These substances are effective in smoothing the skin’s surface but have the disadvantage of not being able to penetrate the skin. Therefore, when used in combination with other products, it will cause stickiness and clumping, causing discomfort.
- Maybe, you are using two products that are not compatible with each other, for example, an oil-based product (a lot) and a water-based product (a lot). In fact, oil and water cannot dissolve together, so when they combine, they will cause separation and clumping.
- It could be because you use moisturizer after using sunscreen products containing Film Forming Agent. Oil will wash away products on the surface of the skin like when we use makeup remover oil, so when you apply sunscreen it will be clumpy.
Instructions on how to apply sunscreen without clumping
How to avoid clumping when applying sunscreen, in this section we will guide you.
1. Apply sunscreen about 15 – 20 minutes before going outside
Many studies have shown that your skin is very susceptible to damage from the first seconds of exposure to sunlight. Therefore, for sunscreen to work most effectively, you should use it about 15 – 30 minutes before going outside.
2. Moisturize first
This will be extremely necessary when you use sunscreen products that do not contain moisturizing ingredients. But currently on the market there are many products that combine two elements: UVA and UVB protection + moisturizing. Therefore, you can choose them to save time in daily skin care.

Use the appropriate amount of sunscreen
Sunscreen products often do not have detailed instructions on dosage when used. Therefore, many women will lack knowledge about this issue. According to experts, the amount of sunscreen used will depend on the area of skin you want to protect. Specifically:
- If you apply sunscreen to your face, you will need an amount of cream about 1 coin.
- For the body, you can use an amount of sunscreen about 3-4 coins.
4. Apply sunscreen properly
Take an amount of sunscreen about the size of a coin into your hand. Then, apply the cream in many spots on your face, use your hands to gently pat it and spread it evenly on the skin.
You should not apply sunscreen in a circular or spiral shape. Because when we use our hands to apply and rub the cream in this shape, the cream will be cakey and clumpy and will also mark folds and wrinkles on the skin. Besides, the circular motion of rubbing the cream will also cause the skin to clog pores, which can lead to acne.
5. Pay attention to makeup after using sunscreen
- Wait 3 – 5 minutes for the sunscreen layer to stabilize and then start with the makeup steps.
- You need to make sure the foundation layer is evenly applied on the skin.
- You should not rub too hard when applying foundation or spreading powder.
At this point, you already know the reason why sunscreen clumps, right? Hope you will have smooth skin to confidently score points in the eyes of others.
