Frequently asked questions about powder sunscreen
Last year, we had the honour of welcoming a huge influx of new customers. We also received a number of questions about our product and how to use it. After all, powder sunscreen is a relatively new type of sun protection that not everyone is familiar with. This prompted us to create a list of the most frequently asked questions about our SPF powder. Hopefully your question is answered here as well!
1. What is powder sunscreen?
Sunday Brush is a mineral SPF powder that can be applied to the face and neckline using a handy self-dispensing brush.
2. Does the powder protect against the sun?
Yes, our formula offers both UVA and UVB protection by creating a reflective barrier on the skin.
3. How do I know whether the claimed protection factor actually works?
The Sunday Brush formula has been extensively tested in certified laboratories and has been authorised to bear the SPF 50 label. Our SPF powder also offers excellent protection against UVA radiation. The powder is guaranteed waterproof and sweat-proof and can be worn while swimming and exercising.
4. How do I apply the powder to my face?
The Sunday Brush powder is easy to apply with the soft self-dispensing brush. Move brush in a circular motion to distribute the powder evenly on your skin. Sunday Brush can also be used to protect the neckline and the top of the head from sun exposure. Click here to see how to apply Sunday Brush to your face.
5. How do I know whether my face is protected from the sun?
Apply the Sunday Brush powder in a circular motion and reapply throughout the day, as needed. When the UV index is high, it’s best to reapply the sunscreen every two hours.
If you’re not sure whether you’ve achieved the right level of coverage, apply an extra layer of sunscreen using a circular motion. The more often you use Sunday Brush, the easier it will be to apply.
To see whether you applied enough sunscreen, gently wipe your face with a tissue to check for any powder residue.
6. Do I have to reapply every two hours?
Yes. If you plan on spending a lot of time outdoors on a day when the UV index is high, we recommend reapplying every two hours. The self-dispensing brush makes application a breeze. Sunday Brush also protects against UVA radiation, which causes premature skin ageing.
7. Will Sunday Brush leave a powdery residue?
No, Sunday Brush does not leave a powdery or cakey residue. Our lovely, lightweight formula was developed by a renowned cosmetics manufacturer and comes in four flawless hues. The sunscreen was developed to blend seamlessly with your natural skin tone, which makes it ideal for women who wear little to no make-up, and for men and children as well.
8. Can I wear Sunday Brush under my make-up?
Yes! Sunday Brush can be applied before or after your make-up. Feel free to continue your daily skincare routine as usual, even if it means layering with an SPF day cream. Apply your cream or lotion first, then finish with Sunday Brush and reapply as needed.
9. How long does Sunday Brush last?
If you use Sunday Brush daily and reapply often throughout the day, it should last you at least three to four months. The right amount of coverage is important, so make sure you use plenty of product!
10. What’s the difference between traditional sunscreen and Sunday Brush powder sunscreen?
Powder sunscreen does not leave a greasy film or a white cast on your skin. Plus, it works immediately and you don’t have to wash your hands afterwards.
Traditional sunscreen is absorbed into the skin, while powder sunscreen sits on top of the skin and does not cause irritation. Read more about the difference between mineral and chemical sunscreen.
