Quick answer
Apply doTERRA Sun Face Mineral Sunscreen Daily Moisturizer as the last step of your morning skincare routine. Use a nickel-sized amount and spread evenly over your face and neck at least 15 minutes before sun exposure.
Why a dedicated facial sunscreen matters
Daily sun protection is essential for maintaining healthy-looking skin. A dedicated facial sunscreen like the doTERRA Sun Face Mineral Sunscreen Daily Moisturizer combines sun protection with hydration, simplifying your morning routine. Mineral sunscreens use zinc oxide or titanium dioxide to physically block UV rays, making them a popular choice for sensitive facial skin.
Daily application steps
- Step 1: Start with clean, dry skin: Wash your face with your usual cleanser and pat dry. Apply any serums or treatments you normally use, such as vitamin C or hyaluronic acid, and let them absorb for a minute. Common mistake: Applying sunscreen over damp or oily skin can cause it to pill or not spread evenly.
- Step 2: Dispense the right amount: Squeeze a nickel-sized amount (about 1/4 teaspoon) of doTERRA Sun Face Mineral Sunscreen Daily Moisturizer onto your fingertips. This is enough for your entire face and neck. Using too little sunscreen significantly reduces protection. A nickel-sized amount is the minimum for adequate coverage.
- Step 3: Apply in gentle, upward strokes: Dot the sunscreen on your forehead, cheeks, nose, chin, and neck. Then blend outward and upward using gentle, circular motions. Pay extra attention to your hairline, ears, and jawline. Checkpoint: Make sure you cover all exposed areas, including the often-missed spots like the ears and back of the neck.
- Step 4: Wait before sun exposure: Allow the sunscreen to set for at least 15 minutes before going outside. This gives the mineral filters time to form an even protective layer on your skin. Skipping this wait time can leave your skin under-protected during the first minutes of sun exposure.
- Step 5: Reapply as needed: For continued protection, reapply every two hours if you are outdoors, after swimming, or after heavy sweating. If you are indoors all day, one morning application is usually sufficient. Remember that sunscreen wears off over time, especially with activity. Set a reminder if you plan to be outside for an extended period.
