When it comes to protecting your skin from sun damage, wearing sunscreen is non-negotiable. But here’s the catch: most people don’t apply nearly enough.
If you're investing in high-quality SPF, you might as well use it properly. Otherwise, you're not getting the protection your skin needs — or that your product promises.
So, how much is enough? Let’s break it down.
☀️ The Gold Standard Rule: The "Two-Finger" Method
Dermatologists recommend applying 2 milligrams of sunscreen per square centimeter of skin. But unless you’re carrying a scale, that’s not very helpful.
A more practical method?
👉 Use two full finger-lengths of sunscreen (from the base to the tip) for your face and neck alone.
That’s about ½ teaspoon, or roughly 1/4 of a tablespoon.
For your whole body, aim for:
🧴 1 shot glass worth of sunscreen (approx. 1 oz or 30 ml).
This covers:
-
Face + neck
-
Arms
-
Legs
-
Torso (front + back)
💡 And No, Your Makeup with SPF Isn’t Enough
SPF in foundation or moisturizers sounds convenient — but the truth is, you’d need to apply 7x the normal amount of foundation to reach the level of protection promised on the label.
Solution? Layer it:
-
Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen as your base.
-
Apply makeup on top if you like.
-
Reapply SPF throughout the day.
⏰ How Often Should You Reapply Sunscreen?
Every 2 hours, especially if:
-
You're outside
-
You're sweating
-
You're swimming
Even the best SPF doesn’t last forever.
🌿 Internal Protection Matters Too
SPF protects from the outside. But sun damage also triggers oxidative stress inside your skin — causing collagen breakdown, inflammation, and premature aging.
That’s where Gloi Sun Care Capsules come in.
Our formula works from the inside out:
-

✔️ Takeaway: More is More (When It Comes to Sunscreen)
If you’re not applying enough sunscreen, you’re getting less than half the protection you think you are.
So tomorrow morning, do your skin a favor:
👉 Two fingers for your face.
👉 A shot glass for your body.
👉 Gloi for the rest.
Inside + out = full spectrum defense.
