HOW TO WEAR SPF OVER MAKE UP : SUPERGOOP DEFENSE REFRESH SETTING MIST SPF 50


Sunscreen is something which is always in my bag. I am refreshing my daughter's sunscreen fix every two hours. But what about Mom ? How does she put on Sunscreen(SPF) over her make up?Dermatologists claim that Sunscreen only lasts for about two hours, after which you should promptly apply. While its easier for kids, it was a dilemma for Moms.

Till there came along a range of miracle products - Make Up Setting Sprays with SPF. For me, that was a game changer. Is it just a new fad or does it actually work? Time to put it to the test.

There are quite a few brands which make this product, but I decided to try out the Supergoop Defense Refresh Setting Mist SPF 50. I was going for a road trip, which also involved many outdoor activities. Not to forget the triple digit heat index of the Summer Sun of the Midwest. So it seemed to be the perfect time to test out a new product. I always like trying out a product for some time, before I start reviewing it.



CLAIMS : 
The product claims to be a unique three in one weightless mist, that sets make up, helps control oil and shine and refreshes your defense against photo aging UV rays .  Its the last part , which I was most interested in.

Enlivened with an invigorating essence of antioxidant rich rosemary , this is a pick -me-up for fresh, flawless, sun-safe skin, throughout the day.

Suited for all skin types.



HOW TO USE : 

Shake !Shake !Shake ! Shake the bottle vigorously prior to each and every use . This not only ensures even distribution of the ingredinets, but it also transforms teh texture of the product within the bottle, so that it can be sprayed. Hold the bottle10-12" from your face. Pull your hair back, close your eyes, and "tuck" in your lips . Spray 7-10 times, working in a  circle. Keep eyes closed and lips tucked for about 3 seconds after application.


VERDICT : 
I had used my regular SPF(Neutrogena Soprt face SPF 70) below my Make Up. As I was nearing the two hour mark, I followed the instructions, of the bottle, and sprayed my face with Supergoop Defense Refresh Mist SPF 50. Make sure , your eyes are closed , when you spray this, as it can tingle your eyes. It claims to be weightless, and the mist was pretty light. As the liquid was drying, I could feel my face tightening,with the SPF shield. It was very evident. I took a look on the selfie cam, of my cell phone, to see if my face had gone white or not. But it hadn't. Asked my husband, if he saw any difference in my face (make up), but he didn't notice the difference. Took loads of pics, without flash, but could spot on the difference in the makeup. Its heavily scented and you cant miss it. It dries super fast. Make sure you have sprayed your whole face with it, so that its covered uniformly. It took me a few uses to master that. And you have to remember to shake up the bottle, to activate the physical SPF. This product is surely a game changer for me. I need not compromise on either my Sn Protection or my Make up, when I am out . I didn't get a tan, despite being out on hikes, and my make up stayed put. I have super dry and super sensitive skin, but this product didn't dry out my skin at all, or lead to any breakouts

I would highly recommend this product to everyone.
