The Garnier Ambre Solaire Over Makeup Super UV Face Protection Mist SPF50 is designed for practicality and effective daily sun protection, especially for those who wear makeup. Its primary use is for reapplication of SPF throughout the day without disturbing your cosmetic look. For instance, you can apply your regular sunscreen in the morning, then use this mist for touch-ups before stepping out for lunch, commuting home, or anytime you feel your sun protection might be waning.
To ensure optimal performance, shake the bottle well before each use. Hold the can approximately 15cm from your face, close your eyes and mouth, and spray evenly in a continuous sweeping motion. Allow it to dry completely. This method helps create a uniform protective layer. It's particularly useful for urban environments, outdoor events, or long days where constant sun exposure is a concern, providing an invisible shield against harmful UV rays. Remember that regular reapplication, typically every two hours, is crucial for maintaining effective sun protection, particularly after sweating or towel drying.
Setup & Application: Before initial use and every subsequent application, shake the bottle vigorously. Hold the mist approximately 15cm (about 6 inches) away from your face. Ensure your eyes and mouth are closed tightly. Spray generously and evenly over your face in a sweeping motion, ensuring full coverage. Allow the product to dry completely without rubbing. Avoid inhaling the mist.
Compatibility: This mist is specifically formulated to be compatible with makeup. It's designed to set lightly on top of your foundation, blush, and other cosmetics without causing smudging, streaking, or caking. It can also be used on bare skin for general daily sun protection.
Care & Storage: Store the product in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Do not expose to temperatures exceeding 50°C (122°F). Keep out of reach of children. The can is pressurized; do not pierce or burn, even after use.
