- Combination skin
- Sensitive skin
How to use
Apply an appropriate amount to the skin evenly and in small amounts. For your face and neck, please apply sunscreen carefully after preparing your skin with basic skincare products. If you use too little, you will not get sufficient sun protection. Be careful not to get the liquid directly on your clothing, and wait until it dries before wearing it. To maintain its effectiveness, please reapply frequently after wiping off sweat. When removing it, wash thoroughly with the cleanser you usually use (use face wash and makeup remover for the face, use body cleanser for the body). If it is difficult to remove, soak a cotton pad or towel in some cleanser and apply it to the skin, then wipe it off. To prevent dripping and clogging, wipe the mouth of the container clean and close the cap tightly after use.
