Cathy Doll Jul 23, 2025

When it comes to skincare, sunscreen isn’t just a seasonal product it’s your skin’s daily armor against harmful UV rays. Whether it’s sunny, cloudy, or even raining, your skin is always exposed. Here's your complete Cathy Doll guide to making sunscreen your skin's best friend.

Why You Should Never Skip Sunscreen

Sunscreen helps protect your skin from UVA rays (which cause premature aging) and UVB rays (which cause sunburn). Daily application reduces the risk of tanning, pigmentation, fine lines, and even skin cancer. Think of it as your shield against environmental damage.

Choosing the Right Sunscreen

Not all sunscreens are created equal. Look for:

SPF 50+ for high protection
PA+++ or higher for strong UVA defense
Non-greasy, lightweight textures like gels, fluids, or milky lotions
Suitable for your skin type whether dry, oily, sensitive, or acne-prone

Cathy Doll sunscreens are specially formulated to provide broad-spectrum protection without clogging pores or leaving a white cast.

When and How to Apply Sunscreen

Here’s how to get the most out of your sunscreen:

Step 1: Apply on Clean Skin

After cleansing and moisturizing, apply sunscreen as the final step of your morning routine before makeup.

Step 2: Use the Right Amount

For your face and neck, you need about two to three fingers' length of product. Don’t forget areas like ears, hairline, and the back of your neck.

Step 3: Wait Before Stepping Out

Let the sunscreen absorb into your skin for 15–20 minutes before sun exposure for full protection.

How Often Should You Reapply?

Sunscreen wears off with sweat, oil, and time. Reapply:

Every 2–3 hours if you’re outdoors
After sweating, swimming, or towel drying
Even indoors if you’re sitting near windows or using screens for long hours

Cathy Doll offers refreshing sunscreen sprays and serums that can be reapplied easily even over makeup.

Sunscreen + Makeup? No Problem

Worried about ruining your makeup when reapplying sunscreen? Try these hacks:

Use a sunscreen mist lightweight and non-sticky
Tap on sunscreen serum with a sponge for even coverage
Use a powder sunscreen for a matte finish and quick touch-up

These methods let you stay protected and pretty at the same time!

Post-Sun Care Tips

After a long day outdoors, give your skin some extra love:

Cleanse thoroughly to remove sunscreen and impurities
Apply a soothing gel with ingredients like aloe vera or vitamin E
Use a hydrating night cream to repair and restore

This helps calm inflammation and prevent dehydration caused by sun exposure.
