Myth: 20 Plus 20 Equals 40

 

Myth: 20 Plus 20 Equals 40

When it comes to SPF, traditional math doesn’t apply. The SPF 20 in your foundation layered with the SPF 20 in your sunscreen does not equal an SPF of 40. It’s more a matter of quality than quantity.

What layering does provide is accuracy. The truth is, most people don’t apply enough of their SPF to really deliver the SPF benefits and rarely apply it evenly on the first go-round. To get the promised benefits, multiple layers are essential and adding an SPF sunscreen on top of an SPF moisturizer and/or foundation is the best way to insure you’re truly covered.

So, do you layer up?
