if I could. It’s the one step I wish I could skip, every single day.
Anyway, I think I’ll get my friend a skincare package for her birthday this year—with a few good sunscreens inside. Maybe that’ll help shift her mindset. Here’s hoping.
