To start, using enough sunscreen is important to get a good base. This would equate to about half a teaspoon or two finger lengths full for the entire face.

Throughout the day, reapplying sunscreen is a step a lot of people forget. There are numerous options for reapplying from dry powders to tinted sunscreens (so no worry about a white cast while on-the-go) to face mists.

Mbg shared beauty writer Hannah English's tip to reapplying sunscreen: use a dry beauty sponge to apply regular SPF over makeup to achieve a glowy look while keeping the skin safe from UV rays.

Don't forget to protect the eyes as well with a pair of sunglasses since squinting can cause fine lines around the eyes after a while.
