Do you use SPF makeup products?
Sure, they’re convenient but effective?
Nope.
Dr. Fox says, “Due to makeup’s thickness and how it binds to the skin, it would take almost 14 times the normal amount of powder used and seven times the normal amount of foundation used to get the desired amount of SPF.” Your best bet is to apply regular sunscreen daily!
Here are some sunscreens to consider.

"Dr. Hanner removed my appendix when I was 6 months pregnant, in 2016. His confidence and calm meant the world to me at a super scary time. Owen Rhett is almost 4 now, and he’s pretty perfect. I wish Dr. Hanner the best of luck in his endeavors and will remember him always!" - Olivia Barber

Did you know that SPF stands for sun protection factor?
The SPF number relates to the amount of time it would take skin to burn. In other words, SPF 15 means sunbathers can bask 15 times longer without getting a sunburn than they would without sunscreen.
Midtown Surgical and Skin Institute's mission is to provide accessible and compassionate surgical care that you can trust.
